Mendiola and Manzano were last spotted together during the Star Magic Ball last month.

Asked if they are dating, Manzano said: "Our smiles speak for ourselves. Iyong interview niya sa 'Tonight With Boy Abunda,' and our interview with your guys, it leaves a smile on our faces. And for me, that's the most important thing. We are jolly, we are ecstatic over what we have between us right now."

Manzano added that he and Mendiola have decided to take their time in this relationship. "There's a reason why we are letting everything fall into place," he said.

The two are long-rumored to have been dating, with some even tagging Mendiola as the reason behind the breakup of Manzano and actress Angel Locsin. Manzano has since cleared Mendiola's name, but has still refused to detail his split with Locsin.
