James Reid & Ericka Villongco Had a Bad Break-Up
Yes, their relationship started long before the Fil-Australian James joined PBB (Pinoy Big Brother). Ericka said that was the time when James Reid was still a virtual unknown. James was taking Tagalog lessons back then because he wanted to learn how to speak Tagalog. She met James when he starred with her and her sister for their first album’s music video. She said they started out as friends. James was very honest and has a unique style of courting. He was direct to the point.

She wished that they parted ways as friends, but admitted that they did not. Ericka clarified that there was no third party involved. She said that James was loyal, very faithful, very loving. Ericka also shares that she and James have the same set of friends. That is why there are instances when they bump into each other in gimmicks but unfortunately they are indifferent with one another. They don't greet nor say hi to each other.
She plays Iñigo's childish girlfriend who terrorizes Inigo's driver played by Smokey Manaloto.
