It appears that a reconciliation between Rob Gomez and Shaila Rebortera won’t be happening anytime soon as conversations of the actor with his “Magandang Dilag” co-stars Herlene Budol and Bianca Manalo — which include remarks implying a sexual relationship — were shared on his social media accounts.
Screenshots of Gomez’s exchange with the two actress-beauty queens were made public on Wednesday, Dec. 20 via his official Facebook and Instagram pages, which were suspected to be hacked.
The Facebook post was immediately taken down after posting, but the Instagram post was up for about 10 hours before it was removed from the actor’s page.
The now-deleted screenshots shared on Facebook—which have been already re-uploaded by netizens on X—show Gomez and Budol’s supposed conversations about their meetings in their respective places; possibilities of Gomez getting back together with Rebortera; and an apparent pregnancy scare.
Also among the screenshots were Manalo’s messages to Gomez, with the former apparently asking the latter to meet. In one of her messages, Manalo—who’s in a relationship with Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian—told Gomez that an unnamed guy is not with her because that certain individual is in Valenzuela.

Most of the screenshots on Gomez’s Facebook page were the same ones posted on his Instagram, but another set of conversation was added—one with a certain Pearl Gonzales, whom the actor has apparently been visiting in her place.
Gonzales’ Instagram page can no longer be seen as of this writing.

Gomez on Wednesday posted on Facebook saying his “phone is not in his possession.”
Meanwhile, Manalo, Budol and Rebortera have yet to comment on he matter, as of writing.
Last August, dentist and beauty queen Rebortera introduced Amelia, her daughter with Gomez, to the public. Her revelation came after Gomez declared he was single in a “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” interview.
A few days later, Rebortera showed photos of her arm bruises from alleged domestic abuse. She also revealed that Gomez’s mother, former actress Kate Gomez, attempted to silence her and asked her to apologize for claiming she suffered “physical, verbal and emotional abuse” from the actor’s hands.
Gomez then made a public apology to Rebortera, saying she is not “an option for him to lose.” The “Magandang Dilag” actor further claimed in an October interview that the two of them have been fixing their relationship privately.
Gomez comes from a showbiz-political family. Aside from her mother Kate, the actor also hails from the Ejercito-Estrada clan. He is the nephew of Gary Estrada (brother of Kate) and grandson of the late George Estregan Jr.
Meanwhile, Manalo is the daughter of Norma Ramos, former Miss Caloocan 1970, and niece of socialite Nini Licaros, 1968 Bb. Pilipinas-International.
