Sen. Chiz Escudero Admits On Kris Aquino's Show That He's Now Going Steady With Heart Evangelista

AFTER HEMMING and hawing each time he’s asked if he and Heart Evangelista are on, Sen. Chiz Escudero finally admitted on his last day as co-host in Kris Aquino’s morning show that yes, they’re an item. To the question if she’s his girlfriend, he replied: “I would like to think so, yes.”

After his split from with Christine, “Hindi ako naghanap. Dumating lang, siguro mas maganda yung ganoon. Kasi may kasabihan na kapag mas lalo mong hinanap, mas lalo mong hindi makikita. At kung hihintayin mong maging handa ka, hindi ring mangyayari iyon. Dumating na lang, hindi inaasahan.”

As Heart herself told us, it was Sen. Miriam Santiago who’s their matchmaker. He said the fact that they come from different worlds helped a lot.
“Wala siyang kinalaman sa pinanggalingan ko, sa mundo kong ginagalawan ko ngayon, that’s very refreshing. Mahirap yung kakilala mo lahat. Maganda yung bago, walang kinalaman sa nakaraan mo, wala ka ring kinalaman sa nakaraan niya. Walang kinalaman yung mundo niya sa mundo ko. Kaya kapag tuwing nagkikita kami, parang sanctuary siya.”

This, of course, is not totally true, since so many showbiz denizens are now politicians themselves and many politicians are also involved in showbiz.
