Sparkle released a statement on the recent issue about Bianca Manalo
Actress Bianca Manalo debunked her rumored relationship with British software developer Jonathan Sterling, who is reportedly the father of Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi’s baby.
Rumors circulated that Jonathan allegedly ended his relationship with Celeste, who is currently pregnant, to date Bianca. A source of Bilyonaryo.com claimed that Bianca and Jonathan are now together.
Bianca previously dated Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian for several years starting in 2018. Being both public figures, their relationship was quite public as well. The actress would even share their sweet moments, their travels, and even just random things that they do. However, early this year, the lawmaker said that his love life was “non-existent.”
On June 12, Bianca Manalo denied her romantic involvement with Jonathan Sterling. Her talent management agency, Sparkle GMA Artist Center released an official statement strongly denying the rumors.
The Kapuso management company clarified that the actress is currently single, not in any relationship, and has zero involvement with Celeste and Jonathan. Sparkle also urged the public to stop spreading malicious claims.
Bianca Manalo shared the official statement on her Instagram page. Several netizens showed support for her, but it was noticeable that some netizens also had their negative reactions because of Bianca’s issue with her former co-star, Kapuso actor Rob Gomez, who was known to be in a relationship with beauty queen Shaila Rebortera, at that time. Here are some comments from netizens.
Meanwhile, in January this year, a rumor surfaced, claiming that Bianca had a new boyfriend. It was alleged that, after her relationship with Sen. Win, Gatchalian, she was in a relationship with a politician, who was separated from his wife. Back then, the actress did not address this rumor about her.
