NALI-LINK ngayon si Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo sa Kapamilya actor na si Jake Cuenca matapos silang makitang magkasama sa isang restaurant sa Bonifacio Global City sa Taguig.
Hindi man diretsahang nagbanggit ng pangalan ngunit kinumpirma ni Rabiya na may nagpapasaya sa kanya ngayon, matapos ang breakup nila ng kanyang ex-boyfriend, ang Kapuso actor na si Jeric Gonzales.
Sa isang panayam sina ni Rabiya na,“Parang tumitibok naman siya in general. Pero I would say na I’m in a happy place, very, very happy. I’m so grateful sa lahat ng lessons from the past.
“It made me realize na kung ano man yung mga heartaches or yung mga bad na nangyari sa ‘yo in the past, it’s gonna get better. Sasaya ka ulit.
“Kasi nasa process pa lang ng kailangan mo talagang kilalanin at kailangan mo tingnan if compatible ba kayo or not.
“Yung compatibility, loyalty, even love, it is tested with time so I need to wait for it, walang minamadali.”
Dagdag pa niya, “Ine-enjoy ko lang yung process pero I think yung paglagay ng label, I think nasa babae din yan, nasa akin yung ball game ngayon.
“Hawak ko yung bola ngayon. I just want to take things slow. I think we have this common understanding na we want to know each other.”
Inamin din niya na nasa proseso pa siya ng pagmu-move on mula sa failed relationship, “You have to heal muna. Minsan kasi yung thinking natin na okay after a heartache, bago na naman.
“It doesn’t work. You need to do all the self-work, inner work. You need to process the breakup, give some time para pag dumating na yung potential mabibigay mo yung best mo,” pahayag pa ni Rabiya.

WALANG pagtutol ang actress-singer na si Sheryl Cruz na mag-showbiz ang kanyang anak na si Ashley Nicole o Nicole Sonora bilang kanyang screen name, kaya pinayagan niya ito.
Nang nag-guest ang mag-ina sa “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” nitong Miyerkules, March 26, ibinahagi ni Nicole kung bakit siya nagdesisyon na rin siyang sumabak sa pag-aartista.
Ayon sa anak ni Sheryl, hilig na talaga niya ang mag-arte mula pa noong bata siya.
“Honestly, acting, story and creation, since preschool po I’ve always always wanted to be an actor,” kuwento ng 24-anyos na si Nicole, na grumaduate bilang summa cum laude mula sa San Francisco State University noong 2023,
“I didn’t think it would be my career path at first, not until towards the end of college, when a professor told me, ‘You have potential. You should try to enhance it,” dagdag pa niya.
“So since then, parang namulat ako na ah parang kaya pala ‘to. Kasi that person who is saying it is somebody na sa America pa ‘to.
“So they don’t know, wala silang paki sa family ko kasi walang bias so parang ‘Ah okay. If you see something in me, then maybe I can trust in myself more,’” saad pa niya.
Pahayag naman ni Sheryl, “At first, like any other parent, showbiz is very hard. But I cannot take that away from her because it’s in her blood,” sabi ni Sheryl.
“I know she will have something to fall back on because tapos naman na siya ng kaniyang pag-aaral.
“But of course hindi ko pwede sa kanyang ipagkait itong passion to pursue what is in her blood which is acting, and the love of singing and creation because she’s also a talented writer,” pahayag pa ni Sheryl.
“I wish you well in your showbiz endeavors and please don’t lose your moral compass.
“I want her to have the time of her life here in show business. For whatever happens, if it’s a roller coaster ride of emotions, then I just want her to enjoy the ride and know herself better than anyone else,” mensahe pa niya kay Nicole.
