Meanwhile, Rhian in the press con stressed that she and Michelle are just really good friends.
“I told Michelle, ‘Girl, babaera ka ba? Bakit ang daming nali-link sa ‘yo?’ We joke about it,” the actress was quoted as saying with a laugh.
Rhian also said that rumors linking Michelle with other girls are just rumors.
“None of those are true. I would know,” the actress said.
Rhian also reacted to Inquirer Entertainment’s tweet.
“LINAWIN KO LANG, JOKE LANG ITO, HA! Maraming nali-link pero tulad ng sinasabi namin ni Deedee, ‘Sa’kin ‘yan umuuwi,'” she tweeted on June 22 with a winking-face-with-tongue emoji, tagging the account of Michelle.
Michelle responded to her the following day.
“That’s all that matters,” the beauty queen said in a quote tweet with emojis of a white heart and a tongue-sticking-out face.
Michelle and Rhian have been housemates since September 2022, although plans have started as early as 2020.
The beauty queen said that the arrangement “feels so normal” because prior to the move, they were always in each other’s company.
“Bago pa kami mag-move in, magkasama na kami palagi. It just feels normal talaga,” Michelle said to the Philippine Entertainment Portal before.
Earlier this week, Rhian said that they call each other “wifey” as a testament to their closeness.
“Every time na [umuuwi] kami from work or from anywhere, when we open the door, sinisigaw talaga namin at the top of our lungs, ‘Honey, I’m home!’ Dahil ‘yun ‘yung nakikita mo sa movies,” the actress said in an episode of “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” last Monday.
“So pag may sumigaw na nang ganun, ‘yung isa naman, whoever is home, will open the door, ‘Honey, welcome home!'” Rhian added.
The actress describes them as “partners.”
Rhian is in a relationship with businessman and Tutok to Win party-list Rep. Sam Versoza.
