The actress reflected on their romance, revealing the initial hesitation, the beautiful nature of their bond, and the difficult question that ultimately led to their separation after being together for 2 years.
"We were going out na before when I was a dalaga," she shared, recalling their early interactions. At the time, she noted his high-profile position, saying, "He was the Vice Mayor of Makati then, parang I cannot. I won't be able to keep up, but we were still friends until we got to work with each other."
Their relationship only evolved when circumstances aligned later, Picache explained that they started working together, and both were single at the time. "He was single, I was single and lock in yun eh. Sabi ko nga baka taping thing lang ito, when you're always together, ganyan, but no, he persisted so mga three months. It was a big adjustment and so I said, sige na nga, why not?"

When asked to describe the relationship, the veteran actress called it "beautiful." However, she hinted at the sobering realization that led to their breakup. As an adult, she approached the romance with a pragmatic maturity, needing to know if it was leading toward a permanent commitment.
"It was beautiful, but somewhere along the way, you know you have to admit, kasi I am not getting any younger and I have to admit, are you seeing this until the finish line or not?" she revealed, indicating that the desire for long-term clarity was a key factor in their conversation about the future.
Despite their breakup in 2023, Cherry Pie confirmed that she and Edu have maintained a friendly relationship today, though it took some time after the split to reconnect. "We didn't talk for about two years." However, a recent, unexpected encounter helped ease any remaining tension. "We saw each other recently," she confirmed. "So when I saw him finally, I was so relieved kasi we are still the same." The moment provided a much-needed closure, leaving no bitterness between them: "Sabi ko nga, 'Hay salamat, at least wala ng samaan ng loob,'" the actress said in the interview.
