John Prats confirms that he and Rachelle Ann Go are exclusively dating

In an interview with Push.com.ph and Cinema One News, John Prats revealed that Rachelle Ann Go is the girl who'rsquo;s closest to his heart right now. He also confirmed the rumors that they were often seen watching movies together. 'Oo, lumalabas naman kami, may mga group dates, may mga kaming dalawa lang. Tugma kami kasi mahilig ako manood ng movies. Yun siguro pinakamagandang bonding time na nagkakasundo kami. And matagal ko ng kilala si Shin (as friends fondly call Rachelle Ann), nung ASAP pa lang. Pero it was through our common friend Erik Santos kaya nagkaroon ng chance na nagkasama kami ulit sa labas ng trabaho,' he happily related.

Both of them came from almost a year after a painful breakup, but John was quick to say that what they have can'rsquo;t be considered love on the rebound. 'Siguro kung after ng breakup, yun siguro rebound. Pero dumaan naman na kasi ako sa stage na minahal ko yung sarili ko. So baka pwede nang magmahal muli. Masaya kasi hindi planado, hindi yung nasabi ko na type ko itong babaeng ito, walang ganon e. Nagsimula lang talaga kaming lumabas hanggang sa na-enjoy namin company ng isa'rsquo;t isa. Yun, ganon lang talaga siya nangyari, hindi nage-expect ng kanit ano kaya masaya, walang pressure.'

Although they are not an official couple yet, John said that he already talked to his Banana Split/ASAP XV co-star Gab Valenciano who happens to be Rachelle'rsquo;s ex-boyfriend. 'Hindi pa naman kasi kami ni Shin, pero siyempre nakakakasama ko si Gab sa trabaho. So kinausap ko siya, sinabi ko na lumalabas kami ni Shin. Pinaalam ko kay Gab kasi para alam mo yun, kung ano man ang mangyayari in the future, hindi naman natin alam kung ano mangyayari, at least sa akin nanggaling at sa akin niya unang narinig. Okay naman, matagal naman na kasi [silang wala].'

Since John is very vocal about wanting Rachelle Ann to be his girlfriend, it seems that it'rsquo;s only a matter of time before they take their growing romance to the next level. 'Ayoko kasing gamitin yung term na ligaw and ever since alam ni'rsquo;yo naman na talaga yun. Kasi parang best foot forward e. Pero alam naman niya na hindi naman siguro ako magte-text at tatawag sa kanya kung hindi ko naman siya gusto. Kumbaga sa akin, hindi ko kasi talaga in-expect. Ang alam ko, ang sabi ko next year [pa ako susubok magmahal ulit]. Pero biglang humabol e kaya masaya ang Pasko,' he beamed.

The fact that they'rsquo;ve already met each other'rsquo;s families is a clear sign that they'rsquo;re not just playing around. At the same time, their parents'rsquo; approval help strengthen the closeness that they have right now. 'Bukod sa maganda, sexy at magaling kumanta, nakita ko kasi kung paano si Shin sa pamilya niya at nakita ko rin sarili ko kung paano ako pamilya ko. And that'rsquo;s really important for me kasi dun nagre-reflect kung paano ka, paano family niyo
