Benjamin Alves affirms deep affection for Julie Anne San Jose

Benjamin Alves wants it known that he and Julie Anne San Jose are exclusively dating and every day he looks forward to seeing her.

This is what PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) gathered during his visit at its office on Thursday, April 27.

He told PEP, “Unlike before, alam niyo 'yan, when we're working, doon lang kayo nagkikita.

“Kasi every day pagod kayo… kung nasa taping ka, nakakapagod din.

“Now, we get to see more of each other outside of work

“It’s nice to see her every day, we get to do things that are outside at work.

“Less stress for now.”

Benjamin and Julie Anne were paired together in the defunct GMA teleserye "Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa."

The 28-year-old Kapuso actor also stressed their affection for each other is for real, not just because of their work.

“We don't have a show now and you guys still see us together,” he said.

During the interview, a PEPster asked Benjamin how committed he is to Julie Anne.

He said, “Ano ba sabi ko kanina, 'Every day I look forward to see you.'

“Like we've said, we're exclusively dating. I look forward to seeing her.”

Benjamin said it's different now that their teleserye has ended.

He explained, “Pareho naman kaming public figures or artista.

“We can share certain aspects of it when we're out, we're not shy about that.

“Again, we will always share naman what we feel like… there's nothing na kailangan ikahiya.

“And we're both in the public eyes, we’ve had that talk, yun ang importante.

“How we are going to share this with our fans.”

In the end, he has this wish, “Sana hindi sila magsawa.

“At sana, yun nga, it blooms for us to work together or keep supporting us individually.” -- For more showbiz news, visit PEP.ph
