The Kapuso actress recently told Philippine Star columnist Boy Abunda that things are still not okay with her and her mom. “I’m not going to be pretentious,” she said, adding that she herself is not yet ready for a reconciliation. Heart said that she doesn’t want to rush things because she doesn’t want it to end like before. “Better na it takes longer, and then talagang totoo, rather than we talk tapos maging pilit lang and it will just blow up in our faces.” (Photo: iamhearte Instagram account)

The Kapuso star’s showbiz career is going great. She has two regular shows: Sunday All Stars and Bubble Gang. So what’s next for the pretty actress? She wants to do a mainstream movie, she recently told Pep.ph. She’s even ready to appear in a swimsuit for it, and is actually even preparing for it by dieting. However, she’s not yet ready to pose for the sexy men’s mag FHM because she wants to focus on her acting career. However, if ever her manager wants her to do so (coz it’d be good for her career, of course), she wants to do something like what Alice Dixson did for the mag. So yeah, she’s not yet ready.

Remember when John posted a photo in Instagram and said in the caption that he’ll already spend Christmas together with GF Isabel next time, and how she replied with, “God bless you my love!!! Blessed new year to u Hubb”? That made a lot of people assume that the two are getting married soon. However, John clarified that they are not yet engaged, jokingly saying that he’s still waiting for her proposal. Both are ready to settle down already, Isabel sharing with ABS-CBN News that whenever she enters a relationship, she’s always serious and ideally wants the relationship to end up in marriage.
