“Hindi naman. But there were times na ‘yung mga nagsusuporta sa amin, they would think na kami. Parang ganoon ‘yung talagang nakikita nila during the time na we were having love team performances, but we were really good friends,” he explained.
When asked whether he had ever pursued Julie Anne romantically, Elmo clarified that he never did, noting that they were both focused on advancing their careers at the time.
“Not really. We both have the same vision. I really admire her work ethic—sobrang sipag, sobrang responsible. She’s a very talented woman. I think we were just really too young to really give what the supporters wanted,” he shared.
He added that their performances were driven by their love for performing together, not by fans’ expectations of a romance. “We were really doing it because we both enjoyed performing, pero it just got to a point where people are looking for something more,” he said.
Although they no longer keep in regular contact, Elmo mentioned that he and the singer-actress recently crossed paths at an event and shared a brief greeting. He also remains open to collaborating with her in the future.
Julie Anne and Elmo starred in several GMA projects, including the 2012 romance-drama film Just One Summer. As JuliElmo, their love team continues to hold a special place in fans’ hearts, even as both focus on their individual careers today.
