Not a lot of celebs reveal that they are in a relationship, afraid it would turn off fans. Jake is someone who feels no need to keep his relationship with Bea Binene a secret. He told Pep.ph that being asked about it is inevitable, and he chooses to be out in the open with it because it is hard to hide things like that. Besides, he says that no one is really affected with his relationship and he is able to balance both his career and love life, so there’s really no problem. Bea’s a lucky girl then.

The fights aren’t scripted.

The Kapatid star shared that his camp had problems with the billing for his movie Mumbai Love when a sample poster leaked in Facebook, because Jayson’s name came before his. When his parents asked the producers about it, they said they’d take care of it but nothing happened. Everything’s okay with Martin now. In a news report in Pep.ph, he shared that maybe that’s just their style since they are new filmmakers.
