Jericho Rosales denies dating Cristine Reyes

MANILA - Hunk actor Jericho Rosales shot down speculations that he is romantically involved with sultry actress Cristine Reyes.
In an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com during the launching of his newest album titled "Change," Rosales stressed he is not dating Reyes whom he worked with in ABS-CBN's "Kahit Isang Saglit."
The actor admitted he and Reyes hang out, but with their friends and insisted that the actress is just a good friend.
"No, no. We don't. We go out kaming magkakasama. I invited her sa birthday ko sa Magnet all of my friends," Rosales said.
The actor’s clarification stemmed from reports that he and Reyes are now constantly dating.
Reports also said that Rosales was with Reyes the night before tropical storm Ondoy devastated Metro Manila on September 26.
"Yeah actually ako ang nagsabi noon kasi magkakasama kami ng kaibigan namin sila Mark Nicdao. Lumalabas lang kami, kami nila Gabriel and wala namang ibig sabihin na. Hindi naman. Wala kaming relationship," Rosales explained. Asked if there's any possibility that his relationship now with Reyes could go beyond friendship, Rosales replied: "Not for now."
In a separate interview with abs-cbnNEWS, Reyes also brushed aside the rumors.
"Hindi siya nanliligaw nakakahiya naman sa tao," the actress said. She even denied reports that she and the actor are constantly dating.
"Well hindi naman date kasi group. I don't call it a date kasi kung date kaming dalawa lang," she said.
Reyes said Rosales is just a good friend and stressed that she's enjoying her life being single.
The actress said she and Echo are going out with their friends but nothing is so special about it. Back with Heart
Rosales also denied reports that he and former long-time sweetheart Heart Evangelista have reconciled and are now back in each others' arms.
"I saw Heart a couple of months ago. 'Yon ang inakala nila. ‘Yon ‘yong nag-ayos kaming talaga. Pero really and truly I’m single not naman lonely. Well dating? I can date, pwede akong mag-date pero wala pa. I'm open to the idea na hindi siya ‘yon," Rosales said.
Aside from promoting his album under Star Records, Rosales is also busy taping his newest series "Dahil May Isang Ikaw" with former ex-girlfriend Kristine Hermosa. Rosales, who is now known for his heroism when he rescued some of his neighbors in Marikina during the onslaught of Ondoy, again helped typhoon victims through his endorsement Extra Joss. The energy drink company on Wednesday (October 14) donated P1 million to Sagip Kapamilya Foundation.
Rosales said the money will be used to help radio DZMM's free shower project dubbed as "Kapamilya, Shower Na!"
