Andrea Torres remains single, says she's open to meeting new people
Andrea Torres confirmed that she's still single, but she's not closing her doors on love, and she's open to meeting new people. On Tuesday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' the Sparkle star shared insights into her dating philosophy and what she looks for in a partner. 'Hindi na bago sa akin po 'to ah, kasi usually talaga, in between ng boyfriends ko, two years, three years, matagal talaga,' Andrea said. She confirmed that her last relationship was with Derek Ramsay. 'Parang three years [ago] po ata kung tama ang bilang ko,' she said. When asked about her openness to new relationships, Andrea said that she prefers to just go with the flow. 'Pagka sinabi ng friends ko na, 'Uy, meet mo 'to, feel ko bagay kayo.' Sige, mi-meet ko 'yan. Tingnan natin,' she said. Per Andrea, she just waits for the presence of a 'spark,' a feeling of both connection and kilig, which she believes are crucial and cannot be forced, even if a person's personality is otherwise appealing. 'Alam kong once ma-feel ko 'yun, dire-diretso na 'yun,' she said. 'I'm sure pag ready na ako, darating 'yan.' Regarding her preferences in a partner, Andrea noted that her past boyfriends have not looked alike, suggesting that physical appearance is not a primary factor. 'Feeling ko it's really sa ugali, kung mag-ja-jive kami, kung may pagka-old school siguro siya. Tsaka doon sa kilig na 'yun. Importante 'yun, 'di ba, tito?' she said. Andrea is set to star in the series 'Akusada.' She will be joined by Benjamin Alves, Lianne Valentin, Marco Masa, Sandy Andolong, and more. 'Akusada' is directed by award-winning director Dominic Zapata and will begin airing on June 30 at 4 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Kylie Padilla became emotional as she shared a deeply personal and emotional insight into her current perspective on love, revealing a new approach centered on divine inspiration. In 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' Friday, the Sparkle star candidly expressed her journey and her desire not to be defined by past traumas. 'I'm trying something new kasi marami akong—ako, 'di ko na-survive 'yung gano'ng nangyari sa 'kin. Alam niyo naman lahat 'yon. So I'm trying something new where I'm trying to understand how God would love,' she said. Kylie's current outlook is influenced by a divine approach, where she seeks to comprehend and emulate God's love. 'If God can love me and forgive me and come from a place na hindi nauubos, baka kaya ko rin. Lagi akong nagdadasal na teach me how I can love the way you do kasi I don't wanna be shaped by the bad things that traumatized me or that hurt me,' she said. The actress's motivation extends to her children, as she wishes for them to witness resilience and love despite adversity. 'I want my kids to see that no matter what happened to you, you still should come from a place of love. So 'yun 'yung outlook ko with love right now. Kasi for a time din naging bitter din ako, 'di ba? So the only way I feel I can be healed is higher being na,' she said. Kylie has two sons, Alas and Axl, with Aljur Abrenica. Kylie and Aljur parted ways in 2021. Aljur later admitted that he cheated on Kylie. Following the separation, Kylie and the boys moved into their new home. In September 2023, Kylie shared that she does not hold them back from seeing their dad and that she does not want to put him in a negative light. During Kylie's guesting in "Fast Talk" on Friday with "My Father's Wife" co-star Kazel Kinouchi, the two actresses admitted that they are both taken, but did not share details about their partners.
