In a recent ‘Fast Talk’ episode with host Boy Abunda, actors Buboy Villar and Jelai Andres confirmed the nature of their relationship, putting an end to speculations.
When asked directly if they were a couple, Buboy responded with a clear “Hindi po Tito Boy,” clarifying their current status. Boy Abunda probed further, questioning whether there were moments when Buboy considered a romantic connection with Jelai. Buboy candidly admitted to having questioned the dynamics of their relationship but emphasized that Jelai holds a special place in his life.
Despite occasional contemplation, Buboy attributed his focus on personal goals, particularly his role as a father to two children, as a factor influencing his approach to relationships.
