Ruffa respect Lloydie more as a person

Ruffa Gutierrez

Ruffa Gutierrez commended John Lloyd for clearing her name from rumors telling that she was the cause of the actor’s recent breakup with stylist Liz Uy. Ruffa said that the actor proved that he is a true gentleman because of what he did. “I respect him more even like as a person. Without even me telling him what to say, he just volunteered and defended me and Sarah G. And he said that we really had nothing to do with the break up,” said Ruffa. She also praised John Lloyd for going out of his way to say that she is not the type of girl who would steal someone else’s boyfriend. “Thank you very much, at least, he defended me,” Ruffa said. “JL is also secure as a person. Maybe his status in the industry, too. He doesn’t need to ride on someone (for publicity).”

Ruffa though found herself in the hot seat when co-hosts Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda insinuated that there is nothing wrong with being linked to John Lloyd since they are both eligible. Kris also asked Ruffa if Lloydie is still keeping in touch with her long after I Love Betty La Fea ended. “All of them is still communicating with me, not just John Lloyd,” Ruffa reasoned out. “I don’t know if he makes an effort but we still all communicate. There’s nothing strange about it. At least he still doesn’t have a wife,” Ruffa quipped.

Kris also explained that from her point of view, people nowadays are more open-minded and that they don’t seem to mind if Ruffa and John Lloyd be linked romantically. It was also at that point that Kris openly declared that Ruffa seemed “stressed” with the topic because she was perspiring too much and rashes appeared just below her neck. Kris pushed it further when she revealed that John Lloyd and Ruffa have the same birthday, which is June 24, and disclosed that the two will be in the United States at the same time this June. “You’re going to be in America at the same time. John Lloyd said he will be celebrating his birthday in States because of the Star Magic tour. Then you (Ruffa) are also there,” Kris said.

Ruffa on the other hand, stood her ground, emphasizing that what matters more to her is that her name has been cleared from the “third-party rumor” and that she doesn’t know what the future holds with regards to her love life.
