But Jessy obviously set aside whatever misgivings she had about it for the sake of work. “We’re coworkers so hindi naman talaga maiiwasan na magkasalubong. Maliit lang ang mundo… Nagulat din ako na makakatrabaho ko siya. [Pero] yun nga, sabi niya we’re very used to each other.”
As previously reported on Push.com.ph, Jessy admitted that the reason they decided not to pursue a romantic relationship was because they wanted to prioritize their respective careers. “Napagdesisyonan na naming dalawa na mutual na trabaho na lang muna. Pero I’m not closing any doors kasi we are friends naman ni Matteo. Happy din ako para sa kanya kasi ang dami niyang trabaho ngayon. Kung pagsasabayin pa namin lahat baka mabaliw pa siya at mag-run, swim at bike na siya away from me.”
During the press con of their endorsement, Jessy chose not to further talk about the issue with Matteo standing beside her. “How awkward! Mamaya tayo mag-usap,” she jokingly told Matteo before finally cutting off the interview with the entertainment media.
