After a successful love team that spawned a strong fandom, McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson called it quits last year. Fans were saddened about the news, but it seems like they have moved on with their separate lives. De Leon told reporters G! Movie blogcon that he’s happy now because he has work.
He said, “Dumadating nga sa point na na-mi-miss ko din yung dati, yung may love team. Dati lahat ng galaw mo nakikita ng mga fans. Ngayon medyo still lang, aminado naman ako na medyo ganun lang. Steady lang. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, ‘Dati extra extra lang ako, bakit ako hahangad pa ng mas mataas?’ Para sa akin, may mga project lang ako na mapanuod lang ng pamilya ko okay na ako. Hindi naman kailangan na maging sikat na sikat.“
[“There comes a point when I miss having a love team. Fans saw everything we did. I admit that it’s a bit still now. Just steady. I told myself, ‘I used to be an extra, why should I hope for more?’ For me, I’m okay with having projects that my family can watch. I don’t need to be super famous.”]
Joson is also busy with work and one thing more, a blossoming romance with Jameson Blake, de Leon’s co-member in the group Hashtags. Blake and de Leon are also co-stars in the movie G!
De Leon admitted that he was surprised when he heard the news. “Ako siguro masaya at malungkot. Malungkot kasi siguro nasanay ako na kasama palagi ayun eh. Masaya kasi magiging masaya siya.”
[“I was both happy and sad. Sad because I got to used to being around her so much. I’m also happy because because’s happy.”]
However, he clarified that he has no hard feelings. He said, “Yung taong mapupunta sa kanya mabait at aalagaan siya at kilala ko. Ba’t ka magagalit sa dalawang taong masaya?“
[“I know the person she’ll be with and I know he will take care of her. Why would I be mad at people who are happy?”]
De Leon added that he has a good relationship with Blake. “Walang probema sa akin. Actually gusto ko sabihin na itong movie na ito hindi nakasira, lalong nakabuo sa amin. Kumbaga lalong tumibay na okay kami.“
[“There’s no problem. Actually, this movie didn’t ruin our friendship, it made it even better. Our friendship got stronger.”]
