Willie Revillame talked about his past relationship with Sugar Mercado
Veteran TV host Willie Revillame has directly admitted that he had a relationship with Sugar Mercado, one of his former co-hosts, and this lasted seven years.
It can be recalled that in March, 2025, Sugar admitted during an interview on the YouTube channel of talent manager-vlogger Ogie Diaz that she and Willie had a romantic relationship.
The former dancer shared that until now, Willie can’t be removed from her children’s lives and that he will be in their hearts forever. Sugar also said that she can’t say anything bad about the veteran TV host because he really loved her children.
In a recent interview for his upcoming show, Wilyonaryo, Willie Revillame answered intriguing questions from the entertainment press, based on the article in Bandera.
One of the questions he was asked was about his relationship with his former co-host Sugar Mercado. Willie openly admitted that he and Sugar were indeed a couple, but they broke up because it seemed like they weren’t meant for each other.
“Napamahal na sa akin mga anak ni Sugar, parang naging mga anak ko na rin sila. Kasi hindi ko naman nakakasama mga anak ko, du’n ako nabaling, sa mga anak niya,” Willie said.
The veteran host also shared that he spent time with Sugar’s kids, and at times, he would blow-dry their hair. He also said that this is true and there is no point in denying it.
However, he said that it was just that they weren’t really meant for each other. On the other hand, Willie said that what really made him happy was being with Sugar’s children.
The host admitted that it was like he was missing his children, and they knew about this. He also said that his children weren’t jealous because they knew that he was happy and he was fair to everyone.
“Okay lang yun, tsaka hindi mo dapat dinedenay naging karelasyon mo, kawawa naman yung babae. Totoo naman yun, hindi ako ganu’ng klaseng tao (magdedenay),” Willie Revillame said.
