Lovi Poe on coping with breakups
LOVI wants to enjoy being single
Lovi Poe described her two-year relationship with ex-boyfriend Rocco Nacino as “very good, filled with love and happiness.”
But in the end, she said, they felt that they were too young to turn “their romance into something more.”
“I don’t think we were ready to carry the kind of relationship we had,” the actress told reporters in a recent interview, shortly after she renewed her exclusive contract with GMA 7 for another three years. “We need to grow separately, and I need to become more of a woman; him, more of a man.”
Though she didn’t go into detail on why they broke up—reportedly last year—Lovi assured that she and Rocco parted ways amicably, and that the actor will always be “special” to her.
“Rocco is a good guy, ideal even,” she said. “What I had with him I will always treasure, and I learned a lot from our relationship. I’ll never forget that.”
As for the possibility of getting back together, the 27-year-old talent doesn’t seem to be closing her doors and would rather let time take care of things.
“If it happens, it happens. If not, maybe it isn’t meant to be. We don’t know what the future holds,” Lovi pointed out.
At the moment. she said she wants to enjoy being single. Is it because of the non-show biz guy she has been spotted with recently? “He’s a good friend,” she
clarified. “He’s French… He was just visiting.”
Coping with breakups is never easy, she said, and it could be a long, difficult process. Still, she’s grateful that she has her hands full these days, which helps her “move forward.”
Lovi and Derek Ramsay will headline a movie, titled “The Escort.” She is likewise the lead star of the coming series, “Someone to Watch Over Me,” where Lovi will be paired with Tom Rodriguez.
The series, she related, tackles the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, and the challenges it poses, even to young couples. “We want to raise awareness about this matter,” she said, adding that she did her own research so she could have a better grasp of the show’s concept.
“I always do my best, of course. I want to make my fans happy,” Lovi said.
