Palad is Rose’s first public relationship since her split with her ex-husband Eric Villarama in 2016. In an interview with Philippine Daily Inquirer earlier this month, Rose admitted that she initially felt uncomfortable with her and Palad’s 10-year age gap but she was eventually moved by his sincerity.
Rose left the country in 2020 to go to the United States where she now works as a chef in California. JB
