I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to be strong for my baby even if he’s not there. I need it for myself,” Jennylyn said.Asked if the milk supplement former boyfriend Mark Herras gave her and rumors that Mark could be her child’s father had sparked their latest falling-out, Jennylyn said, “Obvious naman kung sino ang boyfriend ko tapos i-ku-question pa kung sino ang tatay. Ang pangit naman ang tingin nila sa akin”Jennylyn was referring to insinuations in media reports and statements from Patrick’s Patrick’s mom, Bing Garcia, on Mark’s gesture.

“Because of that (milk supplement), it would appear Patrick could not provide…I’m not saying what he did was wrong, that he had bad intentions. But other people would put color into it. See, because of a box of milk, the baby is not Patrick’s anymore),” Bing told “Startalk” in a separate interview.Jen also admits that she was badly hurt about Patrick’s “No Comment” answer after being asked in The Buzz last Sunday, February 17 if he is the real father of Jen’s baby.Jennylyn appealed to Patrick: “I always remind him that I need him whenever I go for a check-up. I always need him to be by my side, to take care of me. Even just a phone call would do. He doesn’t need to come here. He can just a call or just ask how I’m doing.”Asked if she still wanted to mend her thinning ties with Patrick, Jennylyn said: “Yes. For our sake, I will wait no matter how long it takes just to settle this. I hope we could talk soon and settle what needs to be settled.”Meanwhile, Patrick refused to air his side on “Startalk,” saying his silence was for the best of Jennylyn.
