Diego Loyzaga revealed he considers actress Sofia Andres as his “TOTGA,” or “the one that got away,” further admitting he committed a “really big mistake” when they were still together.
The actor said this in response to a “Truth or Dare” question from actress Aiko Melendez, as seen in an interview vlog on the latter’s YouTube channel on Thursday, Feb. 29.
“Barbie Imperial, Franki Russell, Sofia Andres, Julia Montes—sino sa kanila ang matuturing mong the one that got away?” Melendez asked, to which he swiftly answered, “Sofia Andres.”
“Kasi ang laki talaga ng pagkakamali ko do’n kay Sofia. I wish it didn’t happen,” he explained. “I’m very open naman about it, that I made a really big mistake. I was a kid; I was 20 or 21 years old.”
While Loyzaga opted not to expound on the mistake he made, he underscored that he’s happy for Andres because she is living the life she dreamt of when she was younger.
“I’m so proud. I’m so happy for her. I remember when we were together pa, the things that she has now, ‘yun ‘yung mga binabanggit niya nung time na ‘yon na sana magkaroon siya, and she has everything now,” he said.
When asked if the two of them have seen each other after they called it quits, Loyzaga said they never had the chance.
“I remember the last time I saw her, I went to where she was and I tried to seek closure. This was a long time ago,” he added.
Loyzaga and Andres were former onscreen partners. One of the projects in which they starred together was the 2017 TV series “Pusong Ligaw.”
Andres is now in a relationship with her non-showbiz boyfriend Daniel Miranda, with whom she shares her daughter Zoe.
On the other hand, Loyzaga, who earlier said he’s “single” as of the moment, has a daughter named Hailey with yoga teacher Alexis Suapengco. He clarified that while their relationship has no label, he and Suapengco are on good terms.
