KC Concepcion admits dating foreigner

MANILA – Months after her much-publicized breakup with Paulo Avelino, KC Concepcion admitted that she is back in the dating scene.

Speaking on “Kris TV” which she co-hosted on Monday morning, Concepcion revealed that she is now seeing a non-showbiz guy but refused to disclose details about him.

The actress, however, revealed that the guy is not a Filipino.

“Yes, I’m dating. Quietly lang. European. Ayaw kong maudlot. Next [guesting na lang],” she said. “He’s European. He lives in the Middle East, pero [back and forth siya].”

After her very public relationships in the past, Concepcion explained that she now prefers a non-showbiz guy.

“Tumingin sa akin si Erich (Gonzales) kanina, sabi niya, ‘Non-showbiz na lang, maganda no?’ Sabi ko oo, for me. Kasi I’ve dated na my leading men, I’ve done that whole thing na. Tinutuluy-tuloy ko, after ng shoot na nagiging kami. So sabi ko na-experience ko na 'yung dating leading men, so maganda 'yung [non-showbiz],” she said.

Asked if they are exclusively dating, she said: “I’m dating but not exclusively kasi bago pa lang. Ayaw ko pangunahan.”

Concepcion also revealed that the guy is more than five years older than her.

“He’s hard-working and older… Pero wala din naman sa age. It’s yung pagkatao talaga. Kaya nga I don’t want na porke’t may dine-date, kami na agad. You never know. You have to really give it time. Sabi nila, eight months to one year tapos saka mo pa lang makikita ang totoong kulay ng tao,” she said.

Paulo finally admits relationship with KC

MANILA – For the first time, Paulo Avelino admitted that he had a relationship with KC Concepcion.

The “Bridges of Love” actor made the revelation during his appearance on “The Buzz” on Sunday.

During the show’s killer question segment, host Boy Abunda put Avelino on the hot seat and asked him directly if he was ever in a relationship with Concepcion.

Avelino initially hesitated to answer the question and became evasive. “KC and I are friends and I’ll always be there for her whenever she needs me,” he said.

Host Kris Aquino, however, noted that Avelino did not directly answer Abunda’s question, urging him to just reply with a “yes” or “no.”

Cornered, Avelino then responded: “Yes.”

However, the actor did not provide further details, especially on reports that he and Concepcion have broken up.

In one of his recent interviews, Avelino was quoted as saying he and Concepcion did not break up because “hindi naman siguro nagbi-break ang magkaibigan.”

Avelino also said he and Concepcion have different priorities as of the moment.

Meanwhile, Avelino shrugged off rumors linking him to actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith.

Last week, a photo of them in what seems to be a dinner date was sent to “The Buzz.” This triggered rumors romantically linking the two of them.

On “The Buzz” on Sunday, Avelino emphasized that she and Curtis-Smith are just friends.

“Jasmine and I are friends. We have a film coming out with Isabelle Daza. I just casually have dinner with friends, with co-workers. That’s it,” he said.

MANILA – KC Concepcion revealed that it was Paulo Avelino who looked after her day in and day out while she was confined in the hospital due to dengue.

In an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Concepcion shared how much she appreciates Avelino’s efforts, noting that the Kapamilya actor has been very consistent in showing that he truly cares for her.

“Alam mo 'yang si Paulo, kahit kapag nakikita mo siyang rumarampa na ang lakas ng dating, he’s very sweet, he’s very thoughtful. Nung nasa hospital ako, siya talaga 'yung nag-alaga every night and day. 'Yun ang sincerity na hindi mo talaga mafe-fake,” she said.

Last week, Concepcion shared a video clip where she is could be seen singing Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” while Avelino was playing the guitar.


According to the “Ikaw Lamang” actress, she shared the video because he wanted the people to know how sweet Avelino is.

“Kasi when you’re sick, kapag naospital ka, parang ang lungkot. Parang lahat ng tao hindi alam kung bibisitahin ka or hindi. Siya, no questions asked. Talagang nandun siya,” she said.

“Ayaw ko na mag-deny. Pero hindi naman pag-amin ito. Ang sa akin, artista so kapag ganun, celebrity or nakikita ka sa TV, hindi ka pwedeng humingi ng privacy lagi. Nag-decide akong i-share kasi napaka-sweet ni Pau,” she added.

