Matteo said during the press conference for the second season of Single/Single, Thursday, April 21: "You know, we’re public property. We’re public people, 'di ba (aren't we), so whenever we go out, people will take pictures."
"So, that’s really ridiculous if that’s coming from my camp," he added.
"It was nice, it was fun," Matteo said about his date with Sarah at the hot air balloon festival. “It was a free day, I blocked off because tuluy-tuloy ang taping namin araw-araw (we tape everyday)."
He is currently occupied with the TV shows Single/Single and Dolce Amore.
"So, I needed something to relax. So, yun (there), we went to [the] hot air balloon show," Matteo added.
Matteo also addressed rumors that he and Sarah got engaged and are now living together.
"Nothing. It’s all rumors, you know. Everything is fine, everything is safe and everything is good," he said. "No, we’re not living in together. It’s not true."
"No, there were rumors that came out, that we were engaged, and people were texting me, 'Congratulations.' But no, no, no, we’re not engaged," Matteo said. – Rappler.com
