Jeric Raval confirms daughter AJ and Aljur Abrenica’s relationship: ‘Nagmamahalan daw sila’
After a series of speculations, Jeric Raval has confirmed that his daughter AJ is in a relationship with Aljur Abrenica.
In an interview with an online publication, the veteran actor said that he and Aljur have talked about the real score between the two. “Basta nasa ayos lang ang lahat. Nagkausap na naman kami. Una ko siyang nakausap sa PDEA office. Mayroon kaming presscon nun at the same time, pictorial din. Hinatid niya ang anak ko dun, nakipag-usap naman siya sa akin,” he said.
“Lalaki namang kausap yung tao, mabait naman. Tinanong ko lang naman sa kanya kung siya ba ay hiwalay. ‘Opo.’ ‘Ano ba ang plano mo sa anak ko?’ Sabi niya, nagmamahalan daw sila. ‘Eh ‘di magaling,’ sabi ko. ‘Yung tipikal na tinatanong ng isang ama,” he continued.
Jeric then reacted to the bashing and criticisms surrounding his daughter, who has been tagged a “mistress” by some netizens. “Pag naririnig ko ang mga yun, pasok na lang dito, labas na lang dito,” said the action star.
“Buti nga wala akong social media eh. Wala akong Facebook, wala akong lahat, ni Instagram. Sabi ko nga sa anak ko, ‘Yung relasyon niyo, anak, sa ayaw at sa gusto mo, damay ako diyan.”
“Laging mababanggit ang pangalan ko. Laging tatanungin, ‘Ano ang reaksiyon mo? Ano ang payo mo?’ Sinasabi ko sa kanya lagi, lalo na dun sa lalake, kailangan lahat nasa tama, nasa ayos,” he continued.
AJ was first romantically linked to Aljur after the latter’s ex-wife Kylie Padilla confirmed their breakup in July. AJ later revealed that she’s been going out with Aljur, but denied that she was the reason for their split.
