Amid speculations on Kathryn Bernardo’s relationship status, her mom Min Bernardo set the record straight, saying that while the actress has many suitors, she is single at the moment.
Min spoke about this during an ABS-CBN “On Cue” interview with entertainment reporter MJ Felipe, in which she emphasized that she lets the actress explore and decide for herself on matters of the heart.
“Hinahayaan ko lang siya pero nandyan pa rin ako sa side na bumubulong, ‘Hindi tama ‘yan; hindi okay ‘yan’ — mga gano’n,” Min admitted. “Pero at the end of the day, mahirap kasi sa isang nanay na may sinasabi ka [pero] hindi ka pinakikinggan.”
“Ngayon, ina-accept ko na lang na ‘sige na nga, matanda ka na. Ikaw na magdesisyon by your own, pero sana isipin mo hundred times kung sino man ‘yan, ano man ‘yan kasi mahirap magkamali,'” she continued. “Especially sa stature niya ngayon, maraming naghihintay na magkamali siya.”
Felipe then asked, “May nanliligaw? Marami?” to which Min responded with a nod and a giggle.
“Syempre naman. Ang panget ba naman ng anak ko kung walang manliligaw, ‘di ba?” she said.
Felipe then made a followup question, “Tsaka single naman siya, ‘di ba?”
Min replied, “Yea, oo.”
Min then said that she is ready whenever Kathryn decides to settle down, with the celebrity mom revealing that she had even advised her children to get married at the age of 25.
“Pero walang nag-asawa nang 25,” she said, laughing. “Si Kath sabi niya last year siguro mga 33, tapos pausod nang pausod. Nung isang araw narinig ko nga 34 daw.”
Speaking about how Kathryn is as a woman, Min said, “Independent na siya. Strong woman siya.”
Just last month, speculations linking Kathryn to Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala were further fueled after actor-showbiz insider Ogie Diaz cited an anonymous source who supposedly confirmed to him the pair’s relationship.
Kathryn and Alcala have yet to comment on these claims as of this writing.
