Despite worries from fans that KC Concepcion has broken up with her boyfriend, former Azkals team captain Aly Borromeo, it seems that their relationship is actually stronger than ever.

Recent rumors suggested that the two have split, with many of their followers noting that they haven't posted a photo together on their respective Instagram pages in months.

But in an interview with Pep, Borromeo denied this by saying that they're just busy with "things outside [their] relationship."

"We've been like that ever since," he said. "I guess right now, we’re working on things outside our relationship in terms of business, more on getting to the next level, working on things."

Asked about what he meant by "next level," he denied that he was talking about marriage, although he did add that he would have no problem in sharing their plans to tie the knot.

"What is important is KC and I have a good relationship, and our communication is always very good," he said.

"It's all up to her, what she wants to do. But right now, we're not talking about marriage. We’re concentrating on our personal career at the moment."

Prodded about his relationship with Concepcion's family, he described them as very "warm" and "fun."

He also shared that he's close with all of his girlfriend's siblings, especially her little brother Miguel, who also plays football.

It has been two years since Borromeo and Concepcion first revealed that they're dating.

Last Christmas, Concepcion's mother, Sharon Cuneta, welcomed Borromeo to their family, calling him her "son-out-law."
