On August 8, Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo revealed that Jennylyn Mercado almost thought of not coming back to showbiz.
At the media event for the endorsement deal ‘Hey Pretty’ at Cloud Studios in Quezon City, which LionhearTV covered, Trillo disclosed how he and Mercado became careful when accepting projects after they had their child.
“Oo ‘yun din, siyempre, si Jen nga medyo ano eh. Noong una parang hindi niya alam kung babalik pa siya sa showbiz dahil gusto niya talagang mag-hands on hanggang sa certain point na malaki na ‘yung anak namin. Pero, siyempre, di naman pwedeng biglain ‘yun. Sabi ko, pag-isipan natin maiigi.”
He then discussed how he and Mercado balance their family time and work schedule.
“‘Yun nga eh, nahihirapan kami ngayon, kasi nagte-taping na rin siya. So every other day ‘yung ako, MWFS (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday), siya naman TThS (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). So bihira na lang kami magkita minsan sa gabi na lang, pagkagising ko siya naman ang aalis. So minsan kapag may mga tapings na di natutuloy, mina-maximize namin ‘yun.”
He then noted the support system he and Mercado had with their family in caring for their child.
“Oo naman, oo naman, siyempre kailangan talaga ‘yun kasi minsan di namin magagawa na kaming dalawa lang.”
Mercado took a hiatus from showbiz to focus on her pregnancy in 2021.
As for his endorsement, Trillo would be promoting Hey Pretty Skin products such as Hey Pretty Skin Prestige Glow and Hey Pretty Skin Tinted Sunscreen.
Joining Trillo as the newest endorser of the company founded by CEO Anne Barretto is the social media influencer Zeinab Harake, who will promote the Hey Pretty Aesthetic Centers.
