Jimuel Pacquiao, the eldest son of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, admitted that there is a special girl in his life right now.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Jimuel ended all speculations about his love life and said that he is now dating teen actress Heaven Peralejo.
“Gusto lang po namin maging, like, tapat kasi marami pong nagtatanong,” Jimuel was quoted as saying.
Heaven agreed with Jimuel and said that denying about the status of their relationship only make it more difficult to hide the real score between them.
The young actress has earlier said that Jimuel is not courting him, but that did not stop fans from speculating after she received a bouquet of flowers from Jimuel.
Jimuel also posted a photo taken from one of their dates wherein they tried a brand of milk tea.
According to them, they first met at a mall after Jimuel asked for a photo with Heaven.
They met again at the same mall for the second time around and it did not last long before Jimuel started to court Heaven.
“Two years ago, nasa Greenbelt lang kami ni mom tapos biglang he saw us, ‘yong family niya, ‘yong mga pinsan niya tapos nagpa-picture sila,” Heaven said.
“Tapos one year later parang nag-meet ulit kami, same place tapos coincidence, same month,” Jimuel added.
Jimuel and Heaven said that their relationship is going well because they have so many similarities.
“Parang ka-vibes kami, marami kaming things in common like pagdating sa food, roller coasters,” Jimuel said.
“Adventurous kaming dalawa,” Heaven echoed.
Heaven is an actress who started her career after becoming a teen housemate in Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7.
Since then, she got signed with Star Magic and has worked with several clothing brands including Apartment 8 Clothing, BNY Jeans, World Balance, and Lacoste Philippines.
Meanwhile, Jimuel is following his father’s footsteps and is starting his career in boxing.
They said that they support each other in their respective endeavors.
