Hindi nagmamadali si Jayda Avanzado pagdating sa pakikipagrelasyon.
Wala raw siyang boyfriend sa ngayon.
"Honestly and hindi sa pagiging showbiz, it’s really not a priority for me right now," sabi ni Jayda sa eksklusibong panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
"I mean, I guess I keep things open. I’m not gonna say never naman po, and naniniwala po ako na pag talagang gusto po ng isang tao na pagsabayin din yung career and love, puwede naman.
"Pero siguro, sa ngayon po kasi, it’s also by choice rin na I’m not really looking for anything."
Open daw siyang magpaligaw, pero hindi iyong tipong aktibo niyang hahanapin ang pag-ibig,
"I’m really just focused on achieving what I like to achieve sa career ko.
"And then, when it comes to people I get to know, I always like to look at it, siguro lalo na po ngayon sa mga natutunan ko rin po sa personal life ko po, na mas gusto kong kinikilala ko muna yung tao before really entertaining the idea of going any further than that.
"Siguro po, based on what I’ve learned, beneficial din kasi talaga when you get to know the person, kasi it just really takes time.
"Also, for certain people, kanya-kanyang timeline. Naniniwala po ako na some people know when they know.
"Being in the side of caution, lalo na po pagdating sa dating and lovelife po sa generation ko ngayon, mas maigi pong maging cautious and to get to know them and their intentions better before pursuing a relationship."
Si Jayda ay kaisa-isang anak nina Dingdong Avanzado, 55, at Jessa Zaragoza, 45.
Nakapanayam ng PEP si Jayda sa sidelines ng presscon para sa concert ni Dingdong na Dingdong Avanzado, The Original Prince of Pinoy Pop.
Ginanap ang presscon sa Limbaga 77 Restaurant, sa Quezon City, noong July 3, 2024.
Ang 37th anniversary concert ni Dingdong ay magaganap sa The Theatre at Solaire sa July 19, Biyernes.

JAYDA ON IDEA OF SETTLING DOWN
Inamin ni Jayda na noong bata siya ay naisip nitong gusto niyang mag-asawa at magkaroon ng sariling pamilya sa kanyang early 20s.
Ang ina ni Jayda na si Jessa Zaragoza ay 22 taong gulang nang magpakasal sa ama niyang si Dingdong Avanzado.
Pero nag-iba raw ang perception ni Jayda ngayong siya ay nasa 20s na.
"I do realize that my mom’s situation and where she was at during that point in her life, sobrang magkaiba po kami ng time.
"I guess ngayon, we’re in a different situation, bilang nasa early 20s ako, I’m nowhere ready and [I don't] want to be there yet, and I think that’s okay.
"Sa akin po, whenever the timing feels right, I think I will know it.
"Ang dami ko pa po kasing gustong gawin sa sarili ko po. And gusto kong marating yung things I wanna do with my personal life before settling down."
Sabi rin niya, "Wala po akong specific timeline."

ON HAVING KIDS
In the future, gusto rin ba ni Jayda na isa lang ang maging anak?
Sabi niya: "I think I will only know when the time comes there. I don’t think I have a specific number yet, pero siguro I do see...
"After having mature conversations po with my mom, siguro po kasi bilang may edad na rin po ako, parang yung mga deep talks namin pag tungkol sa mga ganitong bagay, makikita ko rin po yung parang value rin in having one kid.
"Natututukan niya, not that if you have more than one kid hindi na matututukan.
"But I do believe that how everything is turned out for me and my parents, it’s meant to happen that way.
"Because of that din, they were able to give me the love and care that I needed growing up.
"I like to believe that they did their best to raise me well. I also like to make them proud and make their sacrifices worth it."
Tingin ni Jayda ay wala rin namang problema kung sakaling marami ang maging anak niya balang araw.
"I see the value in both, I will only know kapag nandun na ako," sambit niya.
