Jericho Rosales said that it’s “too early” for him to find new love this year, amid rumors that he is allegedly wooing Kathryn Bernardo.
Reports about Rosales courting Bernardo swirled after showbiz insider Ogie Diaz claimed on his vlog last April 14, that the actor and Kapuso actor Alden Richards are trying to win Bernardo’s heart, citing a source from the actress’ camp.
Rosales shot down the rumors in an interview by MJ Felipe on TV Patrol when he was asked if “love is part of [his goals in] 2024,” to which the actor said “no,” seemingly not aware of reports linking him to Bernardo.
“What rumors? I don’t read social media. I mean, sometimes, I go like that. No, I’d rather not. I don’t wanna pollute my mind,” he said.
Felipe then asked Rosales again if “finding new love” is part of his 2024 plans, which led the latter to respond with: “It’s too early for that.”
Rosales and Bernardo first sparked dating speculations in January when they were spotted out on a night jog by fans in a sports complex in Marikina.
The actor has since been seen in some of the “A Very Good Girl” actress’ parties.
On reuniting with Kristine Hermosa
Rosales, who’s set to star in a new Dreamscape Entertainment-helmed series, also said in the report that he hopes to do a project with former onscreen partner Kristine Hermosa.
“Ohmigod. I’ve been asking that for the longest time pero (but) it’s up to Kristine. No pressure and stuff. That’s something that’s always there, but you wanna respect if Kristine doesn’t want to work anymore or something,” he said.
Hermosa recently announced that she is pregnant with her sixth child with husband Oyo Sotto, whom she married in January 2011.
Meanwhile, Rosales confirmed earlier this year that he is now separated from his wife, model and fashion personality Kim Jones, since 2019. They tied the knot in May 2014.
