Joshua Garcia appeared to not deny his blooming romance with Filipino-French athlete Emilienne Vigier, even as he has yet to clarify the status of their relationship.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the mediacon for his upcoming film “Fruitcake,” Garcia didn’t deny that there’s something going on between him and Vigier, although he stressed that he wants to protect their privacy.
“About that, okay, para ma-klaro na lahat and wala na ring maitanong ang lahat, baka sabihin kasi nila, dine-deny ko ‘yung babae, ‘diba (About that, okay, just so things will be clear and no one can ask about this anymore, people might say I’m denying the girl, right)?” he said, without mentioning Vigier’s name.
“Hindi ko siya dine-deny. It’s just that ako and her decided not to share it to everyone kasi ‘yung relationship na ‘yan, eh kami lang naman ‘yung parte du’n,” he further added. (I’m not denying her. It’s just that she and I decided not to share it to everyone because in that relationship, we alone are the parties involved.)
Garcia then explained that he wanted to keep his apparent romance with Vigier private, saying that his being vocal in previous relationships didn’t sit well.
“Galing na kasi ako sa iba’t ibang klase ng relationships and everytime na sine-share ko siya sa lahat, parang nagkakagulo, nagiging shaky ‘yung relationship eh,” he said. “Hangga’t maaari kasi, sa panahon ngayon, mas okay kung private na lang tayo.”
(I had been in different relationships, and I had the tendency to be vocal about them, but they ended up being shaky. As much as possible, in this day and age, it’s okay to be private instead.)
When asked how he was in love, the actor briefly stated that he’s in love “every day.”
Garcia and Vigier previously sparked dating rumors after eagle-eyed netizens noticed the similarities in the photos they shared on their respective Instagram accounts last July.
The Filipino-French athlete further sparked romance speculations after sharing a photo of the “Unbreak My Heart” star’s cover shoot a month later. Despite this, she has yet to speak up about the real score between them. /ra
