Jewel Mische apologizes for her confusing statement about Richard Gutierrez

There have been a lot of speculations about the real score between Jewel Mische and Richard Gutierrez after the former'rsquo;s surprising revelations during the press con of Buhawi Jack last Tuesday, January 18. But in her latest interview with ABS-CBN reporters, Jewel clarified that it wasn'rsquo;t her intention to mislead the local press when she talked about her past relationship with the Kapuso actor. 'It was a big mistake. It was a mistake to mention his name, it was a mistake to even entertain questions about him. I want to say sorry for making people confused because of that interview,' said the newly transferred Kapamilya star.

Jewel didn'rsquo;t expect that her light banter with the local press that night would be blown out of proportion. 'Kasi po I was happy that moment. I was being very, very playful. I admit I was playful with my words and that made a lot of people confused. I apologize for that.' And for those who are wondering whether she'rsquo;s single or not, the young actress stressed that she'rsquo;s open to dating right now. 'What I really meant when I said that my love life is alive is that it is really alive because I am free. I am free to go out, I am free to date, so that'rsquo;s all about it.'

When asked if she'rsquo;s free to date her Buhawi Jack co-star Gerald Anderson, she said that she'rsquo;d rather focus on performing well for their first series together. 'Does he want me to (laughs)?'nbsp; All I can say now is that as my leading man, kumportable ako sa kanya. He'rsquo;s a gentleman, he'rsquo;s polite, and maalaga. Right now I am just excited kasi January 22 na yung pilot episode ng Buhawi Jack, lalo na because this is the first time na lalabas ulit ako sa TV after a long while. So I hope magustuhan ng viewers,' she stated.
