Mikee Quintos said she finally found the “closure” she had been looking for after reconnecting with ex-boyfriend Paul Salas following their breakup last year.

On Monday's episode of Fast Talk With Boy Abunda, the Sparkle star shared that she saw Paul again during the Bida sa Arena celebrity basketball game on Sunday, May 3.

Mikee also confirmed that they previously had a chance to talk during Mikoy Morales' bachelor party in February.

"We talked, okay naman. I'm not gonna deny, it was still painful. Masakit pa rin pero 'yung usap namin na ito compared to our breakup last year is so much better," Mikee said.

"I found myself saying to him dito sa usap na 'to na parang eto 'yung gusto kong usap last year. Sabi ko sa kaniya nun, ito 'yung kinailangan kong closure last year," she added. "Akala ko nga 'di ko na makukuha but at least nakuha ko pa rin."

According to Mikee, she believes their conversation went smoothly because she is now in a much better place emotionally.

"Along the way, looking back, I was not just grieving us, the relationship. I also grieved a version of myself, 'yung Mikee na 'yun na was with Paul. I don't think I can go back to her. I love who I am now," she explained.

Mikee recently grew closer to Heaven Peralejo, who also went through a breakup last year with former boyfriend Marco Gallo.

Heaven joined Mikee on the talk show, where they opened up about how their experiences helped strengthen their friendship.

Speaking about her split with Marco, Heaven admitted she also went through a phase of anger before eventually accepting that their relationship had ended.

"It was a beautiful love," Heaven said. "I realized na hindi naman lahat ng tao, is meant to stay forever in your life. And sometimes dapat nandun lang siya sa season na 'yun ng istorya ng buhay mo."

"And it's fine kasi at some point minahal namin 'yung isa't isa the best that we can," she added.
