Kim Jones is Jericho Rosales' New Girlfriend

In an interview with KrisTV, matinee idol Jericho Rosales revealed for the first time that the Filipino-British TV host Kim Jones is his new girlfriend.




While matinee idol Jericho Rosales has admitted in recent interviews that he is currently in a relationship, he continues to keep mum about the identity of his lady love. According to Echo, he is not hiding the relationship, he just "don't have a reason to introduce her sa press... or call for a presscon to introduce my girlfriend." But in an episode of KrisTV, Jericho Rosales revealed to the viewers about his Filipino-British TV host girlfriend named Kim Jones. He even showed up the photo of the apple of his eye who's according to him in a previous interview, "She's in the business din but not an artista. She's a host."

Kim Jones grew up in Australia and currently in the country to explore the possibilities of starting a career here. Aside from modeling, Kim is the on-the-scene reporter for Etcetera, the newest show of cable channel ETC, where she will "update the stylish young on the latest events, trends and fashion & beauty tips direct from the scene."


Reports say that Kim is also a surfing afficionado.  She uploaded a series of pictures while windsurfing in San Fernando City, La Union on her Facebook account. And guess who is in the background? Echo the surfer dude himself!

"My family actually loves her, super, super loves her talaga", Jericho said during the interview.

He also shared what he liked to Kim. "She's very open and inilalapit niya 'yung sarili niya sa mga mahal ko. Hindi niya ako nilalayo even doon sa trabaho ko at sa followers ko. Actually magka-tweet sila ng fans ko. They tweet each other. It's a really healthy relationship, hindi ba? We support each other. It's really nice."

Jericho said earlier that he did not named his girlfriend because he might be accused that he was being used only for Kim's popularity.

Only last December that Jericho and Kim's relationship became official. Before the Fil-British host, the ABS-CBN showbiz reporter Cesca Litton was Jericho's former girlfriend.
