MANILA, Philippines – It looks like Ai-Ai delas Alas has moved on from her past heartache.
According to a report published on entertainment news site Philippine Entertainment Portal on Monday, September 15, the comedienne has a new boyfriend—a 20-year-old Sports Management student from De La Salle University named Gerald Sibayan.
“Opo. God bless you,” Sibayan told the news site when asked through Facebook Chat if he is in a relationship with Ai-Ai.
In a previous interview with the entertainment press, the 49-year-old actress admitted dating a younger man.
“Parati namang mas bata yung nalilink sa akin kasi first yun yung binata. Kasi kapag ka-edad ko na may mga asawa na 'yun or hiwalay, ganyan. Parati namang mas bata,” she said in an interview last July.
In his Funfare column last September 10, Philippine STAR entertainment editor Ricky Lo hinted about Ai-Ai's romance.
“There’s a certain sparkle in Ai-Ai’s eyes these days and friends are guessing that she must be in love again. I know something but I won’t preempt Ai-Ai and just wait for her to tell the world about it during her birthday bash a few more weeks from now,” Lo wrote.
Ai-Ai separated from husband of one month Jed Salang just last year. Her divorce with Salang was finalized earlier this year.
