In an interview on Push published on Saturday, the 28-year-old explained that she simply was not ready to enter a new relationship, despite Jackson confessing his love for her.
"At that time, yes, of course, marami akong pinagdadaanan sa buhay ko nun, relationship-wise or not," she said.
Eigenmann lost her father, actor Mark Gil, in the same month. She was also reeling from her break up with Jake Ejercito, the son of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada with former actress Laarni Enriquez.
The two have reportedly reconciled since.
"Ayoko nang nagmamadali. I don't want to jump into something that I know I’m not ready for," Eigenmann added. She also clarified that she remains good friends with Jackson.
Eigenmann and Jackson are set to star in a currently unnamed project, marking the their first big screen team-up.
