Muling nagmamahal si Jake Cuenca matapos nitong kumpirmahin, sa pamamagitan ng isang Instagram post noong Abril 2022, na hiwalay na sila ng dating karelasyong si Kylie Verzosa.
Ang Kapamilya actress na si Chie Filomeno ang bagong inspirasyon ni Jake.
Nang makausap ng entertainment press si Jake noong Sabado, Setyembre, 23, 2023, ni-reveal nitong ang former Pinoy Big Brother housemate at GirlTrends member ang kanyang “the one who got away” dahil nag-date na sila noon.
“In so many ways, she’s kinda like the one who got away from me kasi we dated na before, a long time ago.
“She was in It’s Showtime na, she was already dancing in Showtime. But then, nahinto the first time.
“For me, given the second time around, parang I don’t wanna let her go,” simula ng paglalahad ni Jake tungkol sa muling pagtatagpo ng landas nila ni Chie sa panahong hindi siya naghahanap ng bagong makakarelasyon pagkatapos ng breakup nila ni Kylie.
Ikinuwento ni Jake na siya ang naglakas-loob lapitan si Chie nang magkita sila sa Christmas Ball ng Star Magic na ginanap sa Sheraton Manila Hotel noong November 27, 2022.
Ikinumpara ni Jake sa isang eksena mula sa pelikula ang kanilang pagtatagpo.
“I went up to her, naglakas-loob ako. It was the Christmas Ball of Star Magic.
“It was not the plan, it’s biglaan talaga. It felt like something from a movie.
“I have so many things to do that day. I went to The Eddys with Ma’am Charo [Santos-Concio]. Ang dami kong ginawa.
“And again, I was just gonna go to the Ball just to give my respect to Direk Lauren Dyogi, say hi to the bosses and get out of there.