But what is it that’s stopping the two of them to be together?

“Honestly, we have our ups and downs. We are very, very, very close. I can really say isa siya sa mga best friends ko. Not to say na hanggang doon lang pero maganda 'yung friendship namin. It’s very real, genuine. Wala naman kaming project together. We are very, very good friends,” she said.

Despite this, Concepcion said she wants to make sure that her next relationship would already be the one for keeps.

“Pero siguro nandun din 'yung siyempre may anak na siya. Siyempre ako ayaw ko din mag-commit sa isang tao na—kasi dapat tuluy-tuloy na 'yun. Hindi pa namin napag-uusapan exactly kung ano 'yung meron kami pero you’re right, whatever we have now, we are happy that way,” she said.

KC confirms dating Paulo Avelino again

MANILA - Actress KC Concepcion admitted that she is again dating Paulo Avelino amid speculations about the real score between the two.

In an interview with Push during her contract signing with ABS-CBN, the 29-year-old said that she is willing to try again with Avelino, but added that her tight schedule may play a part.

"Medyo nagmamakaawa ako na sana intindihin din ako kung may times na parang mag-aadjust pa ako sa schedule," she said.

"Sana naman mahanapan ng way na parang makapag-date pa din or makapag-spend ng time with you know, kung sinong makakapagpa-happy sa iyo," she added.

Last month, the two were spotted in Baguio together after Concepcion returned to the country from New York. Avelino earlier cited that the distance was one of the factors affecting their "relationship."

"Yun naman yung maganda when you’re able to spend time para makilala mo din yung tao 'di ba?" Concepcion asked, referring to the actor.

"Para makilala namin yung isa't isa. 'Yun ang pinaka-importante sa lahat, 'yung malaman mo kung paano ba talaga ang isang tao. Basta we're okay. 'Yun lang ang masasabi ko siguro. Okay kami," she said.

Concepcion also revealed that the Baguio trip was planned by Avelino, and said that she appreciates the "efforts" being made by the actor.

"Gusto kong maramdaman lang na normal ako ganun. Na hindi ako natatakot na maglakad sa streets of Manila. And napag-usapan lang namin one time na nagplano siya na parampahin ako sa Session Road," she said.

"Kinabahan ako actually kasi first time ko actually na wala talagang maraming kasama. Pero 'yun lang, we're okay. Sa time namin ngayon in our lives important yung work," she reiterated.

Concepcion is set to feature in the ongoing television series "Ikaw Lamang," while Avelino is currently cast as one of the major characters in ABS-CBN's newest primetime soap "Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon."

"Passion niya 'yung work. Passion ko rin 'yung work. Kaya rin kami magkasundo. We're happy for each other and we're okay," she explained.

Earlier in the year, Avelino said on national television that his special relationship with Concepcion hasn't taken off but is definitely not yet over.

Avelino first admitted to dating Concepcion in November last year, weeks after he confirmed his separation from former girlfriend, actress LJ Reyes, with whom he has a son.

KC, Paulo spotted together in Baguio

MANILA – Actress KC Concepcion continued to be evasive about the real score between her and Paulo Avelino even after a picture of them together in Baguio City last week made the rounds online.

Last Friday, “The Buzz” caught up with the actress, who just came from a meeting of her upcoming show which will soon be aired on ABS-CBN.

Still excited about her new project, Concepcion generously granted “The Buzz” an interview where she talked about her upcoming show.

“I am proud to say that yes, malapit niyo na akong makita sa ABS-CBN and meron akong future show na tinatrabaho ngayon,” she said.

Concepcion, however, was not able to escape questions about her love life when asked if her new project is the sole reason why she returned to the Philippines.

“For now kasi work ang priority ko. Work hard, play hard,” she said.

Concepcion has been staying in New York City where she is taking up an acting course. The long distance was one of the factors cited by Avelino in a past interview affecting their “relationship.”

“Kasi excited ako sa bago kong show. Parang kailangan huminahon muna siya (her love life) and magfo-focus muna ako ulit sa show na gagawin ko,” she said.

Two weeks ago, Avelino said on national television that his special relationship with Concepcion hasn’t taken off but is definitely not yet over.
