Tatlong taon na simula nang mag-break sina Andrea Brillantes at Ricci Rivero at since then ay wala na raw silang communication, ayon sa aktres.
“Wala pong contact at all,” sey ni Blythe (real name ni Andrea) sa panayam sa kanya sa vlog ni Karen Davila.
Sundot na tanong sa kanya, “And you’re happy with that?”
Mabilis na sagot ni Andrea, “Of course!” sabay tawa.
“I think he is happy too. I mean, I don’t think kailangan mong mag-keep ng contact sa mga... like you need to keep in contact with some exes,” dagdag niya.
Sa tanong kung paano siya naka-get over sa kanyang past relationship, sey ng aktres, “Madali kasi akong tumanggap po, eh. Bilang isang tao, madali akong tumanggap at mag-let go.”
Paliwanag niya, “Because before I leave relationships or sa work o kahit na ano, bago ko i-let go, ibinibigay ko kasi lahat, ang lahat-lahat ko at ‘pag ‘di talaga kaya, alam kong hindi na kaya at wala akong regrets kasi alam kong naibigay ko na ang lahat ko at wala akong pagkukulang.”
Sey pa niya, “Eh, di mag-focus na lang ako sa work ko. There’s more to life than just boys and relationships. Kaya ako mas naka-move on.”
Sa ngayon ay may bago nang nagpapasaya kay Andrea Brillantes, ang kanyang non-showbiz boyfriend na si Franchesko Juan V. Capistrano o kilala bilang Pankie.

MADIR NI CAROL BANAWA, PUMANAW NA
NAGLULUKSA ngayon ang dating aktres-singer na si Carol Banawa dahil sa pagpanaw ng kanyang ina.
Inanunsiyo niya ang malungkot na balita sa kanyang Instagram (IG) account last Sunday.
Ayon kay Carol na based sa US, payapang pumanaw ang kanyang ina sa pagtulog nito.
“Last night, our beloved Mama passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by the people who loved her most. Our hearts are broken, and we already miss her more than words can ever express,” simula niya.
Inalala rin niya ang mga mabubuting katangian ng kanyang nanay.
“We will miss the way she could light up a room simply with her presence. We will miss her laughter, her stories, her warmth, and the love she gave so freely to everyone around her. She had one of the kindest hearts — humble, generous, selfless, and always thinking of others before herself. No matter what she went through, her trust and faith in God never wavered. She carried herself with so much grace, strength, and love, and she touched so many lives because of it,” aniya.
“Mama loved deeply and wholeheartedly, and anyone who knew her was blessed by her kindness and care,” patuloy niya.
Pamamaalam ni Carol sa ina, “But now, Mama, you finally get to rest. Now, you get to be with Papa and Kuya again — the two people you loved and missed so dearly.
While we grieve deeply here on earth, we also find peace and joy knowing that you are now with our Lord Jesus Christ, whom you loved with all your heart.”
Mensahe pa niya, “Do not worry about us, Mama. We will be okay. You raised us with so much love, strength, faith, and resilience, and we will continue to do our best to make you proud every single day.
“So this is not goodbye. Until we all see each other again.
“Please give Papa and Kuya the biggest hug from all of us. We love you so much,
Mama. Forever and always.”
