Jillian Ward reveals qualities she is looking for in a potential boyfriend

Jillian Ward admitted that there is already someone who has caught her eye.

In a GMA Integrated News interview with Aubrey Carampel on "24 Oras," Wednesday, the Star of the New Gen was a blushing 19-year-old when she was asked about her love life.

"Wala po akong boyfriend pero minsan kinikilig po talaga ako ngayon," she said.

Jillian did not name any names and demurely raised her eyebrows when asked if her crush is someone from showbiz, but she still talked about the mystery guy.

"Eto na lang po, so 'yung gusto ko kasi hindi niya alam na gusto ko siya," she said, and then clarified, "Hindi naman po one-sided kasi apparently gusto niya din daw ako pero 'di ko sinasabi sa kanya na gusto din kita, ganoon."

The Sparkle star also shared the qualities she is looking for in a potential boyfriend.

"S'yempre god-fearing, gusto ko po very family-oriented. Naniniwala po kasi ako na kung paano niya mamahalin 'yung family niya, ganoon niya rin po ako mamahalin," she said.

"Gusto ko po very honest sa sarili niya at may paninindigan, ayun, 'yun po 'yung pinaka-importante para sa akin and hardworking," she added. "Gusto ko po 'yung mabait talaga and 'yung hindi po siya pretentious."

Jillian first admitted having a crush last year. She has previously been linked to her "Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap" co-stars Jeff Moses and Raheel Bhyria, who both surprised her with Valentine's Day gifts.

"Widows' War" actor Matthew Uy also admitted earlier this year that he has a crush on Jillian.

Meanwhile, Jillian is herself a certified crush ng bayan, having received several rings from fans and earning her the nickname "Pambansang Fiancée."

"Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap" is heading to its finale after ruling GMA Afternoon Prime for over two years. Aside from Jillian, it stars Carmina Villarroel, Richard Yap, Allen Dizon, Pinky Amador, Kazel Kinouchi, and Dina Bonnevie.
