After being named the Top Most Beautiful Face in the World by UK-based independent critic TC Candler, actress Andrea Brillantes candidly shared her thoughts on her current love life during an interview at the Star Magic Spotlight event.

While Brillantes admitted that she’s received attention from suitors, she revealed that her focus remains on personal growth. “Before naman ako naging Most [Beautiful Face], meron naman na rin talaga,” she said with a laugh, adding, “Pero hindi kasi ako nakaka-focus doon lalo na last year. Inaamin ko iyun na, ‘Sorry, I don’t really date,’ and hindi iyun ang hinahanap ko.”

(Before I became the most (Most Beautiful Face) there are some. But I couldn't focus on that, especially last year, I really admit that and telling them 'Sorry I don't really date' and that's not what I'm looking for.)

Reflecting on her challenges in 2024, particularly the backlash she faced after being dragged into the breakup rumors involving Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, Brillantes admitted that she is still healing.

“Mayroon po mga nagpaparamdam,” she shared about suitors, but she emphasized that she’s not rushing into anything. “I think nakakapag-heal na ako, not 100 percent kasi wala naman ganun, but ang laki na ng growth ko from last year,” she revealed.

(Some are trying. But I think I’m not healed, not 100 percent because it’s not like that, but I’ve grown so much since last year.)

Brillantes also shared a heartfelt prayer she often says: "Lord, I don’t know, maybe I can kung darating or what. Let’s see. Pero I’m open to it, and I want to be intentional with it."

(Lord, I don’t know, maybe I can when it comes or what. Let’s see. But I’m open to it, and I want to be intentional with it)

Aside from focusing on herself, the actress also talked about how she’s learned to handle negativity and online bashing.

“Hindi talaga sila mawawala e. Kahit ang pinaka-perpektong tao sa mundo, Diyos nga natin, binabash na rin, di ba?” she said.

(They won't really disappear. Even the most perfect person in the world, our God, is bashed, right?)

Instead of dwelling on negativity, Brillantes channels her energy into acting, her makeup business, and appreciating her fans.

“I always try my best to focus on positive things and the love I receive despite the bashing. There’s always something to be thankful for,” she concluded.

As Brillantes continues to grow both personally and professionally, her grounded and optimistic outlook inspires many of her fans.
