Rob Gomez spoke to an entertainment site and revealed what many already suspected, that his ex live-in partner Shaila Rebortera was able to get his mobile phone and posted his private messages to other women on his official Facebook account.
“Please be advised that my phone was taken and used it without my consent on December 20, 2023 from 12:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Worse is that the person who took my phone posted pictures of mine in my own social media account pretending that I posted it with the intention of destroying my reputation,” Gomez told the showbiz website.
The leaked messages showed intimate, playful, and salacious details about his relationship with Herlene Budol, his co-star in GMA 7’s “Magandang Dilag”, at one point revealing that Budol had a pregnancy scare.
Perhaps the bigger bombshell was the message where actress/beauty queen Bianca Manalo invited Gomez to visit her in her condo, ending with “He’s not here. He’s in Valenzuela.” Manalo is the longtime girlfriend of Senator Win Gatchalian, who is from Valenzuela.
“The videos as shown were among my friends and co-stars who was trying to cheer me up when I was going through a lot of hurdles in my life,” Gomez said.
In August of this year, Shaila Rebortera revealed on her Instagram that she and Gomez had a child, and not only was he keeping their relationship and daughter a secret, ostensibly for his career, but that she was a victim of domestic violence.
A couple of weeks ago, Gomez posted a photo of the three of them, with many people speculating if Rebortera and Gomez had reconciled.
Rob Gomez currently stars in a show called “Lovers and Liars” on GMA.
