Paolo then shared that their fights would become frequent. He also admitted that he didn’t take notice of the actress’ mental health.</p><p dir="ltr">“Hindi. Somehow, medyo matagal na kaming hindi okay ni LJ. Pero we were together of course. Napapadalas yung away and everything, I think it’s a combination of the stress sa pandemic. One of my biggest mistakes was hindi ko inalala yung mental health ni LJ, isa yun sa feeling ko naging simula ng downfall namin,” he shared.</p><p dir="ltr">Paolo went on to share in the interview with Boy that he also wasn’t informing LJ about his whereabouts, which resulted in bigger problems for the former couple. He didn’t give any more information as to what problems they were having at the time.</p><p dir="ltr">“Yung pagdidiskarte ko ng sarili ko. Hindi ko na iniinform sa kanya &#x27;yung mga bagay-bagay which led to bigger problems… hindi kami nag-uusap ng maayos,” he continued.</p><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/1/29/paolo-contis-ipinaliwanag-kung-bakit-hindi-nagbibigay-ng-sustento-sa-kanyang-mga-anak-1416" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Paolo Contis, ipinaliwanag kung bakit hindi nagbibigay ng sustento sa kanyang mga anak</strong></a></div><p>He then admitted that he and Yen are now in a relationship.</p><p dir="ltr">The former child actor maintained that he and Yen were still friends during the time they were spotted in Baguio together back in 2021. He defended himself that LJ was already in the US when her interview went out.</p><p dir="ltr">“Yung as a friend, yung nag Baguio kami ni Yen, nasa States na sila LJ nun. Nag mukhang baliktad because your interview with LJ came out. Pero wala na kami sa Baguio nun so feeling ng tao, habang iniinterview si LJ, nasa Baguio ako. At least ten days na sila ng nasa States,” he said.</p><p dir="ltr">Paolo is focusing on his relationship now with Yen, admitting that he knows they couldn’t please everyone with the announcement. He hoped that people would understand his truth.</p><p dir="ltr">“Sa amin kasi kumbaga is what you see is what you get naman eh. Di naman namin pwede ipilit yung tao to be happy for us, di naman namin pwede ipilit &#x27;yung mga tao na paniwalaan yung gusto nilang paniwalaan sana lang isipin nila na kung ano lang yung nakikita nilang naka-post, &#x27;yun lang y&#x27;ung truth na alam nila,” he remarked.</p>
