The 21-year-old actress said both her parents have already met her rumored suitor and that even her dad whom she recently reunited with after 14 years approves of him despite their age gap. “Sabi ng Daddy ko mabait daw at saka bata pa (laughs),” she said.
Jessy said that even though Sebastian did not know she was a celebrity when they first met, he has now been able to watch some of her work including her movies. “Napanuod na niya tapos gustong gusto niya yung mga commercials. Eto nga pinapanuod ko sa kanya yung LINE commercial ko sabi niya, 'Oh you sing!' so ayun. Ako rin yung nag-introduce ng LINE sa kanya kaya nagustuhan niya. Nagagamit ko yun sa travel, pag may work kami abroad, pag may gusto kami kausapin dito sa Pinas yung mga na-mi-miss namin tinatawagan lang namin,” she added.
When asked about what she thinks of the recent comeback of her former flame JM De Guzman who admittedly did drugs, Jessy said she has nothing but good hopes for him. Even though they have not been able to talk to each other yet, she said she thinks he deserves a second chance in showbiz. “Basta masaya ako na nakabalik na siya kasi matagal na naming sinasabi na sana makabalik na siya and now that all is well huwag na lang natin balikan yung mga tapos na,” she shared.
JM also recently made a statement denying she was the reason why he turned to illegal substances. “Walang ganun ganun. Pero nasabi na niya yun so okay na rin yun. Huwag na lang natin balikan. I'm happy for him and he looks really well. Napanuod ko kasi yung interview and I'm happy na ganun yung nangyayari sa kanya ngayon. He deserves to be back in showbiz,” she said.
Given the opportunity to be in a project together with JM, Jessy said she will not hesitate to say yes. “Why not? Oo naman. It's still work. Magaling siyang aktor kaya gusto ko siyang makatrabaho,” she said.
