The Megastar laughs off rumors about Sen. Kiko Sharon Cuneta: ‘I never doubted my husband’

Senate Majority Leader Kiko Pangilinan and Megastar wife Sharon Cuneta recently hosted a thanksgiving party to personally thank friends from show business for the support extended to Kiko’s independent senatorial candidacy.

“We express our gratitude to our friends in showbiz for going out of their way to help us be of service to the people once more,” Kiko said. “During the most difficult times of the campaign season, the support of Mother Lily (Monteverde) especially, and of so many artists and members of the showbiz press had gave me, Sharon and the rest of the family the confidence to move ahead with our fight for new politics in our country,” he added.

He further continued, “I am grateful that the industry that has been so kind to my wife has also been very kind to me. We are inspired by their trust, and we can only compensate this with hard work and dedication in the Senate.”

The members of the movie press were touched by the gesture of Sharon and Kiko in hosting a thanksgiving party for them that was held at the newly opened branch of La Mesa Grill in Trinoma, the new mall in Quezon City. In case you don’t know it, Lamesa Grill is owned by Kiko with some business partners. Their first branch opened in Mall of Asia last year and had been doing great so far.

Apart from the sumptuous food laid on the buffet table, we must also commend the waiters of Lamesa Grill for being polite and efficient when it came to attending to the needs of the movie press who showed up at the thanksgiving party.

The movie press also took the said occasion to ask the megastar on the various issues involving her and her husband. These include the rumor that they have parted ways, that Kiko had lived in with news anchor David Celdran, and the undying rumor that Kiko has a kept woman.

Of course, Sharon denied that she and her husband have parted ways, laughing off the rumor and even asking where the “tsismis” originated. Sharon expected that the movie press would pick up the news and write about it also.

“If you are one of those few press people who are close to me, you can even ask me directly about the issue and I’d certainly answer you. I feel bad for those who are spreading the rumors because I believe that what goes around comes around,” said Sharon. “I mean, if Kiko really has a mistress in this day and age of texting and e-mailing, and when you can already take a video through your cellphone, don’t tell me kung totoo iyang rumor, wala pa tayong solid evidence, di ba?”

Sharon even told Kiko that should there be evidence to prove the veracity of the rumor, especially of him supposedly having a kept woman somewhere, she would like to investigate it herself. “It would be normal for a wife to ask her husband about a rumor like this but I never doubted my husband. As a showbiz personality I am used to being linked to somebody or tapos na ang relasyon, pinipilit pa rin buhayin. If you get back together, there will be rumors wanting you to part ways. That’s how lives go on in showbiz.”

Nevertheless, Sharon pointed out that as long as the rumors won’t involve their children, she would simply ignore them. “It’s just fine with me. They have tried all sorts of things to ruin us. If there’s some truth to the rumor, I’d probably bring along my press friends to investigate it. I know I could count on my dear friends from the press, the ones who’d stood by me ever since. And the ones who are really close to me, puwede akong umiyak sa kanila and tell them please don’t write about this. I know they won’t be tempted to write anything that I said is off the record,” she shared.

On the other hand, the megastar wouldn’t mind going to the extent of confronting the person who is supposedly having an affair or is flirting with her husband.

“I am an educated person and I know I am able to handle myself in any aspect of my life. I grew up in a good family. Sa mommy ko galing ang culture at sa daddy ko naman galing ang pagiging cowboy. Growing up, I had the best of both worlds. I didn’t reckon I’d be able to use these traits in showbiz,” she said.

“But if you’re getting something from me that is so precious that even my children would be affected, I won’t keep silent and take it sitting down. If there’s really a woman who’s trying to destroy my marriage, I will confront her. I will bring a TV crew and I will pull her hair. I’d tell her that she’s a flirt. I will really fight back,” the megastar exclaimed.

The movie press certainly had a blast talking with Sharon that night at the dinner that she and Kiko hosted. The megastar sure had a lot of quotable quotes.
