MEGASTAR Sharon Cuneta opted not to let her husband, Francis Pangilinan, as well as their children – Frankie, Miel and Miguel – watch her forthcoming concert, “Dear Heart,” with her former husband Gabby Concepcion on Oct. 27.
“Pinag-usapan na namin ni Kiko,” Cuneta told ABS-CBN News. “I want to shield them away from anything that people might say. There are solid Sharon-Gabby fans up to this day.
“[But] My husband is the coolest. He’s very supportive. When this ‘Dear Heart’ concert was first announced, he simply said, ‘Sana naman matuloy na ‘yan.’ Maybe because he knows I love him very much and I never fail to show him that.”
After Cuneta and Concepcion did a spur-of-the-moment duet in Gabay Guro in 2019, the erstwhile couple never saw each other again. Neither did they get in touch with each other.
“Naninibago nga ako,” Cuneta admitted. “The concert is a brand-new experience after so many decades na may gagawin kaming dalawa and we’re working together again. Excited ako at masaya.”
Cuneta, who has been acting on TV and the big screen for 42 years, also believes the Sharon-Gabby chemistry before is something they cannot instantly act out at present.
“It has been so long that our followers have missed us together,” she said. “Kahit tumayo lang kami, may effect na. If you think about it, when we sing the songs from our movies that our followers are familiar up with and songs that we all grew up with, it will mean something.
“Chemistry is something that cannot be created. It’s either there or not. Gabby and I always have that, no matter what.”
Meanwhile, Paolo Valenciano will be stage director of the “Dear Heart” concert. Louie Ocampo will be the musical director. (Leah C. Salterio/ABS-CBN News)
