'Magkaagaw' stars Sheryl Cruz, Jeric Gonzales deny relationship rumors

"Magkaagaw" stars Sheryl Cruz and Jeric Gonzales dismissed rumors that they are in a romantic relationship.

According to Lhar Santiago's report on "24 Oras," Sheryl reportedly visited Jeric on a rehearsal, while allegedly Jeric broke up with his non-showbiz girlfriend last December.

"Unang-una wala naman akong girlfriend ngayon kaya paano magkakaroon ng dahilan para mag-breakup? Single ako, single po ako ngayon," Jeric said.

The two stars took the rumors as a sign that their afternoon drama series is doing well.

"Natawa tsaka natuwa nung nabasa ko 'yung mga articles and 'yung balita kasi parang effective, effective 'yung ginagawa namin sa show na parang nagiging totoo na sa kanila," Jeric said.

Sheryl and Jeric play the characters Veron and Jio, who are having an affair behind Jio's wife Clarisse, played by Klea Pineda.

"Sinasabi ko na lang sa sarili ko, 'Ah dahil siguro maganda 'yung ratings ng show namin at popular 'yung show namin kaya siguro napag-uusapan kami,'" Sheryl said. —MGP, GMA News
