Dingdong-Karylle break-up confirmed

The Dingdong-Karylle break up was confirmed today in an exclusive interview the ex-lovebirds did with Philippine Star columnist Ricky Lo.

“Actually, pagkatapos lumabas yun, hinihingi ko po sana na wag na munang iungkat o pag-usapan. Because I’d like to deal with it some time later on. Sana wag ngayon sa panahon na may pelikula because ayoko namang mabigyan ng ibang kahulugan.” Text by Jillian Q. Gatcheco. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio.
Dingdong Dantes is referring to his break up with Karylle, with whom he had a three-year relationship. This was confirmed today in an exclusive interview the ex-lovebirds did with Philippine Star columnist Ricky Lo.
In the article, Dingdong stated, “I don’t want our break-up to be used as promo for my movie with Marian.
Ever since we started going steady, Karylle and I tried to draw a line between our careers and our private lives.
“It was the result of a long process. Basta, nagka-iba ang priorities namin. We did try hard to iron things out and save our relationship, but…”

Love, Dingdong explained that he does not blame the public for their various interpretations for the break-up, especially since he and Karylle remained mum about it until now.
“Wala akong pwedeng hingin sa kanila, because I cannot control their interpretations, at kung ano gusto nilang isipin.
“You couldn’t prevent people from thinking that way, kaya nga we’re here, answering questions.
To clarify. Ako, I’m always for the truth, and at the end of the day, it will all come out.” As expected, people have insinuated that the break-up was caused by Marian Rivera, Dingdong’s three-time leading lady.

“Kahit lumalabas noon na issue about us, she really has nothing to do about it,” he stressed. “I would like to maintain the status quo. We’re good. I believe my partnership with Marian is working well this way.
So ayaw naming sirain kung ano man mayroon kami.”
In a separate interview, Marian said, “Kahit naman dati na nag-MariMar kami, sabi kami [raw]. Alam niyo yun? Hangga’t sa nag-Dyesebel, kami pa rin. Nagyon [sa One True Love], kami pa rin. Bahala na lang sila!”
What can she say about the nicknames that people have started calling her—”anaconda,” or “ahas?”
“Hindi naman sa sinasabi kong okay lang akong tawagin na ganoon, di ba? Pero ang parati kong sinasabi, balang araw, lalabas kung ano talaga ang katotohanan na wala talaga akong kinalaman, at labas ako doon.
“At lagi kong sinasabi sa mga interview ko, hindi ako selfish na tao.

Hindi ako gagawa ng isang sitwasyon, para lang masaya ako, para lang may masaktan ako. Never ko gagawin sa buhay ko na mang-agaw ng boyfriend ng may-boyfriend, para magka-boyfriend ako. Ang mga lalaki ang lumalapit sa akin, never ako.”
She added that she and Dingdong never talked about his problems with Karylle, and that she respects his privacy in his relationships.
When Dingdong was asked if the “confirmation” published today hurt him in any way, he replied, “Hindi naman, because we’re being asked, and I think you deserve to know. Kung hindi naman ako tatanungin, I will not say anything.”
He added, however, “Yung mga sinasabi ng tao, yes, it’s really very hurtful, pero tatanggapin ko na lang yun, I will remain this way. Because I believe para sa amin [ni K], it’s better to keep the privacy.”
Will Karylle remain a special part of his life? “Syempre. Hindi pwedeng hindi,” Dingdong answered.
“We have so many good things together, and that will always be there.” Talk about this topic in the iGMA Forums!
