Barbie Forteza shares smoother breakup with Jak Roberto, prefers direct courtship

Barbie Forteza shared in a YouTube interview with Toni Gonzaga that moving on from her seven-year relationship with Jak Roberto was smoother than expected.

Forteza attributed the ease of her transition to the healthy nature of their past relationship and emphasized it as a formative period for both individuals.

She highlighted the importance of maintaining personal growth and self-identity even in long-term relationships, stressing the significance of having 'me time'.

The actress expressed confusion about recognizing genuine interest from potential suitors due to being single after such a lengthy partnership.

Forteza stated that she now prefers directness over subtlety when it comes to courtship, indicating a shift in her approach to dating.

Since announcing her breakup with Jak in January, Barbie has been focusing on self-care, spending time with friends and family, and taking up running.

She is set to star in 'Beauty Empire', which will have its primetime debut on July 7.
