Is love sweeter the second time around for TV host-actress Mickey Ferriols?

Mickey has reportedly found a new love -- well, not exactly new since the guy is her childhood sweetheart.

According to reports, a common female friend hooked up Mickey with her ex (a non-showbiz guy) three months ago. This female friend said that she saw Mickey’s childhood sweetheart near the area and so set up a date for the two which led to a second-time romance.

There is no impediment to Mickey’s blooming lovelife. She and comedian Archie Alemania have been separated for four months now. The separation was done amicably, although they would not reveal what caused it. They have a four-year-old son, Marcus Brent.

Talks are ripe that Archie did not know of Mickey’s new boyfriend until he discovered a text message he sent to her. Archie is said to be happy for Mickey and even ribs the actress about her new romance.

Mickey is in the cast of “Lovers in Paris” starring KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual.
