Lovi: 'I don't want to be with anyone'

Lovi Poe and Jake Cuenca have constantly been linked since they strred in the movie “My Neighbor’s Wife” last year. But the Kapuso star has also constantly denied that they’re exclusively dating.

In fact, Lovi said she’d rather be by herself right now.

“Of course, in the future, I’ll never know naman, e. But I just want to be alone. Loner ang peg ko ngayon,” Lovi said when asked by members of the press if there’s a chance she and Jake can be more than friends.

The 23-year-old actress added she can’t even say if Jake is courting her.

“I can’t call it ‘ligaw’ because it’s something na I don’t want to venture into just yet,” she explained. “Someday, we’ll see. Tingnan natin.”

Lovi explained she simply wants to keep her friendship with Jake as is for now.

“I just want to keep it this way first. Kasi, so many things happen when we go beyond this thing called friendship.”

Different place

Besides Jake, Lovi is still closely associated with ex-sweetheart Ronald Singson. The actress admits that they’re still “good friends” and that they communicate once in a while.

“It’s something that I’ve accepted,” she said about her ties with the former congressman. “The thing that we went through before is not a joke naman. And it’s something I chose to be associated with. It’s not a problem for me because Ronald is a good person. He’ll always have a special place para sa akin.”

Do they talk about Jake?

Lovi said there’s no need as they’re both in a “different place right now.”

“I don’t know what the future will bring. But for me, I just wanna be alone, be myself first. I don’t want to be with anyone,” she said.

Most beautiful

Meanwhile, Lovi’s career is flourishing. She is slated to do a number of films this year, including the independent film “Lihis” with Jake and Baron Geisler, directed by Joel Lamangan.
She’s also part of Yes! Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful Stars issue this year.

“I’m happy that I’m part of the list,” she said. “There are moments when I don’t feel that I am (beautiful). But for them to put me in this list makes me feel more inspired to carry myself really well.”

But Lovi doesn’t think being part of the annual list puts her above other celebrities in the industry.

“Everybody is beautiful naman,” she said. “And wala naman akong maisip na hindi part of the list.”
