MANILA – Those who have seen the movie “Once A Princess” cannot deny the strong on-screen chemistry between the film’s stars, Erich Gonzales and JC De Vera. Sparks flew between the two, prompting some to quiz Erich: Did this make her real-life non-showbiz boyfriend jealous?

“Hindi naman [siya nagseselos]. Na-meet na niya (JC) si boyfriend nung nagpa-block screening siya so na-meet na ni boyfriend si Enchong and siya,” Gonzales told ABS-CBN News reporters in an interview.

“Si boyfriend, supportive lang siya,” she said; adding that she is fortunate to have such a secure boyfriend, who understands the nature and requirements of her work.
Gonzales stressed that there is nothing for her boyfriend to be jealous about, as she and De Vera are just good friends, on and off camera.

“First time namin magkatrabaho sa ‘Once A Princess’ and masasabi ko talaga na naging magkaibigan kami kahit after the movie. Si JC kasi, magka-wavelength kami pagdating sa trabaho. Pareho kaming gusto lang mag-work ng mag-work. Siya din napakasipag niya. Wala siyang reklamo, dumadating siya sa set ng ready. Nakakahanga ‘yung ganun,” she said.

Gonzales and De Vera are slated to share the screen again in the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Shake Rattle and Roll.”

When asked she and her boyfriend had plans of settling down Gonzales pointed out: “Siyempre ‘pag usaping future, kung sino ‘yung kasama mo, siyempre siya na ‘yung nakikita mo dun. Pero hindi naman namin minamadali ‘yung mga bagay bagay. Siyempre pinagdadasal namin ‘yun.”

“Hindi pa [ako ready]. Matagal pa. Marami pa tayong gustong gawin sa buhay. Alam din naman ni boyfriend ‘yun. Kaya naman maghintay,” she added.
