DARREN Espanto was grilled about his closeness to Cassy Legaspi after he brought up her name during an interview with MYX over the weekend.
But like what he always says, Espanto reiterated that the two of them are just very good friends and they go around in the same circle.
In fact, Espanto shared that “there’s no awkwardness at all” even though a lot of people are rooting for them to be together.
“That’s something that we’ve talked about even before we met in person. Like, ‘O, we have shippers now.’ The first time we met, it was a bit awkward kasi siyempre hindi pa naman kami nagkikita dati. But it’s been an ongoing thing na we talk about,” he said.
While admitting they did not expect the teasing to last this long, Espanto said they are just happy that people are there to support both of them individually as well.
When asked if he feels uncomfortable when Cassy’s twin brother Mavy calls him his brother-in-law, the young singer said: “Ongoing joke din ‘yun. We are all used to each other joking around like that. It’s really part of our friendship na talaga.”
Espanto, however, was able to evade the question when directly asked if there’s a chance for him and Cassy to become more than friends.(ABS-CBN)
