Piolo Pascual’s relationship status has once again become the center of headlines after his photo with a Filipino-Chinese model named Kim Rivera sparked online buzz.
The photo was uploaded by Rivera herself on her Instagram page on April 9 as part of a carousel of her Baler getaway.
In one picture, Pascual had his arm around the model, who was wearing a black halter top, his lips touched her left temple while they were lounging on what seemed to be a yacht. In another, there was a second woman who joined them in the frame and who had her arm on his arm and thigh.
“Reliving these moments,” Rivera captioned her post, without tagging her companions.
In the comments section, Rivera was asked if it was Pascual she was with, to which she responded that it was just someone who had a striking resemblance to the “Mallari” actor.

The tattoo that can be seen on the right arm of the guy in the photo was also seemingly the same tattoo that Pascual has, which was captured in one of his recent running videos.
Rivera and Pascual have yet to make a statement on their relationship status.
It would be recalled that only last January, Pascual said in an interview that he was single, a situation that he has gotten used to for 13 years. He said he allowed his personal life to take a back seat, while his career took center stage.
“Sinabi sa akin ni Pastor Julius, the more you stay single, the more you’re gonna enjoy it, the more you’re not going to look for it,” he said. “For thirteen years. Lovelife ko talaga ‘yung trabaho ko.”
The actor also noted that as of the moment he is currently not looking for full-time commitment.
Pascual was previously linked to actress Shaina Magdayao.
