MANILA, Philippines — Actress Ria Atayde denied rumors that she and actor Joshua Garcia are playing sweet music together.
In her interview with Cinema One’s “Pop Cinema,” Ria said she and Joshua are just laughing about it.
"We laughed about it. It's actually like something, 'Uy rumored boyfriend halika rito.' Like, I mean, we are friends," Ria said.
Ria said that she’s just comfortable with Joshua because the actor worked with her mother Sylvia Sanchez in an ABS-CBN teleserye.
"I am super super comfortable with him. Because nga he is my mom's grandson in 'The Greatest Love' and because of that he actually celebrated Christmas with us that year and we're close. Like we just don't post about each other or anything. Pero 'yun nga we're close because of that," Ria said.
"Things got busy pero we always keep in touch throughout the years. Then kasi we are also working together on 'Viral' so you know lot of reasons to hang out. And he also just recently started playing golf with the boys of my friend group. Now he is part of it as well. So it's really just that," she added.
