Alex Castro shared that he has already settled his issue with ex-girlfriend Jef Gaitan. Alex was recently embroiled in a controversy when Jef posted on her Facebook and Instagram account that she caught the actor with her Banana Split co-star Sunshine Garcia in the latter’s condominium.

In an interview with Push.com.ph at the press conference of his new movie Upline Downline held on June 18, 2015, Alex once and for all stressed that he was no longer with Jef when he was dating Sunshine. “Yeah actually hindi lang talaga ako nagsalita after nong issue kasi nirerespeto ko si Jef bilang naging girlfriend ko siya at matagal rin kaming nagkasama at nagkarelasyon kaya hindi ko ma-control kasi kung ano ‘yung feeling niya ng time na ‘yun pero one thing is for sure, nag-break na kami ni Jef nong naging kami ni Sunshine. January nakipag-break si Jef sa akin and then si Sunshine naging kami nong March na kumbaga ‘yon ‘yung nililnaw ko na hindi ko pinagsabay.”

He said that he just chose not to speak up about the matter because he wanted to respect Jef’s feelings that time. “Pero hindi ko na lang sinagot kasi ayoko ng lumaki dahil ‘yung respeto ko sa kanya dahil ayaw ko naman kasing maging showbiz ‘yung buhay namin ‘di ba? So sana nga hindi na lang niya ginawa ‘yung ganon pero hindi ko naman masisisi dahil emotions niya ‘yun kaya ‘yun after non hindi ko na muna siya kinausap eh tungkol diyan pinalipas ko mun hanggang sa okay na siya.”

Alex shared that he has already cleared things out with Jef and that they are already on good terms. “Nagkaroon kami ng chance na mag-usap about the issue, bakit siya nagalit at naintindihan ko naman at ako naman naitindihan din niya naman ako kung bakit. Alam din naman niya na hindi ko siya niloko, ‘yun lang ‘yung malinaw, walang lokohan na nangyari ang ano lang is hindi lang siguro naging fair siguro sa kanya is mag kakilala at magkasama sila sa trabaho na hindi niya in-expect siguro, nadala lang siya ng emosyon niya dahil don pero nag-kausap na kami, nagkapatawaran na kami, nag-sorry na ako sa kanya, nag-sorry na siya sa akin, okay na kami, kumbaga masaya na ako, masaya na siya sa buhay niya ngayon.”
