MANILA - Award winning actor Jericho Rosales said that he is happy that he and ex-love Heart Evangelista are now in good terms after their messy breakup last year.

However, he denied rumorss that he and Evangelista have rekindled their romantic relationship. "Hindi naman. Hndi naman kami nagkabalikan," Rosales said.

Rumors had swirled that the former couple were getting back together after he and Evangelista were spotted together in public. "Lagi kaming nagkakabungguan kung saan saan. We talk, small talk. Ang maganda lang, kahit saan kami magkabungguan ay hindi na kami nagi-iwasan," Rosales explained.

The couple announced the split in March last year, after Evangelista accused him of having an affair with one of his co-stars. Rosales, meanwhile, denied the allegation, saying that Evangelista was fed with lies.

However, Rosales said he was happy that they have finally started to forget the painful experience.

"I believe that she has forgiven me, kung anuman ang bagay na nakasakit sa kanya. I [have] forgiven her, kung anuman ang mga bagay na nakasakit sa akin [doon sa] nangyari sa amin. Kung naiintindihan namin 'yon, naiintindihan namin na past is past. Tapos na yon. 'I'm sorry, you're sorry.' Sige, forigiveness is [a] good thing talaga it heals all wounds," the actor said.

Asked if Heart is still beautiful in his eyes, Rosales replied: "Heart will always be special.  Sa kanya ko dini-dedicate ang song na 'Beautiful In My Eyes.' Sa kanya 'yon and para sa inyong lahat."

Since the former 'lovers against all odds' ended their three-year relationship, Rosales has always said that he hasn’t gotten the chance to see or talk to the actress.

Evangelista was reported to have a new boyfriend, while Rosales is now being linked with singer-actress Karylle. Currently, Rosales is busy with his upcoming television series with another former sweetheart, Kristine Hermosa.
