Jennylyn Mercado and Luis Manzano, however, admitted that the term of endearment they use for one another is “love.”

Luis explained the reason why he calls Jennylyn “love” is because she is very special to his heart. Although he keeps on denying that they are not yet in the boyfriend girlfriend level, he’s vocal about his intentions for her.

“Wala pa naman talaga, pero hindi ko sinasabing hindi pwedeng mangyari dahil ‘yon po ang intensyon ko. Sana naman ‘yon din ang intensyon nya, so wala pa lang talaga.” he said.

After starring in the afternoon soap “Little Star,” Jennylyn Mercado will now topbill a primetime teleserye on GMA-7 with the working title “Fotbolilits.” Also starring in the upcoming project is Raymart Santiago, whom we last seen in “Bantatay.”

Ehra Madrigal will have a special role in the said teleserye as Raymart’s wife. But it’s only a short appearance because the character will die on the early part of the teleserye.

“Footbulilits,” as the title suggests, revolves around the story of kids who are training to become football players someday and Raymart will play the role of their coach.

It is said to be the replacement for “Magic Palayok” which is ending soon.

In an interview by Cristy Fermin on Paparazzi, Jennylyn’s mom Lydia Mercado revealed that Kapamilya host/actor Luis Manzano is always visiting Jennylyn and her son Alex Jazz in their home.

Manzano admitted in his showbiz-oriented program “E-Live” on ABS-CBN a couple of weeks ago that he is indeed dating the Kapuso star and that they are currently in the “getting-to-know-more-about-each-other” stage.

This is the reason why there’s a frequent sighting of the Pilipinas Got Talent host in Jennylyn Mercado‘s house lately. And according to Mrs. Lydia Mercado, Luis is now getting very close to Jennylyn’s son Alex Jazz.

Last week, Luis Manzano and Jennylyn Mercado were spotted shopping together at a grocery store in Taguig. Luis did not confirm nor deny the issue after he was asked by Showbiz News Ngayon if he and Jennylyn are an item.

Yesterday on his showbiz talk show “E-Live”, his co-host Nikki Gil dropped the question.

Nikki Gil: “Nagdidate nga ba kayo ni Jennilyn Mercado?”

Luis: “YES”

Luis pointed out that network affiliation is not an issue once you develop a feelings for someone.

“Kahit nasa kabila [GMA-7] si Jen, I’ve always been a fan of her beauty. Kahit nung nakita ko siya, sa Lepazpi pa yun, e, I am hosting a pageant. Sabi ko sa kasama ko, ‘Ang ganda niya, ‘no?’” he said.

Luis also cleared about the Boracay issue that he allegedly followed Jennylyn a week after the Kapuso star went to boracay. He said that Jennylyn was there for a vacation with her family and her son not because they planned it.

Luis also confirmed that he already introduced the Kapuso actress to her mom, Gov. Vilma Santos, during a show in Batangas.

Minutes after Luis Manzano confessed about his love life on E-Live, Jennylyn Mercado followed suit and confirmed on the opposite program, Star Talk, that she and Luis are dating.

Kapuso stars Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado, who starred together in the movie “Rosario” and the soap opera “Gumapang Ka sa Lusak”, broke up last March 5 (CLICK HERE TO READ RELATED ARTICLE). But this was announced by Trillo’s manager, Popoy Caritativo, and Mercado’s manager, Becky Aguila, three weeks after.

The said break-up of the two Kapuso stars is still a gray area to the entertainment press as they both kept mum about the issue and neither has said any reason why they have split up.

However, Nelson Canlas reported on 24 Oras that Jennylyn Mercado is about to break her silence and even threaten to drop a “bomb” one of these days.

“Naibulong sa akin ni Jennlyn na hindi na raw niya paaabutin ng buwan ng Mayo at sasabihin na niya na ang tunay na dahilan ng break-up nila ni Dennis at sinabi rin niya na maaaring makaapekto ito or maaring may mga taong maapektuhan o ma-shock sa kanyang revelations,” he said.

Dennis, on the other hand, isn’t bothered by the rumored threat.

In a short interview by PEP last April 14, the Kapuso hunk believes the explosive revelation of Jennylyn is already useless by now.

“Alam n’yo kung meron mang pasasabugin, dapat nu’ng umpisa pa lang kasi, ‘di ba, anong use?” He said.

Is Jennylyn set to file a case against her former boyfriend? She said the “bomb” is set to explode before May. It’s already May 6 and there are reports that Jennylyn might sue ex-boyfriend Dennis Trillo for “physical abuse.”

If so, don’t you think it’s already too late to do that?
