“Ayaw ko sabihin na dahil Miss Universe na siya liligawan ko siya,” said Sam in an interview on Friday. “Hindi dapat gano’n, e. If I want to go for her dapat taos-puso, hindi dahil lang Miss Universe siya.”

The Kapamilya actor added that they’ve become friends outside of showbiz, and if it had worked for them “it would be a good foundation because we have a good friendship.”

Sam has also clarified that he’s not in a relationship with Bb. Pilipinas-Universe 2014 Mary Jean Lastimosa.

“Magkaibigan lang kami,” he clarified. “I happen to see her madalas kasi she’s also friends with John Prats, so nagkikita kami lagi do’n. But in terms of nagha-hang out kami, friends lang.”

When asked about the model he’s dating, Sam would rather keep mum about their relationship for now but assured his fans to “eventually i-share ko rin ‘yon.”

Sam is part of the afternoon TV series “Doble Kara” which stars Julia Montes, and now in its new season where the twins Sara and Kara will become parents.
