Ayon sa Kapamilya actress na si Melissa Ricks, ang boyfriend niyang si Paul Jake Castillo ang isang dahilan kung bakit blooming siya ngayon.

Kuwento ni Melissa, “Oo. Okay naman I’m very, very happy.

“I’m very blessed right now... lahat ng nangyayari sa akin.

"It’s been a good year, no doubt—a very good year for me.

"And meeting Paul Jake is the best blessing that came along also.

“Kasi I’m very… I’m secure right now.

"I feel very loved, I’m very happy, no worries. Happy to be with Paul Jake.”

Nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at Ang Latest si Melissa sa isang event ng Cosmo Skin noong August 28 sa SM Makati.

MEET THE PARENTS. Last April ay nakilala na ni Melissa ang mga magulang at kapatid ni Jake, isang reality-show star.

Kuwento ng Star Magic talent, “Oo, noong Holy Week, I went to Cebu to meet his mom and dad, his brothers and sisters.

"They’re also very nice, very humble family.

"Sana mas mapalapit ako sa kanila kasi andito nga ako sa Manila, e, kasi I’m working.

"Pero sana makabalik ako ng Cebu soon.”

Kung naipakilala na siya ni Paul Jake sa kanyang pamilya, naipakilala na rin ba ni Melissa ang kasintahan sa kanyang ina at kapatid?

Sabi ng young actress, “My mom is in the States along with my brother, pero umuwi yung kuya ko last week and na-meet niya si Paul Jake.

"And he said he is a very, very good guy.
