Actor-singer Wilbert Ross has addressed online rumors linking him to fashion designer Paul Cabral, brushing off the speculation and clarifying the nature of their relationship.
The former It’s Showtime Hashtags member explained that he had often been teased about allegedly being Cabral’s crush.
In a post on X, Ross recalled how Vice Ganda used to tease him about the designer supposedly having a crush on him because of his singing voice.
“Jusko lahat na lang, inasar yan sa akin ni Ganda kase crush [na] crush daw ako ni Paul that time dahil maganda daw boses ko,” Ross wrote.
The 29-year-old actor stressed that Cabral, whom he affectionately calls “Mamu,” is a good friend and urged netizens to stop making an issue out of their association.
“Mamu is a good friend kaya tigilan niyo kaka-issue,” he added.
Ross also said he feels comfortable around them because they treat him with respect, even when he visits their homes.
However, the actor later deleted his subsequent replies and jokingly remarked that his comments might once again become the subject of news reports.
Meanwhile, Ross is set to star alongside his on-screen partner Bea Binene in the Philippine adaptation of the hit Thai horror-comedy film Pee Mak.
The movie is scheduled to hit Philippine cinemas on October 14.
