WATCH: Chelsea Manalo dedicates ‘Man I Need’ song to Cole Micek

Chelsea Manalo and Cole Micek thrilled their fans after the beauty queen featured the latter on her TikTok page, lip-synching to him the lyrics of Olivia Dean’s song “Man I Need.”
The Miss Universe Asia 2024 and the basketball player-model further fueled dating speculations with the video shared on Manalo’s TikTok page on Sunday, Sept. 14.
The clip begins with only Manalo in the frame, lip-synching to the pop song.
“Just come be the man I need/ Tell me you got something to give, I want it,” she sings pointing to her left where Micek suddenly enters.
“I kinda like it when you call me wonderful,” she continues.
Micek, smiling from cheek to cheek, then extends his arm in front of the grooving beauty queen, who later grabs his hand and holds it. At the latter part of the video, both Manalo and Micek turned their backs from the camera, with the former hugging him from behind.
Manalo further captioned the video, “He’s wonderful.”

In separate posts on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Sept. 16, Manalo was also seen attending a brand event with Micek.


Manalo and Micek have been hounded with dating rumors since June after they were spotted together in several instances. The pair also worked together in a few projects, with Micek admitting he was eager to meet and work with the beauty queen.
“Siya ang crush ko (she is my crush),” Micek confessed last July, although the pair has yet to publicly comment on their real score as of this writing. /edv
