It looks like Jake Zyrus, formerly Charice Pempengco, has found a new inspiration.

In a recent uncaptioned Instagram post by a certain Shyre Aquino, photos of herself with the singer were uploaded on the former’s Instagram account. The post showed Jake Zyrus in an affectionate pose with Aquino.

Jake Zyrus then posted a reply on Aquino’s post. In his post, he let the people know that “this woman makes me feel good about myself.”

“She’s the reason I stopped hating myself because of what other people think/say about me. Other than her outer beauty, her inner beauty is one of the many reasons why I adore her,” Zyrus further wrote.

He then thanked the people for complimenting Aquino: “It makes me feel proud. She’s a really good human being.”

In another recent post, Aquino posted a photo of them together in a beach. She accompanied her post with the caption, “I love you for who you are.”

Taking from Aquino’s Instagram page, she is a “registered  nutritionist-dietitian, personal trainer/fitness instructor, LesMills instructor and a proud Davaoeño.” Her Instagram feed also showed photos of the singer.

Charice Pempengco’s transition to Jake Zyrus has earned mixed reactions from fans and bashers. He has previously admitted to having his breasts removed and had taken testosterone injections to further boost his masculinity, causing his once internationally-acclaimed high-pitched voice to lower down. Jake Zyrus still continues creating music.

He had a much-publicized break-up with ex-girlfriend, singer Alyssa Quijano. JB
