SHE IS in touch with former boyfriends Dennis, Rayver and Derek.
“It’s my choice to be single for two years,” said actress Cristine Reyes. But she admitted that she has a new admirer in Gilas Pilipinas basketball player Kevin Alas.
The “Honesto” star said work was a big factor in that decision. “Saan ko pa isisingit ang love? ”
Aside from “Honesto,” Reyes is a regular on the Sunday variety show “ASAP.” She is also working on a movie titled “The Gifted,” with costars Anne Curtis and Sam Milby.
She is “interested” in the cager, Reyes confessed. “He’s nice to me,” she told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. “However, I can’t tell if he’s courting me or not.”
Alas always posts comments on her Instagram account, she revealed. “He likes uploading photos with his little brother. Weakness ko ’yon; I’m fond of kids. He has also invited me to watch him play. ”
But, Reyes reiterated, “If Kevin can wait for two years, that would be better.”
Friends, neighbors
The Kapamilya star denied the rumor that she has reconciled with actor Rayver Cruz, a former boyfriend. “We hang out a lot because we live in the same neighborhood,” she said. “Some people just can’t accept the idea that one can be friends with an ex.”
She insisted that she has likewise maintained friendships with two other exes, actors Derek Ramsay and Dennis Trillo. “I can discuss anything with Derek… and I’m still close to Dennis’ family.”
Reyes recently treated her mom, Frances Klenk, and siblings to a trip to Hong Kong to celebrate her 25th birthday. All is well between her and her older sister, actress Ara Mina, she

clarified. The two had a huge squabble last year that resulted in Mina filing a libel case against her.
Reyes claimed she has become more mature. “I rebelled,” she confessed. “I was angry because I felt my whole family lied to me. I didn’t know who my real parents were until I was in grade school.”
She would rather not discuss the issue further, so as not to hurt her biological mom and foster parents, she said. “What’s important is that everything has been settled. I support both families.”
Reyes added: “I feel bad that Ate Ara and I fought. I had so much angst until last year.”
