(UPDATE) Piolo Pascual surprised viewers of “The Buzz” on Sunday, January 30, with an admission that he and actress KC Concepcion are in a relationship.
“Yes,” Piolo said when asked if he and KC are together. Their romance started on October 21, Piolo said, two years after he started his courtship.
Piolo also explained that the reason it took him this long to reveal the real score between him and KC is because of his son, Iñigo.
“The reason why I never admitted naman or never elaborate is because my pinoprotektahan ako. You know how it is. You have a son na hindi mo makasama. Ayaw mo mapariwara yung bata. Ayaw mong magkaroon ng ibang reaction kasi bata yun. He's only 13 years old. But I think I've decided at this point na kung ano man ang magiging reaction ng anak ko from here, we're just gonna deal with it.
Piolo also said that his admission was to send out a message to those who may
have intentions of courting KC that she “is taken.”
Philippine Azkals booter Phil Younghusband had revealed in a media interview that he found KC and fellow Kapamilya star Angel Locsin as "very attractive." Reports also said that Black Eyed Peas member Allan Pineda Lindo or apl.de.ap had given KC a Tiffany bracelet.
“And siguro para na rin tumigil yung mga nagpaparinig kay Kristina... Marami raw kasi nagsasabi na may gusto sa kanya, pero I guess they just have to know that we've been together since last year.”
Does this mean Piolo sees spending the rest of his life together with KC?
“Siguro hindi naman ako aamin ng ganito at hindi ako magtatake ng risk kung sa tingin ko hindi ko sya gusto makasama habang buhay,” Piolo said. “I find it too unfair na sya lagi nagsasalita so finally I told her a couple of days ng nagusap kami, 'I guess it's time for me to speak. Ikaw lagi nagsasalita. Alam kong nahihirapan ka rin.' Bilang lalaki, it's also a responsibility,” he said.
In a separate interview with "The Buzz," KC said she did not know Piolo will talk about their relationship since the actor is known for being mum about his love life.
“Kanina talagang sabi ko, wala, wala akong ineexpect at all,” a teary eyed KC said.
“Mararamdaman ko naman kung sincere yung tao, kung totoo yung sinasabi nya or totoo yung pinagdadaanan. And I've always said this before... when he decides to do something, napaisipan na nya yun. Ang daming pinagdaanan ng utak nya, ng puso nya, ng katawan nya, na-spiritualize nya, and dami nya pingadadaanan to reach a certain point sa lahat ng ginagawa nya,” KC added.
KC and Piolo first worked together in the local version of the Korean series, "Lovers In Paris."
