MANILA – KC Concepcion has finally broken her silence amid rumors suggesting she and former Azkals team captain Aly Borromeo have called it quits.

Speaking exclusively to ABS-CBN News’ Marie Lozano, Concepcion said they are currently trying to figure out what works best for them individually, and what that means to their relationship.

“We really both are very independent and I think that we will always have that connection where he knows I am there for him and I also know that he’s always going to be there for me,” she said.

“But right now, ever since the -ber months, it’s just been really crazy with soccer, with football, and his career, and then I am also launching a jewelry line and I also have all these things happening. It’s almost like we are two independent people that are choosing to just prioritize right now. I think when the right time comes, then we can really prioritize the relationship.”

Concepcion said taking a shot with Borromeo for two years was important for her, but she also noted that there are some things out of their control.

Although they still talk all the time, Concepcion said she’s “giving him that space and he’s giving me my space.”

“The good thing with Aly is that it doesn’t really get so dramatic. His mental space, his mind is really with sports and his career right now. I know that he needs that to be able to be a really good partner to have. You have to feel complete on your own to be able to be complete in a relationship,” she said.

In a separate interview with Pep, Borromeo said that they are just busy with "things outside [their] relationship."

"We've been like that ever since," he said. "I guess right now, we’re working on things outside our relationship in terms of business, more on getting to the next level, working on things."

Asked about what he meant by "next level," he denied that he was talking about marriage, although he did add that he would have no problem in sharing their plans to tie the knot.

"What is important is KC and I have a good relationship, and our communication is always very good," he said.

"It's all up to her, what she wants to do. But right now, we're not talking about marriage. We’re concentrating on our personal career at the moment."
