This 2019, Julie Anne San Jose, who has just confirmed that she and Benjamin Alves are no longer a couple, wants to “focus on myself.”

“I would like to work on bettering my craft and myself … I want to put out more music,” the singer-actress told reporters at a recent press conference for her coming concert series, “The Sweetheart and the Balladeer: Fun Night Only.” “It’s a brand-new start—new friendships, new relationships, new blessings and opportunities.”

The 24-year-old singer-actress admitted that she has been single since late last year, but that she’s doing “OK.” Teased if people could expect more “hugot” from her performances in the future, she said, “Of course!”

Is she hoping to find a new love this year? “I don’t think I’m ready for that,” said the Kapuso talent, who stressed that there’s no deeper meaning to her decision to cut her hair short.

“No, I just woke up one day and felt like cutting it. Wala lang. It just feels lighter,” she said. —ALLAN POLICARPIO
