Former couple Roxanne Guinoo and Jake Cuenca are both in Precious Hearts Romances presents Bud Brothers but will be paired up with different actors. Jake will play the ex-boyfriend of Cristine Reyes while Roxanne will be the partner of new star Guji Lorenzana. But during the press conference of the said drama, Roxanne said that she doesn’t have any problems should she be required to do a scene with Jake. “Bawat pair may kanya-kanyang story. Pero may mga eksena na ‘yung ibang characters magkikita-kita. Hindi ko po alam kung magkaka eksena kami ni Jake. Lahat naman ng work namin dahil sa decision ng management. Ang akin naman kung ano ‘yung ibigay sa aking trabaho na tingin ko e worth it, gagawin ko. Wala naman magiging problema kung magkaganun. Focused ako sa trabaho ko. Ayoko nang magkaroon pa ng conflict sa kahit sinong co-actors ko especially with Jake.”

After their breakup almost a year ago, Roxanne and Jake have managed to keep a peaceful relationship. They even starred in an episode of Maalaala Mo Kaya. Roxanne said that despite the sad split, she is proud about her friendship with her ex-boyfriend. “Maganda ang friendship na meron kami ngayon. Kung ano man ‘yung naging past between us hindi na namin inuungkat. Madalas kaming magkita dito sa ABS-CBN. Wala namang problema. Wala naman kaming napag-uusapan na kung ano mang issue. Kahit nagkaproblema kami dati, ‘yung problemang ‘yun kaming dalawa lang ang nagdala. May ibang tao man na nangialam o nagpilit ungkatin ‘yung problema, kaming dalawa pa rin ‘yung nanahimik. Choice naming dalawa ‘yun. Ganun namin nirespeto ang isa’t isa. Mas maganda ‘yung nangyari.”

While Jake remains a happy bachelor, Roxanne has found a new love with a non-showbiz boyfriend. The actress has chosen to keep the details of her love life to herself, but nevertheless, she shared that she treats her new boyfriend as a blessing from God. “Sa love life ko wala na akong mahihiling pa. Tingin ko ganito ‘yung binigay ng Diyos sa akin. Lahat ng tao naghihirap sa love life, may mga pagdadaanan tayo. Ngayon nakabawi naman kasi masaya na ako. Tahimik ang love life, may trabaho, so sa tingin ko wala na akong mahihiling pang iba. Masaya ako sa minamahal ko ngayon at mamahalin ko siya nang sobra. Tahimik lang, masaya kaming ganito.”

Roxanne said that her boyfriend is okay with her continuing friendship with Jake and if ever she will have to work with her old flame. “Malaki ang respeto at tiwala ng boyfriend ko sa akin at ganun din ako sa kanya. Kahit hindi niya ako kasama walang magiging problema.” The actress added that she sees no reason for tension if her boyfriend and Jake should ever cross paths. “Never pa silang nagkita. Kapag may trabaho ako may trabaho din ‘yung boyfriend ko na sinasabayan niya ng pag-aaral. Kami na ang naga-adjust sa oras ng isa’t isa. Pero kung magkakataon, siguro hindi naman masama kung I will introduce ‘yung boyfriend ko kay Jake. Hindi naman bastos na tao si Jake para bastusin niya ‘yung boyfriend ko. Ganun din ‘yung boyfriend ko kay Jake.”

Roxanne also talked about the health of her father whom she plans to accompany for a check-up. “Kailangan lang siguro ng check-up ng Papsi ko kaya siya umuwi. Sasamahan ko siya sa St. Luke’s Hospital para sa check-up niya. Nagkaka edad na rin kasi kaya ipag-pray na lang natin ang kalagayan niya. Ganyan talaga kapag nagkaka edad kaya tayong lahat, habang bata, alagaan natin ang mga sarili natin. I-enjoy ang buhay at huwag ma-stress (laughs).”
