Actress and TV host Karylle shut down swirling pregnancy rumors as she stressed that this is her third time to set the record straight.
In the latest episode of her podcast “K’s Drama,” Karylle shared that she has been “stopped on the street and congratulated for being pregnant,” despite these claims being false.
“I have to explain, of course, that I’m not pregnant. This is the third time that this news has circulated, so I knew categorically denial would be useless because you want to believe what you want to believe, and maybe you have a good feeling about congratulating me,” she explained.
Despite stressing that she is not one to tolerate fake news, the “It’s Showtime” host emphasized that this particular fake news about her is not totally “bad,” as she went on to ask how such news can be stopped from spreading.
“I think it’s not about education level; a lot of people have been fooled by this news. So I’m here to tell you once again that the news is fake. I hate fake news,” she said.
“It doesn’t seem like bad news. It’s not something that destroys my character. You don’t feel like a chismosa or chismoso person by clicking or congratulating me in the comments section. So what’s wrong with it?” continued the actress-host.
Karylle then went on to have an extensive discussion regarding the legalities and truths of dealing with “fake but not bad news” with former BIR commissioner Atty. Kim Henares.
Karylle, who’s been married to Sponge Cola frontman Yael Yuzon since 2014, first opened up about being ready for a baby one year into their marriage.
“We are ready when the good Lord says it’s time. The time will come. Everything in God’s perfect time,” she said at the time.
Amid the desire for parenthood, Karylle previously stressed that she didn’t feel being forced to have a baby by her mother, singer-actress Zsa Zsa Padilla.
“But I don’t see it as her pressuring me. When your relationship with your mother is very close, that sort of thing is never offensive… I’m sure it’s coming from a place of love,” she said back in 2018.
