After a controversial breakup with actor Jake Cuenca last year, beauty queen Kylie Verzosa confirmed to the press that she is currently in a *happy, private” relationship.
“I’m so happy. I’m so happy. Honestly, I want to keep it private this time, so it’s a private relationship, and it’s so much more peaceful,” said Verzosa.
According to the actress, her new beau is a foreigner and not in show biz. When asked when she is ready to make the relationship public and show the world who is the lucky guy, the actress said not now.
“I don’t know. Siguro ano, when I want to show it, I will. But right now, I’m so happy,” she said.
Verzosa’s last boyfriend, Cuenca, called it quits in 2022, and during the appearance of the Miss International 2016 on Boy Abunda’s YouTube channel on Jan. 1, she said her split with the actor was not due to a failed relationship.
“I wouldn’t want to call it ‘It didn’t work out,’ no. Maybe it ended. I hear from people that it’s a failed relationship, that it didn’t work out, but hindi ko po siya kino-consider na ganoon,” said Verzosa.
“We both learned from the relationship; we both benefited from the relationship. I think it’s a good relationship. We became better people. I believe that who we are today is a contribution of that relationship,” added the beauty queen.

Meanwhile, in March, the 31-year-old actress revealed on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” that she dated Marco Gumabao before getting into a relationship with Cuenca.
“Siguro, a long time before Jake, a long way before Jake, mga two years. We tried. We tried it out, but bata pa kami noon eh,” said Verzosa.
“But we remained very good friends. Happy ako sa lahat ng mga pinag-daanan niya sa buhay niya. I’ve seen him (Gumabao) grow as an actor and as a person. Nagka-catch up pa rin kami. So yeah, we remain very good friends,” she added.
Verzosa will star in the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) movie “Penduko.” This marks her second participation in the festival.
