Rob Gomez has this answer when asked about his “relationship” with Herlene Budol
Kapuso actor Rob Gomez received a double-meaning question in a recent interview about his former onscreen partner actress Herlene Budol.
Rob and Herlene worked together in the series Magandang Dilag. The actor became controversial when his then-partner beauty queen Shaila Rebortero shared photos of her with bruises. With this, Rob was accused of abusing the beauty queen physically.
A few months after that, conversations between Rob and Herlene were posted on the actor’s Instagram page. Herlene was tagged as “kabit” for being linked to the actor who was known to have a child with his then-partner.
There was a conversation between Rob Gomez and Herlene Budol in which they were talking about “kain” and this created malicious insinuation among netizens.
The actor explained that his phone was stolen and allegedly, it was his former partner who posted those private conversations with Herlene and other female celebrities. In a previous interview, Herlene shared that she has moved on from the “kain” issue. She said that this did not affect her tremendously because she believed that bad publicity is still publicity.
In a recent interview, based on the article by entertainment writer Jun Lalin in Abante, Rob was asked if he still eats “hipon.” The actor laughed after the question. This obviously referred to Herlene who is also known as “Hipon Girl.”
The entertainment writer wanted to know if Rob and Herlene had a relationship with each other. Rob clarified that he had Herlene did not have a relationship and that they just became close to each other.
He also shared that the actress was supportive of him when he was going through a problem with the mother of his daughter.
“I just like to make it clear, na ‘yung sinabi ko before na puwede akong ma-develop sa ka-partner ko, malinaw ‘yung way ng pagsagot ko. Kaming dalawa po talaga ni Herlene, friends lang. Hindi po talaga naging kami,” Rob Gomez asserted.
