Looking back at their sweet, youthful memories, Eric shared a deeply relatable insight into how their innocent love blossomed back in the day.
“Bata pa kami nun,” he fondly recalled, highlighting the pure and carefree nature of their past connection.
He also proudly mentioned how he smoothly built a strong, wholesome bond with her family during that time.
“I was also close to her older sisters," he emotionally explained, noting that his romantic style was very lighthearted. "When I get into a relationship, it's really like being friends with my partner. Very playful,” he added.
What makes this highly sensational story even more fascinating is the incredible maturity he showed when the relationship eventually ended.
When his fellow "Gwapings" member Mark started dating Claudine right after their split, there was absolutely zero bad blood or toxic drama between the close buddies.
“That wasn't a problem. For me, when a relationship is over, it's over,” Eric honestly stated, proving that true brotherhood easily outlasts any complicated showbiz romance.
But the explosive revelations did not stop there. The charming actor sent massive shockwaves across the internet when he suddenly confirmed a completely hidden romantic timeline with powerhouse television host Toni Gonzaga.
Placing their secret past in order, he boldly admitted, “Nauna si Claudine, and then si Toni.”
While there were previous claims that Toni had allegedly denied their past connection, Eric calmly stood his ground to clarify the confusing situation, simply responding with, “Hindi naman kasi talaga.”
He downplayed the intensity of the issue by adding, "I just had a crush on her. We can leave it at that."
Diving deeper into his thrilling romantic adventures, he also admitted to experiencing a cute "puppy love" phase with gorgeous actress Ara, while highly praising another stunning star, Joyce, for her incredibly cool personality.
“What I like about Joyce is she's frank. She grew up in America right? So she really speaks her mind," he passionately added.
Meanwhile, he quickly shut down old rumors regarding a serious commitment with Aubrey.
“We really didn't get into a relationship. I liked her. We liked each other — it's hard to describe, but it wasn't very deep or anything. Maybe like a mutual understanding, but it didn't really become anything serious or deep," he openly clarified.
The charming heartthrob also confessed that he actually dated a regular fan during the absolute peak of his massive fame in the 90s.
“Well, noong ‘90s naman eh everyone was a fan, diba? Parang ganoon eh. It wasn’t ano…hindi naman talaga ‘yung fan na ‘yung may dala pang magazine or everything. Hindi ganoon,” he amusingly concluded.
Rising to massive popularity in the 90s, Philippine star Eric Fructuoso was a core member of the legendary "Gwapings" alongside Mark Anthony Fernandez and Jomari Yllana. Praised for his undeniable heartthrob charm, he starred in various blockbuster films and hit TV shows. Today, the seasoned actor continues to be a familiar and active personality in the local showbiz industry.
Recently, the former 90s heartthrob frankly discussed the severe mental health challenges and depressive episodes he endured after his body weight reached a staggering 220 pounds. The actor shared a funny yet eye-opening anecdote, admitting that his massive physique previously made it impossible for him to see his own lower body without looking into a mirror. Determined to bounce back after sustaining a basketball-related injury, the celebrity relied heavily on strict nutritional control and peptide therapy to restore his physical well-being. By completely transforming his daily habits, the seasoned star emphasized that attaining inner peace and prioritizing his overall wellness were the secret ingredients to his incredible recovery.
Previously, the veteran actor detailed the profound difficulties he encountered when he hit the 220-pound mark, noting its heavy toll on his self-esteem and everyday routine. During an insightful guest appearance on Kay Susan Tayo! Vlogs, he disclosed that acknowledging his quiet battle with depression served as the ultimate wake-up call to finally put his well-being first. The celebrity eventually integrated more active and wholesome routines into his daily life, relying on consistent physical workouts to heavily aid his massive physical transformation. Having successfully dropped his weight to an impressive 154 pounds, the dedicated actor is currently dedicating his time to regaining his strength and steadily building his muscle mass.
