Social media is abuzz with speculation following a recently viral photo featuring celebrity couple AJ Raval and Aljur Abrenica.
The image, shared by FashionPulis, shows the couple walking hand-in-hand, with AJ holding the hand of a young girl.
The presence of the child has led to a flurry of reactions from netizens, who are questioning the child’s connection to the couple. Comments include:
“Is the child possibly AJ’s sibling or niece?” one user asked.
“If the child is theirs, she seems quite grown for a toddler. Could they have a child of their own?” another commented.
“There was a blind item suggesting a sexy star had a child in secret. Could this be related?” a third user speculated.
In 2022, showbiz insider Ogie Diaz reported that AJ had given birth at a hospital in Pasig City, with Aljur reportedly present. This claim was initially denied by AJ, who also refuted previous rumors about her pregnancy.
AJ and Aljur publicly confirmed their relationship on February 14, 2023, with a photo posted by Aljur featuring them next to his motorbike. The couple further shared their relationship status by posting pictures from a trip to Canada on August 11, 2023.
Aljur, who was previously married to Kylie Padilla, has two sons from that marriage. The couple married in 2018 and separated in 2021 amid allegations of infidelity. AJ has denied being involved in their separation.
