Valerie Concepcion admitted she is enjoying the single life again after deciding to separate from her boyfriend of over three years, PBA player Dondon Hontiveros late last year. “

Basta

I just felt that I wanted some space.

Kasi ‘di ba

we’ve been together for three years so

parang

I’ve known him since teenager

pa ako

(laughs). 19

ako nung nakilala ko siya eh.

So

ayun. Yun lang, medyo

gusto ko lang ng

space.

Siguro

I just needed a break, that’s all. That’s why I wasn’t really devastated or whatever

pero

now we’re trying to see if things are going to be okay again between us but at that time I think I really needed that space.

Kaya rin hindi ako sobrang

down.

Siyempre andun yung

sadness of course

pero ako kasi yung nag

-request eh. I wanted yun nga. He felt like it was sudden,

bakit biglaan, ganun ganun

,” she revealed.

The host-actress admitted that Dondon has been trying his best to win her back since then. “

Hindi naging

persistent

siya, hindi

understanding (laughs). Actually in the two months

na naghiwalay kami he

was really

parang

like

pinupuntahan niya ako tapos sinusundan niya ako kung nasaan ako. Kaya ngayon nag

-agree

ako

into dating him again because he’s really very persistent

talaga. Siguro

a week

niya akong hinayaan

and then after that

sobra na niya akong kinulit

and

parang sinasabi ko sa kanya, ‘Alam mo huwag na nga muna tayo mag-usap, sa

Feb

na tayo mag-usap,’ parang ganun

(laughs).

Pero ang tanong niya

if I really did need the space.

Sabi ko kasi hindi ko alam. Parang hindi ko naman nakuha yung

space

na hinihingi ko, parang ganun din

. We’re okay now so I guess it was just a phase,” she explained to

Push.com.ph

.

Valerie admitted that her daughter Fiona has already grown very close to her former boyfriend. “

Naku, maka

-Don

yun

(laughs).

Naging

close

na rin sila nitong

past year.

Kasi pag nagpapadala ng

flowers

si

Don

sa bahay, babasahin niya muna yung letter tapos sasabihin niya sa akin, ‘Mama, sabi ni

Tito

Don

ganyan,’ tapos babasahin niya

(laughs).

Pag hindi kami magkausap ni

Don,

sinasabi niya,

‘I need to talk to Tito Don.’

Parang gumagawa siya ng paraan para makapag-usap kami

also. Okay

siya na may

boyfriend

ako pero ayaw niya ako magpakasal

(laughs),” she explained.

Even though she is dating him again, Valerie admitted she wants to enjoy being officially single for now. “Actually what I wanted

sana

was to date other people also but he doesn’t want to. So

ako parang hindi ko na alam. Wala pa rin naman akong ibang natitipuhan

or

nakikita

so okay

lang hindi ko pa pinaglalaban

(laughs).

Kailan darating yung panahon na yun? Naku sa pagiging

persistent

nito baka hindi na dumating yung panahon na yun

(laughs).

Hindi ko alam

. I actually want to open my doors to other guys, but

sa ngayon wala pang dumarating eh

so I’ll just cross the bridge when I get there if

may maglakas ng loob. Siyempre

feeling

ng iba kami pa rin ni

Don so

walang naglalakas loob na manligaw parang ganun

so I think I will just cross the bridge when I get there,” she said.

Valerie is currently part of the ABS-CBN’s newest Primetime Bida series

Eboy

. “I’ll be playing the role of Olivia,

isa akong

singer

sa isang

bar

sa probinsya kung saan magtatago si

Ariel Rivera and

Eboy

which is played by Bugoy Carino and mag-fi-feeling nanay na role dito kasi ma-i-in love ako kay Ariel (laughs),“ she shared.
