MANILA -- Years after his split from former on- and off-screen partner Liza Soberano, actor Enrique Gil said he is now ready to love again.
"I think I've just been so closed out for such a long time... I always keep my heart open," Gil said in the latest vlog of Karen Davila.
"You know sometimes that's life, you just keep moving forward and just trust in God whatever comes my way. If He thinks that that's the person, then you know, so be it," he added.
When asked if he dated during the times he was on hiatus, the actor said: "I've been talking to people after such a long time. I think very late, but I think is, you know, mahirap din mag-isa, hindi ba?"

In the vlog, Gil also talked about his past relationship with Soberano, from working on screen and being real sweethearts.
Asked if he and Soberano are still in touch, Gil said: "I could say we're not that in touch but we were in touch still at times especially when important things happens in our lives. Maybe check on each other. But my life is all here, her life is there. I just wish her all the best of course. I really hope everything works out for her there and all her dreams will come true. I'm happy for whatever is going on for her right now."
Enrique also echoed Soberano's statement that what they had was a beautiful ending.
"I think the respect will always be there. I think we'll always have some sort of love for each other because we basically grew up together. That's how we are," he said.
Gil described Soberano as her childhood best friend. "I would consider that. She was my childhood sweetheart. We really had some really, really great memories and I'm just really thankful for those memories," he said.
Last year, Soberano finally confirmed the nearly three-year split with Gil.
