Pops Fernandez admits now that she and Jomari Yllana had a misunderstanding. “I think that’s how the rumor that we broke up started,” she says at the “Divas 4 Divas” presscon. “It’s the first time such thing happened since we became on kasi hindi kami talaga nagkakaroon ng away. But don’t ask me na lang what started it. Secret na lang namin ‘yun, puwede? It wasn’t really that bad naman, kaya lang very first ngang nagkaroon ng di pagkakaintindihan kaya siguro some people thought it’s that serious. That happened on Sept. 15, o see, tandang-tanda ko pa ang date, and after a few days, we communicated and nagkaayos din kami agad. But when we kissed and made up, I realized, exciting pala. So ngayong alam ko na, I’ll just keep doing making tampo all the time,” she laughs.

Were they really on the verge of calling it quits for good? Who gave in first? “Let’s just say that I realized I didn’t give him the chance to explain himself well. Noong mag-usap naman kami, we were both calm. No one raised his or her voice. Malumanay lang kasi we have cooled off at hindi na kasing affected like before. We just became more honest with each other at naayos naman ang problema and we started dating again after that. ”

Is it true Gabby Concepcion is the cause of their fight? “Naku, hindi. Huwag na isali si Gabby rito, please. Kawawa naman ‘yung tao. Actually, ako’ng unang nang-away at hindi si Jom. Kaya wala talagang kinalaman si Gabby rito. ”

She admits Jom is easy to get along with. “Generally, masaya naman kami at magaan ang samahan namin. But that’s not enough reason para pakasal na kami, ‘no? We’re just enjoying each other’s company right now and we know how to give and take. Bigayan lang. Kung saan ito hahantong later, only time will tell. ”

TONI ADMITS ATTRACTION TO VHONG

Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga’s first teamup, “D’Anothers”, was a big hit. How come it took three years before they’re paired again in “My Only U”? “Una, nalinya kasi si Toni kay Sam Milby,” says Vhong. “Tapos, hindi rin magtugma ang schedules namin kasi lagi siyang nagho-host ng PBB. Now, bumalik din siya sa akin. ”

“Si Vhong talaga ang first guy na naka-close ko sa showbiz,” says Toni. “Nang magkasama kami sa ‘Wazzup Wazzup’. ”

How come they never became on? “Si Vhong kasi, hindi marunong manligaw. ”

“Masyado pa kasing bagets si Toni nang una kaming magkasama at lagi niyang ka-tabi ang parents niya, left and right. Crush ko talaga siya pero mahirap din yung katrabaho mo, tapos on kayo, nagka-kaproblema lang sa set. ”

If she’s not committed to Director Paul Soriano, would Toni fall for Vhong? “Oo. Vhong is lovable at kahit sinong babae mai-in love sa kanya. Iba kasi ang sense of humor niya. Alam niya kilitiin ang puso mo. Sweet din siya. Sa set, he gave me a big bed I can use sa tapings at nagpapabili siya lagi ng food. ”

Is there pressure on their part since their film is Star Cinema’s next release after the John Lloyd-Sarah monster hit, “A Very Special Love,” also directed by Cathy Molina? “May pressure talaga kasi sobrang blockbuster ang su-sundan namin,” says Vhong. “We can’t promise na lalampasan namin ‘yun. Basta we just gave our best and we hope to entertain the audience. ”

What makes their tandem click? “May built in rapport kasi sila,” says Direk Cathy. “Pareho silang makulit in real life, nakakaaliw, may konting kilig na e-enhance na lang sa screen. That’s what I intend to capture on film in ‘My Only U’ where Vhong plays Toni’s landlord na na-in love sa kanya kahit may curse ang buhay ni Toni na mamamatay siya when she’s 25 years old. ”

I can’t take it kaya naging stalker niya ako, it’s good my friend Giselle, played by Riza Santos, stopped me and takes me to a go-see at a fashion magazine.
