Jackie Rice in a ‘cool-off’ with non-showbiz BF, but not ready to love someone else

During the pictorial and story conference of GMA-7’s upcoming drama series Kasalanan Bang Ibigin Ka?, actress Jackie Rice admitted to reporters that she and her non-showbiz boyfriend are technically in a “cool-off” situation after a recent misunderstanding.

“Mejo hiwalay kami, pero as of now friends kami. Pero tina-try namin na mag-work ‘yung dati.  Siyempre ayoko namang madaliin kasi ang tagal na namin,” she said in an interview.

Jackie immediately clarified, however, that the split-up was not caused by a third party, but a few misunderstandings. 

“May mga bagay na hindi kami nagkakaintindihan – mga maliliit na bagay nagkakaaway kami. Siyempre nagkakaroon din ng misunderstandings.  So, ngayon parang nanliligaw ulit.”

So, since she is technically single, is she willing to entertain suitors?
