Kapuso actor and TV host Paolo Contis shared his firm stance on the topic of maintaining friendships with ex-partners during an interview on ‘Your Honor’, an online show hosted by Tuesday Vargas and Buboy Villar.
When asked if exes can remain friends, Paolo was straightforward in his response.
“So ako, hindi ako naniniwala na ang mga mag-ex dapat maging kaibigan. Unless, you actually have reasons to be,” Paolo explained. “E, naghiwalay na kayo, e. I think it’s your respect to your partner, especially ‘yung partner mo. I mean nakakailang ‘yun para sa partner mo. So, ‘yung hindi kayo nagaaway okay ‘yun. Yung civil kayo, like when you see each other, ‘Uy! Hey! How are you? Blah blah,’.”
Paolo added that while being polite when meeting an ex in public is fine, actively keeping in touch is unnecessary.
“Pero friends? Like kumustahan ganiyan you had your time na magkumustuhan, bakit ngayon magkukumustahan kayo,” he said.
Tuesday Vargas noted that it can be challenging to detach emotions from past relationships, especially when someone has moved on. Paolo agreed, emphasizing that such situations can be uncomfortable and disrespectful to one’s current partner.
“Especially kung may partner ka nakakahiya. And I believe, ako, hindi mo rin gusto ‘yun, kung ‘yung partner mo ganu’n,” Paolo pointed out.
Paolo Contis has been linked to actress Yen Santos and previously had relationships with Lian Paz, with whom he shares two children, Xalene and Xonia, and LJ Reyes, with whom he has a daughter, Summer Ayana.
Paolo remains busy with his acting projects, but his honest take on relationships has once again sparked conversations among netizens.
