People have different ways of coping with a heartbreak. For Ashley Rivera, she chose to stay active by starting a new hobby: running.
“Alam mo, iba talaga ang nagagawa kapag heartbroken ka, e, ang dami mong nagagawa sa buhay mo, e,” she told GMANetwork.com and other reporters in a short chat before the World Gin Day Celebration of Ginebra San Miguel on Tuesday, June 4.
The Sparkle artist mentioned that she got out of a five-year relationship last March 2024. To cure her broken heart, Ashley decided to get serious about running.
“Naging challenge lang siya hanggang sa tuloy na akong nalulong sa running. I'm so happy kasi it's so fun and… Hello, tingnan mo naman nakaka-slim ang cardio!”

Since then, Ashley has joined several fun runs and she consistently shared this to her followers on social media.
Last weekend, Ashley posted a video of her getting exhausted in a 10K fun run.
“Susuka pero hindi susuko,” she said when GMANetwork.com asked her about it.
Then, she noted, “I'm so happy na nakakapag-run, run na ako. Feeling ko meron akong contribution sa society. 'Tapos, alam mo yun, healthy living na tayo, balance lang yung life natin, di ba?”
Meanwhile, when asked if she had moved on from her previous relationship, Ashley indirectly replied in jest, “Huh? Blooming [points at her face]. So, yes, masaya naman ako.”
Will she be open to being in a relationship again soon?
She immediately answered, “No, self-love lang muna tayo. Kasi, yung happiness, hindi naman 'yan dine-depend sa partner, nasa sa iyo 'yan, nasa sarili mo 'yan. It starts within you. Ang daming alam!"
