The comedian then turned to Brent and asked, "Nakailang girlfriend ka?"

"Dalawa," the actor answered before clarifying, "Dalawang seryoso."

When Vice asked how long those relationships lasted, Brent said one lasted three years while the other was around a year and a half.

"May 3 years," he said.

Asked about the other relationship, he replied, "Parang 1 and a half," before clarifying that it was around 18 months.

The conversation became more playful when Vice asked about shorter relationships. Brent said some lasted only a month or two.

"Ano lang eh, buwan-buwan lang. Iba-iba," he initially said.

Vice quickly picked up on his wording and joked that it sounded like he had a different girlfriend every month.

Brent reacted, "Grabe ka," before explaining, "I mean, isang buwan, dalawang buwan, iba-iba."

The host then tried to get more details and asked who the last one was. However, no name was revealed during the exchange.
