Carla Abellana has finally confirmed details of her current love life.

In an exclusive interview with GMA Integrated News during the GMA Gala 2025, the Widows' War actress confirmed that she's now happily seeing someone new.

"I've said it naman na before na parang it's about time I open myself to dating, meeting new people. So I decided to try it," Carla shared.

The Kapuso actress couldn't help but smile as she also added, "There's a second date. We'll see if there's gonna be more dates."

This update followed Carla's previous statement in May, in which she said she was ready to give love a second chance. In an interview with Julius Babao, she shared her cautious yet hopeful outlook on dating again.

"Lagi ko pong sinasabi na may mga nagpaparamdam pero syempre, nag-iingat din po ako na after what happened to me mga ganon. Kailangan pipiliin ko po talaga ng mabuti," she said. "Ang importante, integrity po diba, yung honesty, yung respect."

Carla also shared that after her previous heartbreak, she has become more careful and discerning when it comes to dating.

"Honest, may respeto, wala pong tinatagong kahit anong bagay at tsaka mabait. Simple lang, integrity at 'tsaka mabait," she highlighted.

Carla was married to actor Tom Rodriguez in October 2021. The couple finalized their divorce in June 2022. After a year, Carla announced she had finally moved on.
