Pinabulaanan ni Kiko Estrada ang balitang pinagsabay bilang kasintahan sina Devon Seron at Heaven Peralejo. Tumagal ng dalawang taon ang relasyon nina Kiko at Devon bago pa tuluyang nagkahiwalay noong Pebrebo. Ngayong buwan naman inamin sa publiko nina Kiko at Heaven ang tungkol sa kanilang relasyon. “Me and Devon broke up on Valentine’s Day 2021. Me and Heaven, we were still not together at that point. We were just talking and trying to get to know each other. But there was no overlapping. I was hurt too. I didn’t want to leave her, but the situation caused it. Hindi ko naman siguro kasalanan na I moved on,” pagtatapat ni Kiko.
Nagkatrabaho sa teleseryeng Bagong Umaga sina Kiko at Heaven at hindi raw inakala ng aktor na magkakamabutihan sila ng dalaga. “Through the hardship, through the issue, we became closer. I am not a cheater, (Heaven’s) not a third party. There’s nothing like that, that happened. Kasi kung totoo, tatanggapin ko. I mean, we have to live with it, ‘di ba? Because it’s the truth and the truth will set you free. But this is not the truth,” paglilinaw ng binata.
Ayon kay Kiko ay masakit para sa kanila ni Heaven ang mga paratang ng tao sa kanila. Sana ay hayaan na lamang daw na maging masaya sila bilang magkasintahan. “Tao rin kami. Masakit, sometimes when you hear those things especially when it’s not true. The person I love is really hurt. It sucks kasi imbes na masaya kayo, imbes na masaya siya, I can’t give that to her,” pagtatapos ng aktor.
Ian: ‘Don’t pursue happiness, aim for meaningfulness!’
Bilang isang ama ay mahalaga para kay Ian Veneracion ang kapakanan ng kanyang tatlong anak. Pinapahalagahan ng aktor ang lahat ng mga ginagawa o interes ng mga anak. “I think it’s so important to give them confidence. Telling a kid, ‘Good job!’ is so important. Minsan minamaliit natin ‘yung effect niyan sa buong buhay nila. Pero napakalaking epekto no’n, because it’s self-image. Your personality, your moods, your emotions, everything is hinged upon how you perceived yourself, your self-image. So giving confidence to kids and encouraging them, that helps their self-image and self-respect and turns them into little heroes instead of the little victims,” makahulugang pahayag ni Ian.
Hinihikayat din ng aktor ang iba na gawin din ang katulad ng istilo niya bilang haligi ng tahanan. “Don’t pursue happiness. For me, personally, happiness is overrated. It’s like a sugar rush, it’s not sustainable. Aim for meaningfulness. If you’re doing something meaningful, for example, taking care of a sick person. It may not be happy, but it’s meaningful. Happiness is just a by-product of that. It’s not a goal. If you make it a goal it’s hard to find it. Go for the meaningfulness and happiness happens automatically,” paglalahad ng aktor.
