Maja Salvador: “I’m flattered that Sam Milby finds me attractive”

Inspite Maja Salvador’s previous statement that she and Sam Milby never went out on a romantic date, she eventually revealed that they did hang out once with her family during the Star Magic World Concert Tour in the US last July. Apparently, the young actress withheld that information at first because she didn’t want to fuel the rumors between them by talking about an innocent group excursion. “Coz the way they questioned me last time, it’s if we dated. So of course, its not like that. It would be so shameful if I’ve said ‘Oh yes!’ ’Its not good right? We just hang-out with friends together with my cousins and my momski,just that. And in Star Magic we’re all super close and Sam is my friend too, so there’s nothing wrong with it,” she explained during the press con of Nagsimula sa Puso last September 16, Wednesday.

Host/talent manager Boy Abunda has said that a very reliable source informed him that Sam has a huge crush on Maja, which is why it’s not impossible for them to have a brewing romance. Maja just said she was just flattered that Sam finds her attractive. “I’m very lucky coz of so many girls, of so many beautiful and sexy actresses here in ABS-CBN, Mr. Sam Milby got a crush on me. What could I say to him? ‘Thank you, coz you admire me.’ In fairness, I also admire Sam coz he’s a very good actor. But with the idea that we have something, there’s really nothing. We’re friends. Maybe some people misunderstood it,” she reiterated.

Given the chance though, Maja admitted that she would welcome Sam as a suitor if he decides to pursue her. “Why not? If ever he courts, that’s the quetsion. But maybe Sam misinterpreted me when I say I got intimated over him [dcoz he's big star]. Its like I’m joking, ‘Wow! Sam Milby-Maja Salvador?’ I just can’t imagine a Sam Milby would got a crush on me. I would be so lucky if ever,” she explained. Since it’s important that her suitors get her family’s approval, does she think Sam can win them over as well? “There’s no problem with my family, for them to know the person and bond with him is enough for them. When my cousins had been with Sam during the tour, they just really have fun together. Coz Sam is like a kid.”
