Jake Cuenca on Melissa Ricks and Jolo Revilla: 'That's their thing'

Fresh from his one-week Italy tour, Jake Cuenca was not able to escape the reporters at the ABS-CBN Trade Launch held last Thursday, June 10. He was bombarded with questions about his supposed break-up with Melissa Ricks. Jake denied the rumors saying there's no break-up at all because there was no relationship in the first place. He shared though that he and Melissa are keeping a strong friendship until now. "Maayos naman kami ni Mel. Siyempre busy tulad naman ng sinasabi ko noon, busy siya, now she has a new show and I have a new show as well. Masaya kami. Nung nasa Italy ako namalita naman ako sa kanya through text. Wala naman masama sa text. Basta sa amin magkaibigan kami and with that friendship I am happy. Never naman naming sinabi na naging kami, tsaka yun naman po ang totoo magkaibigan lang po kami," Jake explained.

One of the theories in Jake and Melissa's rumored break-up is Jolo Revilla, who was also being linked to the actress since they were paired in Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla Presents Pepeng Agimat. Now, Jolo and Melissa are working together for ABS-CBN's upcoming soap, Noah. Jake admits that he has heard of the reports and could not be any happier for the two. "Actually, napanood ko na yan sa YouTube, siyempre ako masaya ako maraming trabaho, she has a lot of work, Jolo has work also, he has Agimat and Noah, lahat kami masaya lahat kami blessed. Congratulations to the both of them, I wish them na sana maging successful at sana maging masaya ang mga tapings nila. If there are issues about Jolo and Melissa, sila na makakasagot nun."

Jake also adds that he and Jolo are good friends so there is nothing to be bitter about despite the rumors. He admitted though that they never talk about Melissa when they are together. "Siyempre medyo awkward naman yun. I just find it awkward to talk about her kung magkasama kaming dalawa pero wala kaming problema ni Jolo. Maayos kami." It was also reported that Melissa recently introduced Jolo to her parents and family. When asked about how he feels about it, Jake said, "It's good for them. That's their thing. Wala naman na akong masasabi wala na akong maidadagdag diyan. Hindi ako sasagot ng kahit ano tungkol sa kanilang dalawa."
