Pokwang seemed to have revealed that her former partner Lee O’Brian is dating again as she quashed possibilities of them getting back together.
The actress-comedian said this after she reminded the public that she no longer sells PokLee products, her now-defunct food business with O’Brian, as per her Instagram page last Tuesday, Jan. 17.
Pokwang’s “TiktoClock” co-host Kim Atienza then appeared to have teased the comedian, saying “Pa-order nga ng [PokLee], mamang?” (Can I order a PokLee, mamang?)
“Wala na po, [may] nilalandi na siya. Hindi nag-effort na lunukin ang pride chicken para kay Tisay!” Pokwang responded. The “Tisay” Pokwang was referring to is her 5-year-old daughter with O’Brian, Malia, who they fondly call by the said nickname.
(There’s no [PokLee] anymore [because] he’s already flirting with someone else. He did not even make an effort to swallow his [pride] for Tisay.)

Another Instagram user, one @rolanviloria, then joked that Pokwang appeared to be jealous of O’Brian’s new relationship, to which she responded, “Hindi rin! Natatawa nga ako, ang cheap.” (Not at all! It even makes me laugh [because] it’s cheap.)

Pokwang then intrigued fans even more after she dropped a series of cryptic statements through her Instagram page as well. In one of the posts, she talked about “deleting some people” in her life while introducing their new pet dog.
Pokwang also responded to a netizen that goes by the handle @fairy_chef who was saddened by the comedian’s decision to remove people from her life.
“I know, right? Kaya lang kasi ‘di ko kailangan ang mataas pa sa Diyos ang pride at ‘di kami pinaglalaban, instead nakipaglandian pa,” Pokwang wrote. “‘Di niya kami mahal kaya gano’n.”
(I know, right? But I do not need someone whose pride exceeds that of God’s, and someone who flirts with others instead of standing up for us. That person does not love us, hence his actions.)

Pokwang confirmed her breakup with O’Brian last July, and has since been co-parenting Malia with him. The comedian clarified at the time that the breakup was not caused by a third party or financial issues, but because she and O’Brian “got tired.”
The former couple were earlier seen together as they celebrated Malia’s 5th birthday over dinner. /ra
