Jillian Ward says she wants to keep love life private

Jillian Ward continues to be the subject of dating rumors, with new Sparkle artist Kobie Brown being the latest guy linked to her.

But when asked about her love life on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Thursday, the Star of the New Gen kept mum about it.

“Gusto ko rin po maprotektahan ‘yung tao sa paligid ko, whether family ko ‘yun, or friends ko, or loved ones,” Jillian said.

[I want to be able to protect the people around me, whether it's my family, friends, or loved ones.]

“Gusto ko na maging private siya para mas ma-cherish ko ‘yung mga connections ko, relationships ko with people. And I want to protect their privacy, lahat ng mga tao around me,” she added.

[I want my love life private so I can cherish my connections, and my relationships with people. I want to protect the privacy of those around me.]

Meanwhile, fellow guest and “The Clash Teens” judge Christian Bautista gave some wise advice for Jillian regarding her love life.

“From the onset palang ng mag-de-date or whatever, sana maging honest na siya at ikaw sa isa’t isa,” he said.

[From the onset, you have to be honest with each other.]

“’Yung talagang wala nang best foot forward. Ito ako, ito siya, how will we make this work,” Christian added.

[Forego putting the best foot forward. Show each other who you are. This is me. This is you. How will we make this work?]
