LOOK: Is Paulo Avelino dating this model? | onlinebloggerph

MANILA - Paulo Avelino is keeping rumor mills churning. 

He was seen last week stepping out with model Natasha Villaroman, sparking speculations that he is back on the dating scene.

Avelino was asked by reporters on Thursday about the rumors.

Without denying going out with Villaroman, the upcoming "Unmarried Wife" star replied: "In love ako sa mga motor ko ngayon. Iyun ang nagpapasaya sa akin ngayon!"

He did admit that he is once again dating, but refused to identify the woman. "Ayaw ko lang pangunahan yung mga haka-haka o mga lumalabas na isyu. Siyempre, gusto rin nating lahat ng tahimik na buhay. Ayaw ko lang na may mga nadadamay at naaapektuhan."

Avelino also asked for privacy for Villaroman. "Huwag na muna natin siyang idamay. Kasi, kawawa naman yung tao, wala siya sa industriya natin. At alam mo ‘yon? Baka maapektuhan din pati pamilya niya.”

Aside from being a commercial model, Villaroman appeared in the Gino Santos' 2013 indie film "Island Dreams."
