Here’s What John Prats Said About Heart Evangelista During Their Teen Love Team
JOHN PRATS – Actor John Prats didn’t hold back as he shared amusing and honest memories from his time as a teen love team partner with Heart Evangelista.
John Prats recently looked back at his early showbiz days, particularly his time as a love team partner with Heart Evangelista, who would later become his real-life girlfriend. In an interview with Luis Manzano on the latter’s YouTube vlog aired on July 1, the actor-director shared honest and humorous memories from their past partnership.
“When ‘G-mik’ started, I didn’t have a love team… I enjoyed that because I didn’t have to think about anything. I didn’t want to be in a love team,” Prats confessed, admitting that he was initially uninterested in being part of a tandem. Despite his reluctance, the network eventually paired him with several actresses before finding the right match in Evangelista.
“I was surprised when Heart became my loveteam partner. I initially didn’t want to be in a team-up with her because she was so finicky when we were young,” he said, laughing alongside Manzano. “Heart was very finicky when it comes to her makeup and caboodles when she was young. Our personalities were completely opposite,” he added.
Prats also disclosed that there was “no attraction at all” when they first met. “But it was warmly welcomed by fans,” he noted. “So our love team really worked because of their support.” The on-screen chemistry between the two became a hit, and the audience’s love for their pairing outweighed any initial hesitations.
John Prats admitted that their love team didn’t face much backlash—only “reporters” who allegedly wrote inaccurate stories. After their reel and real-life breakup, which lasted around two years, Prats experienced career challenges but maintained his friendship with Evangelista.
Interestingly, Heart later played a role in his real-life romance with his now-wife, Isabel Oli. “When I was courting Liv (Isabel), I went to her filming set not knowing that Heart was her co-star. It was my first meeting with Heart after a very long time,” he recalled. “In all fairness to Heart, she rooted for me and Liv. She backed me up on courting Liv,” he said, showing how their bond endured despite the past.
