Jessy is special to him, Matteo says

MATTEO Guidicelli said that he is not romantically linked to Jessy Mendiola yet but stressed that his relationship with the actress is more than just friends.

"If there is a bar of friendship, we're like a little above that. Jessy is just amazing. I might just fall in love right there," he said in an interview with King of Talk Boy Abunda which aired on "The Buzz" over the weekend.

The actor said he controls his feelings because they also work opposite each other in "Paraiso." Matteo was asked on the real score between him and his leading lady after their "sweet" photos went viral online.

Matteo said he also wants to take things slow, especially after his recent break-up with "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" actress Maja Salvador.

"I believe this time around everything has to be taken slow and carefully dahil slow things are the things that really last long," he said.

He added that in the one year that he worked regularly with Jessy, she became really special to him.

"Yung mga pinagdaanan namin, I don't think it can be replaced or I could forget because the things we've gone through sa Paraiso, all the emotions we've given to each other, I’m never gonna forget and it means so much to me."

This Valentine's Day, the actor revealed that he will be watching a concert with Jessy. (Sunnex)
