MANILA - Actor and host Nico Locco has revealed that he and his girlfriend, actress Christine Bermas, have again broken up— and for good this time.

“I am happy now. Final na po. I don’t want to add many comments here. Pag private life, private life,” he said in an interview in Quezon City, Thursday evening.

“We are not talking and we won’t be talking anytime soon. [I miss her] When you love somebody hindi mawawala yan. But kailangan mo mag decision in life what is best for you as a person, for your heart,” he added. 

The pair reportedly tried to "work things out" about a month after they appeared on the "EXpecially For You" segment of It's Showtime last June, where Bermas cited explained cheating was the reason of their split.

While he opted not to comment if a third party was involved in their recent split he stressed he wishes to wish his ex well.

“Privacy niya I’ll let her have it…Wala ako comment [Third Party]. nakikita ko na image sa mind ko is wolf in sheep’s clothing… Not everybody is who they are as it seems.,” he said.

“Kasi lalaki ako. Where I come from, how I live, I just take it in the chest. I do not talk about my problems or other people’s problems. It is my respect. Ano problem nila or niya na lang I hope maging OK siya. I wish her the best sana maging better person siya,” he added. 

According to the host, one of his takeaways from the relationship is the importance of  accountability and the value of choosing the right person. 

“In every relationship may lesson. We can judge somebody for the decisions and mistakes they make but in a relationship there are two people. Everybody makes mistakes, not just the guy or the woman. The fact we own up to it and try to do better for our partner yan pinaka importante,” he said. 

“Be more careful in choosing your partner and understanding sino sila,” he added. 

Locco also shared he now opts to date women outside the industry moving forward. 

“Hindi na showbiz. If ever, process yan. I will make sure bahay sa 'kin. Ayoko mag-rush. But someone outside is better. Ang dami drama sa showbiz eh,” he added.
