MANILA, Philippines — Speculations of Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and actress Bianca Manalo’s engagement surfaced online following their sweet photos in the city of lights – Paris, France.
But the senator has finally set the record straight that the photo mistaken as part of their prenuptial shoot was simply a souvenir from their trip.
“Hindi pa kami engaged. We’re enjoying our dating process. Hindi pre-nup ‘yun. Souvenir photo sa Europe,” Gatchalian said in a recent interview with reporters at the Senate.
“I think tapos na ‘yung getting to know. Dating na, exclusively,” the senator said of their relationship.
Rumors of their supposed engagement came about after Manalo shared last Valentine’s Day a sweet couple photo in front of Paris’ Eiffel Tower that was captioned, “Save the last dance for me”, with a heart emoji.
Manalo also shared a photo of herself captioned with a bit of advice about giving one’s heart to a man.
“Give your heart to a man who will safeguard it with his life, because he knows the true value it holds. Don’t just give your heart to anyone. Find someone spectacular and never let go,” Manalo wrote.
Gatchalian and the former beauty queen reportedly celebrated their first anniversary in November 2019.
