Andi Eigenmann laments about Philmar Alipayo getting a 'couple's tattoo' with female friend
Is there trouble in paradise between Andi Eigenmann and her husband Philmar Alipayo?
The celebrity couple made headlines when eagle-eyed fans noticed that the two are no longer following each other on Instagram, leading their followers to speculate whether they have put an end to their six-year relationship.
The breakup rumors were further ignited when Andi posted a series of cryptic posts on her Instagram stories, beginning with a photo of 2025 being the Year of the Wood Snake.
"I just found out it's the year of the snake! I thought it was the year of the wolf in sheep's clothing!" she captioned the picture.
She later shared a video of a small child dancing to Daddy Yankee's 2004 song Gasolina with the caption, "POV: When you're one breakdown from losing it, but an Instagram quote just told you to trust the process."
The former actress shared another quote saying, "They stab you and pretend they are the ones bleeding."
After getting concerned responses from her followers, Andi delved more into the reason behind her cryptic posts and shared a screenshot of her conversation with ChatGPT, where she asked if it was "sus when a friend invites your life partner to get a love couple's tattoo with them without even filling you in or consulting you."
"That situation can definitely seem suspicious or raise some red flags. Open communication and trust are important in any relationship, so if your friend is inviting your partner to do something so personal without discussing it with you, it might feel like a breach of trust. It's worth having a conversation with both your partner and your friend to express your feelings and understand their perspectives," the AI tool replied.
The former actress then replied that she and Philmar got into a fight when this happened and the female friend "immediately comes to his rescue and invites him to do this."
However, the model and social media influencer appeared to deny that the issue was about a third party as she said that she "got a bit shocked" at some of the people who "seemed to assume it was about cheating."
"I realized my post may have been vague so will just put my first question to ChatGPT here, for clarification!" she wrote.
Andi subsequently posted another quote saying, "Took it personally because I never would've done it to you."
"Explain na lang para sure: for context, I have seen the red flags, but chose to look beyond it. Since she was already a friend before I came into the picture. Was shy to call it out to my partner. Now I realize setting boundaries in a relationship doesn't make it toxic," she captioned.
Philmar, meanwhile, seemed to confirm his conflict with his wife as he posted a brief statement on his Instagram stories.
"Kung ano man ang iyong nabasa, 'yun ay totoo. Wala nang taguan dahil mahirap," he said in his native language.
"Kilala niyo naman ako kung ano pagkatao ko, so siguro kilala niyo na kung ano siya. Hindi na kailangang pahabain pa," he said in another post.
"You all can call me a cheater and ugly now. Pero salamat sa mga taong hindi na nagmessage sa akin dahil kilala ako," he continued.
The woman who got a matching tattoo with Philmar appeared to have deactivated her Instagram account. However, photos of them flexing their "224" tattoos on their inner arm have since circulated on social media.
"2Today, 2Tomorrow, 4Forever. More than a decade of being my Lil'Bro, and one of my greatest blessings," Philmar's friend captioned the post.
Andi and Philmar first went public in 2018. They got engaged two years later and share two kids Lilo and Koa.
