Tom Rodriguez said he is ready to love again as he revealed he is courting a new girl, two years after his highly publicized breakup with former wife Carla Abellana.
During his interview on “24 Oras” on Thursday, Feb. 29, Rodriguez shared that he is currently dating someone and affirmed his readiness for love the second time around.
“Yeah, I am now. In fact, I am seeing someone,” he said. “Once I was ready, it came at the right time. At that point, I thought it would never happen again.”
The “My Husband’s Lover” actor underscored that he wants to keep the identity of the girl he’s seeing private for now.
“Magdadamot ako yata. Like what I said, I really want to keep it to myself. But like I said, I’ll live my life like how it is. So, eventually siguro everyone would—what they see is what they get. But for now, it’s my own now,” he remarked.
Rodriguez said that he is not keen on seeing his ex-wife again even if Abellana said in a past interview that it would be okay for her if ever their paths cross again.
“For me, honestly, I don’t think it matters to me much. We have our own paths and our own lives now and I wish her well,” said the actor.
The Kapuso actor said that during his two-year stay in the US following his split from Abellana, he developed greater faith in the Lord and discovered the importance of living a simple life.
“Mas simple lahat ng bagay. Relish the simple things, kung ano ang para sa’yo, mapupunta sa’yo na hindi mo kailangan ‘kailangan ganito, kailangan ’yan,’ trying to control life. Learn to just resign yourself, resign yourself to the Lord and He always provides and every step of the way na parang magkaka-anxiety ka. Kasi tinatakot mo ‘yung sarili mo. You’re living out of fear, out of anxiety. Instead of living out of love, joy, hope. Kapag dun ka pala, everything just falls into place,” he explained.
Rodriguez recently returned to show biz via a guest appearance in “All Out Sundays.” He also created a new Instagram account after taking a hiatus from social media due to his split from the actress.
