Coco, Matteo end rift

Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli finally reconciled a year after their fist fight at the Star Magic Ball.

Matteo himself handed out the “Standout Award” to Coco at the 6th Star Magic Ball on Saturday, Sept.1, at Makati Shangri-la Hotel. Matteo even introduced Coco as “kaibigan ko,” which drew cheers and applause from their fellow celebrities.

It was the first time their paths crossed after last year’s headline-hogging encounter.

Hug and kiss

Matteo asked for a hug and even jokingly kissed Coco’s hand. They were all smiles as they hugged each other.
 
“It’s fun, fun. I got the opportunity to hug him, kiss his hand,” Matteo told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! and other members of the press after the event.

It will be recalled that Coco and Matteo had a fist fight in last year’s ball over the latter’s former girlfriend, Maja Salvador. Matteo, who has always wanted to make peace with Coco, feels good about their reconciliation. 

“Since dati pa naman, I’m the one always talking and approaching. It’s good. It’s very nice na lahat sa Star Magic, peace lahat, magkakaibigan. Parang pamilya kami dito, parang magulang namin sila Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) and Ms. Mariole (Alberto),” Matteo said.

How does Maja feel about the reconciliation?

“Maja has no issue with that. She doesn’t really care about that,” Matteo answered.

Matteo seems to have no time for a new love. He has a  new TV drama “Isla” an indie movie. He is also active in triathlon races. 

Matteo and Maja have remained friends.
