LOOK: Lotlot de Leon said Rayver Cruz is part of her family

Janine Gutierrez's mother Lotlot de Leon acknowledged her daughter's rumored boyfriend, actor Rayver Cruz as “family.”

Even before Janine knew the 29-year-old actor, Lotlot has already worked with him. They grew even closer after Rayver admitted last year that he is courting the 28-year-old actress.

The brother of Rodjun Cruz has been seen hanging around the Kapuso actress' family, especially in Lotlot's restaurant The South Grill since last year.

Yesterday, August 5, an intimate family gathering happened in Lotlot's abode. She captioned her Sunday famday, “There's no place like home.”

Janine's mom posted a few photos of the reunion, and quoted Brad Henry, “Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.”

In separate interviews, Janine's parents said that they approve of her suitor.
