In a recent interview, Piolo Pascual shared that he’s doing well despite being loveless for over a decade. In that span of time, he said he didn’t look for a special someone.
“I enjoy being single without any worries. It even came to a point where I got used to it, and my work and family became my top priorities. I remember being told once that the longer you stay single, the more you’ll enjoy it, and the less you’ll look for a love life. For thirteen years, I’ve been single. My profession has become my love life,” he said.
Does this mean he’s no longer interested in a committed relationship?
“Not for now. I mean, I’m at a point in my life where I’m so busy with my career. I don’t see the point of being with someone, especially since I have so many projects lined up,” he replied.
“I’m always with my family and friends. Having a love life is not something I’m looking for at the moment. I’ve gotten used to being single. But definitely, I’m not closing my doors to a romantic relationship in the future,” he continued.
What qualities does he look for in his next girlfriend?
“Well, first and foremost, she must be a Christian. She should also be family-oriented, kind, generous, and not full of herself!”
As for his rumored romance with Shaina Magdayao, which started after their viral photos in 2021 when they were spotted vacationing in Boracay, Piolo had this to say: “I think things got a little out of hand because of the photos that went around. I don’t want to comment any more on questions about the real score between us. There’s nothing new, and I just want the issue to die a natural death.”
“It’s just the same. I guess it’s better not to talk about it. Let the speculations die down because it’s been years, and they keep saying the same thing. For now, it’s as simple as that. As they say, what you see is what you get,” he concluded.

Young star Jillian Ward recently revealed in a TV interview that she had considered quitting show business a few times in the past due to personal challenges and anxiety while growing up in the public eye.
“My private life is the complete opposite of what people imagine when they see me as a public figure. They picture me as a jolly person,” she shared.
“Growing up, my parents were very, very strict. I had to work for everything I had, even my toys. It was tough during those days. All my movements were monitored. Then, when they separated, they gave me freedom, which was good, but it also became difficult for me because I didn’t know where to start.”
The My Ilongga Girl star admitted that she still struggles with anxiety and can be hard on herself at times.
“I grew up having difficulty saying no. There was one incident during my grandfather’s wake when I was just 13. I was grieving and crying, and a fan approached me for a selfie, and I obliged. You could just imagine!”
Fortunately, Jillian has since learned to protect her emotional and mental health.
“Yes! I’m happy that I’ve learned to set boundaries to safeguard my emotional and mental well-being,” she ended.
