Dennis Trillo wants to be friends with ex Jennylyn Mercado

MANILA, Philippines – Estranged couple Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado are now ready to let bygones be bygones.

Citing Dennis, “Unang Hirit” reported on Jan. 12 that the two “Party Pilipinas” mainstays have already spoken to one another on the set of said show last month. Apparently, that had been the first time they did so after their separation early last year.

Although he did not disclose details of their meeting, Dennis said that he made the “first move” in order to ease the tension between them.

“N’ung time na ‘yun, magpa-Pasko, so siyempre gusto ko rin na maging mapayapa lahat at panatag ‘yung loob ng mga tao. Mahirap ‘yung may kasamaan ka ng loob,” he related.

Jennylyn earlier confirmed this on the New Year episode of “Showbiz Central,” which she co-hosts.

“Okay na. Ibig sabihin parang… siyempre, kahit papa’no ‘di ba, Christmas na at bagong taon na. Kalimutan na natin ‘yung mga nakaraang pagsubok at mga samaan ng loob,” she said.

With this development, Dennis hopes to be friends again with his ex-girlfriend.

“Sana naman, oo. Kasi matagal na ‘yun eh, ‘di ba? Dapat nga ‘di na pinag-uusapan ‘yun eh kasi matagal na ‘yun eh,” said he.

Dennis and Jennylyn’s almost one year-relationship ended in March last year. In May, Jennylyn detailed the events of the night of their breakup in a YES! Magazine feature, confirming rumors that they parted ways after a petty fight escalated to violence.

Now, Jennylyn is in a relationship with ABS-CBN actor-host Luis Manzano. On the other hand, Dennis is persistently being linked to leading lady Bianca King.
