SHOWBIZ denizens are almost always a cautious bunch particularly when discussing personal affairs.
Then again, there are times they are only too willing to open up, answering even the most inane of queries in the name of fun.
That’s exactly what actress Aiko Melendez allowed us recently.
Here’s an excerpt:
You look quite happy…
“Well, it’s because I am. I’ve never been happier (Smiles).”
We’re pretty sure this is probably because of Jay Khongkun (Aiko’s current boyfriend who is also Subic Mayor).
“I would say so.”
Do you think he is ‘The One?’
“I do hope so…’yun ang prayer ko.”
Is marriage already in the offing?
“We’re talking about it pero wala pang definite sa ngayon. Hindi ko naman ipagdadamot sa inyo ‘yun kung sakali. Malalaman at malalaman ninyo ‘yan.”
And how’s his relationship with your kids?
“They’re good. Very close si Jay kay Andrei (Aiko’s son with ex-husband Jomari Ylanna).”
“Close din ako sa anak niya at sa rest ng family niya.”
How does Jomari feel about this?
“I don’t know. We don’t talk, actually. Hindi kami naguusap at ayaw ko na rin siya pagusapan hangga’t maari.”

Aiko stars in “Rainbow’s Sunset,” one of the Magic 8 entries in this year’s Metro Manila Film festival (MMFF).
