Yassi Pressman denied rumors of a romance with presidential son, Ilocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos, weeks after a video of them enjoying each other’s company at a private gathering went viral on social media.
Pressman, who just admitted to breaking up with Canada based-entrepreneur Jon Semira, told a 24 Oras interview on Tuesday, Aug. 15, that she and Marcos are just friends.
“‘Yung mga nakikita ko po (na balilta) kay Sandro [Marcos], hindi po ‘yun totoo at all. Tawang-tawa nga po kami (The reports linking me and Sandro Marcos are not true at all. We find those funny),” she said.
The actress then noted that their viral video, which has since been taken down from @_kitkatsz’s Tiktok page, added malice to their friendship due to the use of certain editing effects.
“Nalagyan lang po ng malisya dahil na-slow mo, nalagyan ng music (It just added malice because the video had a slow-mo edit and music),” she pointed out.
During the interview, the “Kurdapya” star also revealed that she and Semira have been separated for quite some time, although she didn’t clarify how long it has been since their split.
“Sa totoo lang, matagal na po kaming naghiwalay. I’m very, very grateful to Jon. He’s a great person, sobrang mabait po talaga. Pero sana, people just respect our privacy and siya rin po, he’s a very private person,” she said. (Honestly, we’ve broken up a long time ago. I’m very, very grateful to Jon. He’s a great person, he’s very nice. But I hope that people just respect our privacy and he’s a very private person.)
Semira confirmed his split with Pressman through a joint Instagram post on Aug. 16, where he also denied a third party was involved in their break-up. This comes after their engagement video, which was uploaded sometime in March, surfaced on social media after it was obtained by INQUIRER.net from a source.
While both Semira and PrThe “Black Rider” star is currently linked to a scion of a political clan, Camarines Sur Gov. Luigi Villafuerte, where they’ve been spotted together on recent sightings. Despite this, she has yet to address the romance rumors between them. EDV
