Jasmine Curtis takes up ‘a whole lot of space’ in Sam life

MANILA, Philippines - Although they remain mum on the issue, there’s no denying Sam Concepcion is making sweet music with Kapatid actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith.

The two were seen arriving together at the Star Magic Ball on Saturday, September 7, which strengthened speculations that Sam and Jasmine are officially an item.

But why haven’t they talked about the status of their relationship in detail to the entertainment press?

According to the Kapamilya artist, they merely want to cut their personal lives from their showbiz lives.

“We just want to be able to put that line in between so that we can keep some things to ourselves,” Sam said during the press conference for Cosmopolitan Philippines’ Cosmo Men supplement recently.

Sam is one of 10 centerfolds of the mini-magazine, which comes with the September issue of the female magazine.

He added: “There’s a life bigger than showbiz. It’s our personal lives, and we’d like to keep that to ourselves.”

Sam elaborated, however, that Jasmine is very special to him.

“Jasmine takes up a whole lot of space when it comes to my personal life,” he said. “She is very special naman. I’ve always said that. She is very special to me.”

Darker, more daring

Having someone “special,” Sam said, is part of his growing up. The singer-actor admits his career was built on how he started in show business—as the young singer in the kiddie talent show “Little Big Star.” But little by little, Sam is hoping to change the perception that he’s still that young boy.

Posing for Cosmo Men—where he appears half-naked—is part of that change.

“It’s a huge thing, considering that I’ve been a youth icon for the longest time. Right now, it’s just really what I can show now and the new things that I can offer,” Sam said of his Cosmopolitan pictorial.

Another part of that change is his latest studio album, titled “Infinite,” which Sam described as “it’s more aggressive, darker, and more daring.”

“I have evolved na rin as a person. I’ve changed a whole lot since my ‘Little Big Star’ days. And it’s exciting for me. It’s exciting me to tap into the potential that I can still do. Right now, I’m just savoring every moment,” he said.
