Matteo ready yet for love

MATTEO Guidicelli said he not ready yet for any romantic commitment after his failed romance with ABS-CBN actress Maja Salvador.

"Ayoko ko muna. Masaya ako sa buhay ko ngayon. I'm very contented. I'm in love with sport but I'm not ready for a relationship yet. Not now," said Matteo in a recent Cinema News interview.

His latest statement dispelled rumors linking him to his "Paraiso" co-star Jessy Mendiola.

The couple is reportedly seeing each other after work and the actor was spotted cozying up to Jessy during a dinner date.

But Matteo denied that he went out with the actress on a date.

"Kasama namin yung buong cast ng Paraiso. Lumabas kami after the long weekend kasi nag tape kami sa Zambales," he said.

He reiterated that he will not do such thing as he respects JM de Guzman, who is reportedly wooing the actress.

"JM is a very nice guy, I always tell Jessy that. I know he's a good friend of mine also. I respect him and I won't do anything disrespectful to JM," he said.

For Jessy's part, she said there's no chance for her to get involved with Matteo because her main focus now is work.

"Galing siya sa heart break. Ayoko namang (masira yung) relationship namin as co-actors and friends," she said. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex)
