Before leaving for the US, Gonzales met with ABS-CBN chief content officer Charo Santos-Concio, who is also the host of the country's longest-running drama anthology.

While in the US, Gonzales took some time to de-stress by checking out some of the popular tourist spots. She also tried skydiving in San Diego, California.

In a recent press conference, Matsunaga confessed that he still loves Gonzales, which is making "moving on" more difficult.
