Jomari Yllana On The Possibility Of Reconciling With Ex-Wife Aiko Melendez

JOMARI YLLANA is enjoying his participation in the hit afternoon soap, "The Half Sisters". "Biro mo, mahigit isang taon na, tuloy-tuloy ang trabaho namin," he says. "And not only that, ang ganda ng role ko bilang isang lalaking pinag-aagawan ng dalawang magandang babae, sina Eula Valdes at Jean Garcia na parehong mahuhusay na aktres. Tuwang-tuwa nga kaming lahat when we were informed na extended na naman kami hanggang sa Agosto. Another blessing yun, di ba?"

Off came, he says he's loveless at the moment. "Ayoko na noong pa-fling-fling lang kasi I'm not getting any younger. Tapos na tayo sa Guwaping days natin. 38 years old na ako, e. Clean living na nga ako. I don't even drink or smoke anymore. Taping lang ako nang taping, tapos, go home na, tulog. Boring nga ang buhay ko, di ba? But enjoy naman ako sa ganun. After Pops Fernandez I haven't found anyone na gusto kong ligawan, e."

For a while, there was talk that he and wife Aiko Melendez are reconciling. "We're better off as friends. Okay na yun. If we didn't succeed in making it work then, I don't think we can make it work now. Mahirap maging kami tapos pumalpak uli, mas maaapektuhan ang mga bata. Our son Andre is now 17 years old at malaki na rin yung daughter niyang si Marthena."

Is Andre joining showbiz? "Gusto niya, but we told him magtapos muna siya kahit high school. Graduating na siya. After that, if he'd really want to try showbiz, we'll support him."
