And so it is confirmed.

Controversial beauty surgeon Vicki Belo admits she and Hayden Kho are back in each other’s arms validating what everybody assumed all along.

In an interview for GMA 7 news Belo says, “[He’s] definitely back in my life.”

And no, she doesn’t even think they really separated.

“He [Kho] was never gone actually.”

The declaration ran contrary to a statement she made to the media December 2008 at the height of the “Hayden-Cam Scandal” wherein she boldly stated that their “love story” has “come to an end” vowing to keep her distance from Kho.

Doubts were raised, however, when she involved herself in the subsequent trial of the 29-year old beleaguered doctor's case.

She did acknowledge helping Kho acquire legal help and was present at almost every court hearing.

Defending her actions, Belo said she was just giving Kho “moral support as a friend.”

Yet, more than that, she was also frequently sighted with Kho out of the courtroom—at a resort in Batangas; in a club at The Fort; in a posh salon in Makati; and most recently, as part of the studio audience of the hit US reality show “Dancing with the Stars.”

Still, Belo was adamant that they hadn’t rekindled their romance. Belo even hinted that Kho needed to work long and hard to regain her trust.

"If ever kailangan niyang mag-court ng sobra... Kailangan [he will] prove himself again. I told him he's on probation kasi, ‘di ba, I don't trust him kaya kami nag-stop. Kasi every time I'm with him, kahit anong sabihin niya, hindi ako naniniwala. ‘Di ba, wala nang trust?”

Nowadays, however, it seems that Belo, 54 is singing a different tune.

Apparently, she has come to accept Kho —flaws and all, including what she herself hinted as the latter’s seeming immaturity.

“That’s the bad part about being with somebody young, hindi pa masyado ayos iyong [points at head],” she says laughing.

In any case, Belo promised to keep her relationship with Kho more hush-hush from now on.

“Being private is better. It [the relationship with Kho] is not the same as before… we are still working out so many factors.”
