A talent management agency denied claims that one of its artists, Bianca Manalo, was involved in the alleged breakup of a couple.
Sparkle Artist Center on Friday, June 12, said the actress is currently “single and not in any relationship.”
“On behalf of our Sparkle Artist, Bianca Manalo, we would like to clarify that there is no truth to rumors circulating about her involvement with another couple. She is single and not in any relationship,” it said in a statement.
“We hope this settles the matter and that we all continue to spread and click kindness instead,” the talent agency added.
The statement came after reports linking the actress to British tech entrepreneur Jonathan Sterling circulated online.
Sterling is reportedly in a relationship with Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi, who announced her pregnancy last April.
There have been claims circulating online he allegedly left Cortesi to be for Manalo, who represented the Philippines in Miss Universe 2009.
Bianca previously dated Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian, whom she began seeing in 2018.
In 2023, Bianca was accused of cheating on the senator with her “Magandang Dilag” co-star Rob Gomez after screenshots of alleged conversations circulated online.
