Kylie Versoza has revealed she had dated her “Baby Boy, Baby Girl” leading man Marco Gumabao even before getting into a relationship with ex-boyfriend, actor Jake Cuenca.
The beauty queen-turned-actress made the confession during her interview with TV host Boy Abunda in the March 15 episode of the show “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” where she was asked about her past romance with Gumabao.
“Siguro, a long time before Jake [Cuenca], long way before Jake, mga two years [before getting into a relationship with Jake Cuenca]. We tried. We tried it out, but bata pa kami n’un eh,” she said.
(Perhaps, it was a long time before Jake Cuenca, long way before Jake, about two years. We tried. We tried it out, but we were so young back then.)
During the interview, Abunda noted the “spark” between Versoza and Gumabao although the actress noted that they remain “very good friends.”
“Happy ako sa lahat ng mga pinagdaanan [ni Marco Gumabao] sa buhay niya. I’ve seen him grow as an actor, as a person, nagca-catch up pa rin kami (I’m very happy for Marco Gumabao’s milestones in his life. I’ve seen him grow as an actor and person, and we still catch up). So yeah, we remain very good friends,” she added.
The host also noted that the “Just a Stranger” star is one of the “most good looking young actors in the country today,” “smart,” and “family-oriented” to which Versoza agreed.
“He’s smart, and very siguro humble din. Hindi ko masasabi na humble (I can’t say he’s humble),” she said in jest before laughing. “Very level-headed.”

The Miss International 2016 titleholder was also asked if she ever remained in contact with Cuenca after their breakup. Versoza said she hasn’t spoken with him in a while.
“No, I know it’s been a long time pero siguro, only in time. Time will tell kung we’re able to already see each other in a [friendly] setting. Ayoko siyang pilitin pero darating ang panahon where we’ll meet each other and maybe, who knows? Time will only tell,” she replied.
(No, I know it’s been a long time but maybe, only in time. Time will tell if we would be able to already see each other in a friendly setting. I don’t want to force things to happen but time will come where we’ll meet each other again. And maybe, who knows? Time will only tell.)
Versoza was in a relationship with Cuenca for three years. They called it quits in April 2022. The ex-partners, however, did not state the reason for their break-up.
A month after their separation, the actress revealed in an interview that she did not foresee her romance with the “Los Bastardos” star to turn out the way it did, saying they really loved each other.
