'Super na-demonize kami pareho:' Paolo Contis on 'quiet relationship' with Yen Santos

Published Apr 27, 2023 09:01 am
In a rare instance, Kapuso actor Paolo Contis opened up about his romance with sexy actress Yen Santos. In an interview with GMA reporters Nelson Canlas and Aubrey Carampel, the former child star said: “I guess being in a quiet relationship, feeling ko mas may advantage."

"Walang comparison. Again, people don’t know what happens behind closed doors. So kung ano man ‘yung nakita ko dati, iba rin ‘yung mga nakikita ko ngayon. Sa amin, it works because we’re both quiet with our personal lives,” he stressed, seemingly referring to his failed relationship with his previous partner, actress LJ Reyes. “It’s sad to say na super na-demonize kami pareho in terms of, parang super laki. Katulad nga ng sinabi mo pagdating mo kanina ‘Oh! The world’s hatest man!’ Natuto na ako. And aminin naman natin, there is too much hate for me to postings and parang sa akin, so what? As long as quiet ‘yung sa aming dalawa." Recall that it was in 2021 when Paolo and LJ made headlines after their publicized breakup. Then, Yen's name was dragged as the alleged third party. But Paolo reiterated that he and Yen were just "friends" then. Meanwhile, Paolo was still mum when asked why he and LJ parted ways after being together for six years. “Para sa akin I think it’s too personal... Maraming factors kung bakit napunta doon sa state nung naghiwalay kami. But I have admitted that I have made mistakes. Pero marami pang hindi alam ang tao about the whole picture,” he reiterated.

He said that he is waiting for the "right time" and the "go signal" that he can. "But I am trying to contact through her lawyer.”
