Barbie Forteza on breakup with Jak Roberto: 'Not as painful'
The Kapuso Primetime Princess appeared in Toni Gonzaga's recent vlog episode, where she opened up about her breakup with the Kapuso actor earlier this year.
When asked how she healed from their seven-year relationship, Barbie said 'Masaya, smooth. Yung transition, it wasn't as painful as some people painted it to be.'
'It's not as painful. It wasn't actually,' she added.
According to Barbie, the healing process was proof of how healthy their relationship was.
'It just goes to show how healthy the relationship was. Tiningnan namin siya as for the growth din talaga ng bawat isa,' Barbie shared, adding that their relationship had 'a good run' and that they 'were very happy.'
In the interview, she also shared the lessons she learned from their relationship such as the importance of having 'me time.'
'Kahit na may karelasyon ka, always make time for yourself. Always make time to spend it with yourself. Magkaroon ka ng me time,' Barbie said.
Emphasizing the importance of having 'me time,' the 'Beauty Empire 'star shared that spending time alone allows you to build your own identity, understand yourself better outside the relationship and grow as an individual.
Since announcing her breakup from Jak in January, Barbie has been keeping herself busy with self-care dates, bonding moments with friends and family, and working on new projects. She's even taken up running.
She is set to star in 'Beauty Empire' which will have its primetime debut on July 7.

Do Mika Salamanca, Brent Manalo have the chance to be romantically together? Pair answers
Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo (BreKa) were one of the fan ships that blossomed from the 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.' Fans have even started calling the winning duo as MikBrent. With their undeniable chemistry inside the house, is there a chance for the duo to be together in real life? On Monday's episode of 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Tito Boy spiced things up by asking about the possibility of a romantic relationship between Brent and Mika—with a twist: He had them sit on opposite ends of the couch, and their answer would be revealed by how close they chose to move toward each other. As the two gradually moved closer, they playfully teased each other before ultimately settling just an arm's length apart. 'Wala ng mas lalapit pa?' Tito Boy asked, to which earned a laugh from BreKa. 'OK masaya na kami diyan,' Brent said. In the same interview, the King of Talk asked the two stars what one question they'd like to ask each other—something they hadn't asked before. Brent asked Mika, 'Ngayong nasa outside world na tayo, nakita mo na lahat ng nangyari sa loob ako pa rin ba ang pipiliin mo na duo mo sa loob?' 'Oo naman kasi sabi ko sayo hindi 'yon magbabago,' Mika answered smiling. She also asked the same question to Brent, to which he answered 'Of course.' Brent and Mika were the first-ever big winner duo of the 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.' — Jade Veronique Yap/LA, GMA Integrated News
