Bela shared that they decided not to date since they live in different countries and they were pursuing their respective careers at that time. "Hindi kami nag-date kasi inisiip ko artista ako sa Pilipinas. Hindi naman ako titira sa Switzerland, nagtatrabaho ako. Siya rin pa-start pa 'yung life niya, kaka-graduate niya pa lang so hindi naman siya lilipat din ng Pilipinas."
