I don’t know if she admires me the same way I admire her, but I find her very talented, and also a very, very good-natured girl. She’s given me a lot of advice as a stylist. She also likes exercising, and has an interest in acting. I feel very comfortable around her. Maybe we can date. I am not married yet, so I have a possibility with anyone.” In regards to the dinner date he had with Phoebe a few weeks ago, Ruco said, “There were many people that night, so we ultimately decided to buy food and eat it in the car.

Nothing happened that night!” Ruco explained that Phoebe was helping him with some outfit designs for his upcoming show, and she wanted to show him some samples. The “date” was very last-minute—if Ruco’s flight to Beijing wasn’t postponed, it wouldn’t have happened at all. The actor added that he does not want the reporters to disturb Phoebe, and apologized to her. “It’s not like we were going to an hourly hotel.
