Christian admits dating Singaporean actress

Christian Bautista has remained secretive about his love life, saying that he wants to keep it private and would only talk once the press catches him with a date.

What’s his Valentine’s day plan?

“February 29, (I have) a concert with Karylle,” Christian said in jest, trying to evade the question.

“Hopefully I could get a break. definitely I will have a vacation by March. It’s a post-Valentine’s date,” he explained.

Christian then turned serious and admitted that he is currently dating.

“I’m seeing someone. So we’re gonna have a vacation,” he confirmed.

Christian was recently photographed with fellow “The Kitchen Musical” star, Singaporean actress-model Carla Dunareanu. They were on a group date with Karylle and Yael Yuzon and Art Acuna and Maritina Romulo.

Is Carla the current apple of his eyes?

“Yeah, she’s the one. We’re dating, yes. Pero yun muna for now,” Christian replied.

Next career move

The singer-actor reveals he is open to studying his options once his contract with ABS-CBN ends in August.

“After everything that has happened to me, everything is an option. I love ABS-CBN, it’s my first station. I would like to stay, pero kung wala namang ibang offers, I would have to study other options,” Christian told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! and some members of the press at the Talent Agents’ Organization’s (TAO) Party “Skin: The TAO Models’ Party” on Tuesday, February 7 at Genting Club, Resorts World Manila.

Christian admitted he is not aware of rumors that TV5 is offering him a musical talent show where he will act as host.

And since he still has to learn about other offers from other networks, Christian explains that he cannot give a concrete decision yet. Besides, he still has a contract with the Kapamilya network.

More acting projects

After landing a role in “The Kitchen Musical,” Christian learned to enjoy acting and now wants to pursue it some more.

“I wanna try a little acting now. Kasi sa music, kilala naman na ako as a singer. So for me, as purely a singer for ten years, I wanna do something different para hindi masawa ang mga tao,” he said.

“Like before, I was with Warner Music, they really took care of me. Then there was a time I had to move to Universal Records and it brought me to places I’ve never been. Unfortunately, the answer is we will see,” he added.

Indonesia incident

Christian recently figured in a rumored deportation issue in Indonesia, which he and his management company, Stages ,denied.

Christian is happy and grateful his fans believed and supported him.

“I love my Indonesian and Filipino fans. Talagang they support me. Of course, nalungkot talaga ako noong deportation issue na yun,” he remarked.

He added that they are now fixing the issue. Christian will be going back to Indonesia for another show.

“They have to talk to the Embassy para malaman namin ang next steps. The Indonesian immigration knows na it’s not my fault eh,” Christian added.
