Ruffa Gutierrez revealed during her first-ever appearance on GMA’s “Showbiz Central” that her ex-husband Yilmaz Bektas has neither confirmed nor denied his rumored upcoming wedding.

“Wala pa siyang sinasabi sa’kin kung totoo or hindi. Ang sabi niya just like the rest of the world, maghintay ka ng June. Ang taray niya ha,” the ex-“The Buzz” host said.

The Turkish businessman, whom Ruffa wedded in 2003, is said to be taking his second chance in marriage with 2006 Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza on June at Sardinia Island.

“[He told me] ‘Don’t ask me about my personal life coz I’ve never asked you about your personal life.’ Oo nga naman,” the Miss World 1993 First Princess said.

The TV host and actress enthused that she is now good friends with her husband, from whom she had a controversial separation back in 2007.

“We have a good relationship as parents to our kids. Ayokong mag-away kami, nase-stress ako!” she blurted.

Yilmaz is reportedly visiting the country next month, and Ruffa said it will be an opportune time for him to catch up with their daughters, Lorin and Venice.

“If he does come, may mga plano kami. One of the most important things is masamahan niya ‘yung mga bata ‘cause matagal na silang hindi nagkikita,” the new TV5 talent related.
