A report of entertainment website Pep.ph said a photo of the two where they appeared to be sweet to each other went viral online in the past week.
Clarifying the matter, Cruz said: “Sanay na ako kasi siyempre pag may lumabas na pictures na ganyan, sasabihin agad girlfriend. Pero hindi, we’re just hanging out, we’re friends.”
Cruz said he met Schweighart through Dianne Medina, the girlfriend of his brother Rodjun.
“Malambing kasi ako sa mga friends ko. Kung kay Maja [Salvador] nga malambing ako, kay Shaina [Magdayao]. Kaya kong yakapin ang lahat. Sobrang dami kong kaibigan na babae,” he told Pep.ph.
While saying there is nothing romantic going on between them, Cruz admitted that he finds Schweighart beautiful.
“Nagagandahan ako sa kanya, she’s really beautiful. Kahit naman sinong makakita ng litrato niya, sasabihing maganda siya. Beauty queen talaga. Sobrang bait niya, sobrang sweet, ang sarap niyang kausap sa edad niya. I think she’s 20 yata," he said.
Cruz also appealed to the public to spare Schweighart from such rumors.
“Hang out lang talaga, magkaibigan lang kami ni Imee. Kaklaruhin ko ‘yan kasi kawawa naman, nadadamay na naman, nali-link na naman sa akin, sasabihin bagong girlfriend ko,” he said.
Courting Liz Uy?
Cruz also denied that he is courting celebrity stylist Liz Uy.
“Yun nga, si Ate Liz nadadamay. Matagal ko nang kaibigan 'yun, dati pa. Kasi nga, malambing talaga ako sa mga friends ko. Si Ate Liz, tawa nang tawa, tumawag sa akin, ‘Little bro, pati ako nadadamay.’ Sabi ko, huwag na lang niyang pansinin,” he said.
Cruz said he just missed Uy because it has been a while since they last saw each other.
Cruz’s last relationship was with actress Cristine Reyes. The two separated amicably late last year but it was only in January that they announced it.
