In an interview with Boy Abunda on February 10, Ashley revealed the real score between her and the actor.
“I think it’s obvious naman,” she confirmed upon being asked about their status. “Yes.”
Then, the Dormitoryo actress happily shared details about their blossoming relationship, such as how they first met and started getting to know each other.
โMga bata pa kami noon eh (We were still young back then). I think when he started signing a contract sa Sparkle but we started hanging out more last year. Tapos doon ko talaga siya nakilala talaga (Thatโs when I really got to know him).” she recalled, clarifying that she got to know the actor more after he broke up with Kyline Alcantara.
She added: โI think it started na parang there was a one night kasama ‘yung mga friends namin so doon ko siya nakilala. Then nagtuloy-tuloy na (when there was a night out with our friends, and thatโs where I met him. Then it just continued), and then he asked me out if we can have lunch or dinner together just to get to know each other. Then nagtuloy-tuloy na (it just went on from there).”
The 26-year-old actress has a three-year age gap with the TV host. However, she’s thankful that their maturity matched despite being older than him.
“I thought before hindi niya mamatch yung maturity ko (he wouldn’t match my maturity)… But heโs actually mature, parang in our relationship ako yung pabebe girl (I’m the one who acts cute and playful). He takes care of me. Ayun yung napatunayan niya (that’s what he proved) when we were going out,” she said.
When asked about her relationship with the actor’s parents, Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi, she shared that she has worked with them and found them very welcoming.
