Patrick wishes Jennylyn would find true love
MANILA, Philippines – Now that Jennylyn Mercado, his former sweetheart and mother of his son, Alex Jazz, has found a new love, Patrick Garcia wishes nothing but the best for her.
“I wish her the happiness and I wish her success because she’s the mother of my kid. And of course, wala akong hangad o ginugusto sa kanya na masama. Lahat gusto ko okay, lahat positive," said the returning Kapamilya actor in a recent interview on "Kris TV."
"And I wish makahanap din siya ng lalaki na mamahalin siya nang tunay and mamahalin 'yung anak namin.”
Jennylyn and Patrick were a couple for over a year in 2007. When they broke up, he reportedly refused to communicate with her who was then pregnant with his son.
A ‘public’ breakup
Recall that their breakup was mired in controversy, which even involved Patrick’s mom, Bing Garcia, and Jennylyn’s manager, Becky Aguila. But three years since they parted ways, the former matinee idol maintains that he only learned their relationship had come to an end through a TV interview that Jennylyn granted.
Garcia said: "When I saw [the interview], I was [like] ‘Ah, kaya pala hindi ko na siya [Jennylyn] ma-reach. Hindi ko na siya matawagan sa cell phone.’”
Patrick added that he had wanted to set things straight between them, but the actress stood by her decision.
“I tried talking to her. Actually, we met up a few times. I tried, you know, winning her back, but she seems very ano na eh, nakapag-desisyon na siya na ayaw na niya eh," he explained.
Despite this, he said he and Mercado have maintained a civil relationship for the sake of Jazz.
In fact, he said he was grateful to the “Protégé” host for giving him an opportunity to become a part of their son’s life.
“I could see him anytime, any day. I pick him up from school, sometimes I bring him to school. And there’s a time na he stayed with me for two weeks or one week, and Jen allowed that,” he said.
