MANILA - "Sabi nga nila, third time's a charm (You know what they say, third time's a charm)."

This was the statement of actor Jake Cuenca as he admitted that he and model Sara Grace Kelley recently broke up for the third time -- and got together again.

Cuenca, who was a guest on Thursday's episode of the ABS-CBN talk show "Magandang Buhay," said he and Kelley continue to work on their relationship.

"Oo, nag-break kami recently ulit (We broke up again recently)," he said.

"Every day, we are working on it," he added. "Pero nakakatuwa kasi nga nakikita niya ang effort ko na magbago (I'm happy because she sees my effort to change)... And she still comes back here for me. So I just want to thank her for that."

Addressing Kelley on television, he said: "I love you, Babe."

It was in December 2015 when Cuenca and Kelley called it quits. Last June, they were spotted kissing on a beach, prompting fans to say that love is sweeter the second time around.

Looking back, Cuenca said he has never met anyone like Kelley, adding that he will never give up on her again.

"Alam ko ang worth at value niya bilang tao. Kaya naman every time na may nangyayari ay hinahabol ko siya talaga kasi mahal na mahal ko siya (I know her worth and value as a person. That's why I always make an effort to pursue her, because I love her so much)," he said.

"I've never been so proud to be a boyfriend... I'm just making the most of every day na kasama ko siya (that I'm with her)."
