Actress Angel Locsin said she’d be hurt if the rumor romantically linking her ex-boyfriend Phil Younghusband to KC Concepcion were true because “it happened too soon” after their split.
In a recent event organized by the local clothing brand Folded & Hung, Angel said she had heard of the report and was “surprised” by it.
She confirmed her breakup with the Filipino-British football star in October via her Twitter account, but did not reveal the cause.
Unconfirmed
“But we know how it is in show biz; not everything we read in the papers or see on TV is true. I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. It’s just that, as his ex, parang ang bilis,” Angel told entertainment writers. “While I still haven’t confirmed this, I just want to say that I will support whatever makes Phil happy. Come to think of it, it’s his life. I have nothing to do with [Phil] anymore.”
Angel said she learned a lot from her two-year relationship with Phil, but refused to elaborate.
“After what happened to us, I should already be an intelligent person; I should already be a love expert, but honestly I’m not,” she said.
Angel added, “Phil is a good person. We didn’t end our relationship as a result of a big fight. He will always be special to me.”
KC CONCEPCION
The actress, who will soon play Darna in a coming Star Cinema film, said she just wanted “to be single first,” to concentrate on her family and work: “I want to give my heart a rest.”
Despite what happened, she said, she was sure the right guy would come along. “I’m not looking for him, but I know he’s out there. I just hope that whoever I give my heart to next will be the one.”
Ex’s breakup
Asked to comment on the breakup of fellow Kapamilya artist Luis Manzano from Jennylyn Mercado, Angel said she found it sad that a number of popular show biz couples split up this year. Luis is
Angel’s ex-boyfriend.
“Out of respect, I will not talk about Luis,” she pointed out. “He’s a good person. Though we hardly talk nowadays, I still consider him a friend.”
