“I CAN’T say that we’re officially (back with each other), ang tanda na namin to rely on labels, so really, I just think moving where God thinks I should,” pahayag ni Denise Laurel tungkol sa balitang nagkabalikan sila ng ‘ex-boyfriend’ niyang basketball player na si Sol Mercado ng Ginebra San Miguel.
Matatandaang ikakasal na sana ngayong taon sina Denise at Sol, after three years na pagiging magkarelasyon, pero biglang na-call-off ang engagement nila noong Oktubre 2016 pagkatapos mag-champion ang koponan ng huli sa PBA.
Walang ibinigay na dahilan ang dalawa kung bakit sila naghiwalay.
Pero nakikitang lumalabas-labas uli sina Denise at Sol nitong mga nakaraang buwan kaya natanong ang isa sa cast ng The Better Half kung officially on na uli sila lalo’t gustung-gusto si Sol ng nag-iisang anak ni Denise na si Alejandro.
“We always remained in contact naman so, it was just the gravity of contact, there was a time that it was just very minimum, but people grow from different levels of communication,” sabi ng aktres.
Matutuloy na ba ang naudlot na kasal nila?
“I can’t even answer if were officially together, so how can I answer if we’ll gonna get married? But if that’s God wants for us, then that’s fine with me. In my heart, I’m just going where God puts me.
“Kasi before when you’re younger, you’ll always say, ‘this is my plan, this is what I’m gonna do, this is how will gonna do it, by this age this is what I wanna do or accomplish it’ but God will slowly teach you, ‘hey it’s not about what you want, it’s about what I want!’” paliwanag ni Denise.
Nagkaroon ba sila ng ibang karelasyon habang hiwalay sila?
“Ay, ‘no naman,” napangiting sagot ng mahusay na aktres.
Wala raw siyang panahon na makipag-date o tumanggap ng manliligaw dahil naka-focus siya sa The Better Half at sa anak niya.
“I do this (taping) almost everyday and it’s very taxing and it’s very different kind of work,” aniya.
Grade One na ang anak ni Denise pero hindi niya binanggit ang eskuwelahan for safety reasons at excited na nagkuwento ang aktres na siya mismo ang nagbibihis sa anak at naghahatid sa school.
“And his uniform is pang-Grade 4, ha-ha-ha. I’m just so proud of him like he got his haircut the other day and when I saw him, oh my God, he’s a big boy. So, today I ask him if he’s excited for school and he said ‘no!’ He doesn’t cry naman, eversince baby siya, newborn, he doesn’t cry. So if he cries, there’s something wrong,” kuwento ng aktres.
