Lito Lapid Clears the Air: No Romance W/ Lorna Tolentino
LITO LAPID – Actor-politician Lito Lapid finally addresses the rumors surrounding his relationship with Lorna Tolentino, setting the record straight once and for all.
Reelectionist Senator and veteran actor Lito Lapid has finally addressed rumors about a romantic relationship with his FPJ’s Batang Quiapo co-star, Lorna Tolentino. In an interview with Pilipino Star Ngayon, Lapid dismissed the speculation, confirming there is no romantic involvement between them.
With a career spanning decades, Lapid expressed gratitude for the continued support he receives from fans despite his age. “Sa showbiz, siguro ako na ang pinakamatandang may ka-loveteam. Mabuti tinatanggap pa ‘ko, eh lolo na ‘ko, eh. Senior citizen na, tinatanggap pa rin na may ka-loveteam ako. Isang karangalan ‘yan,” he said.
The senator also reflected on his status as one of the last remaining veteran action stars in the industry. “Icon na nga ako pagkatapos ni Eddie Garcia, eh. Pagkatapos ni Eddie Garcia, ako na ang pinakamatandang action star, kung tutuusin, 70 na po tayo at tinatangkilik pa rin,” he added, highlighting the lasting popularity of his on-screen partnership with Tolentino.
Their chemistry, especially as characters Primo and Amanda in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, continues to capture the audience’s hearts. “Parang ang tingin ko, teenager pa kami, ‘yung PrimAnda (Primo and Amanda), ang lakas-lakas, laging pinag-uusapan. Nagpapasalamat din ako sa pamilya ko, naiintindihan nila ang trabaho ko,” he shared.
According to the report, Lapid was clear about the professional and platonic nature of his relationship with Tolentino. “Si Lorna, single siya. Pwede siyang mag-boyfriend, pwede siyang mag-asawa. Eh ako, hindi na ako pwede. ‘Yung sa amin, kiliti na lang bilang love team. Kasi nga, may asawa ako, nakatali ako,” he explained.
By addressing the rumors, Lapid reinforced his dedication to his family while celebrating his collaboration with Tolentino. For fans of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, his statement highlights the genuine professionalism and talent they bring to the show.
