For months now, the real score between Rhian Ramos and Mo Twister's relationship remained a mystery.

In an earlier interview with Yahoo! Southeast Asia, the DJ-TV host said he's trying his best to win Rhian over.

On Tuesday, March 1, Rhian sat down with Yahoo Southeast Asia to finally answer lingering questions on the status of her relationship with Mo.
"We are dating. I don't know. Nothing too serious, nothing very official pero I'm not the type of person that dates like two or three guys at the same time so I'm keeping it exclusive," Rhian clarified before the pocket interviews for GMA News TV's newest entertainment show, “In the Limelight.”

Meanwhile, the success of her latest movie with on-screen partner Richard Gutierrez was a pleasant surprise for her.

"I was really happy about the turnout of the movie. I actually had a fear going into it because maybe people will be sick of seeing the two of us together but that wasn't the case. I was really pleasantly surprised. Some of the bosses in GMA Films were joking with me na dapat daw magka movie na ulit kami ni Chard pero there was no formal discussion. It was merely joking around with me."

Rhian Ramos takes her new role as showbiz newscast reporter seriously

"I'm not really a host, I'm a reporter. I have a lot of friends kasi na kahit sila nagre-report ng showbiz news. So I study them. I see how they handle it. Not naman to ask for advice kasi we can't naman all have the same style, 'di ba? Pero it helps talaga a lot na kasama ko si Aubrey Carampel and Nelson Canlas kasi they have made a name for themselves in showbiz reporting," said Rhian Ramos about her GMA News TV program titled In the Limelight .

Actress-host Rhian Ramos feels that hosting a showbiz talk show has advantages for her rather than disadvantages.

"Actually sa tingin ko it's a strength kasi it's closer to home. How can I report about something that I don't know? You can't make me read or report on something that I don't know. For example, I'm an artista, I can report about showbiz news. You can't make me report about biology or something like that," explained Rhian to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during a pocket press conference held last March 1 at the GMA Network Center in Quezon City.

Rhian is the host of In the Limelight—a showbiz newscast program aired daily at 7:30 p.m., with replays at 11:00 a.m., on GMA News TV (Channel 11).

Rhian and her passions

Despite the demands of her brilliant showbiz career, Rhian Ramos still enjoys life outside work where she gets to pursue her other passions.

Whenever Rhian isn’t busy with shooting, pictorials, public appearances and whatnot, she lets wanderlust take control by planning which country to visit next. To date, Rhian has been to USA, Singapore, China, Europe, among so many other places, for work or for play or even for both. "I love going out of the country as much as I can. I collect mugs from every city I visit," says she.

Traveling for the young actress may come across to others as if it’s as simple as going wherever at the snap of a finger and bringing home a memorabilia, but in reality, she throws herself into the whole thing head first: from studying a prospective country to which side trips to take and which sites to see once there, she has all the bases covered. "I use the Internet to research," says Rhian, who has made it a "mission" to visit a new city every year.
