Lou Yanong, addressing the assumptions of a romantic relationship, used her former Twitter account to state firmly that she and Markus are only friends.
“Get off my business we’re just friends,” she asserted.
Get off my business we’re just friends 💀💀💀

While their public interactions might suggest a strong bond of friendship, it remains to be seen how their relationship evolves over time.
Lou Yanong’s last publicly known romantic involvement was with Andre Brouillette, a fellow housemate from ‘Pinoy Big Brother Otso.’ On the other hand, Markus Paterson is the father of Janella Salvador’s child.
