How true are the rumors? Jennylyn clears these issues and admits that she has a new boy in her life.
No one will disagree that Jen is one of the most beautiful pregnant women in the country today. Even in her second trimester, Jennylyn is still in the limelight and is even being linked to a number of men. How true are the rumors? Jennylyn clears these issues and admits that she has a new boy in her life. Text by Loretta G. Ramirez Celebrating her birthday last Saturday on Startalk, Jennylyn Mercado was radiantly beautiful and even got a number of compliments from Ms. Lolit Solis and Joey de Leon. She looked happy and content as she addressed rumors and answered questions. It became obvious that she has a bright disposition towards life and is inspired at the moment. And with that mommy-to-be confidence, she cleared up all the issues and set the record straight. Jen’s new boy Joey de Leon asked Jennylyn point blank if the reports are true – that she is dating a certain Andre Felix. He also asked how she felt about being linked to a number of men in her present condition. Jen, living up to her title as a survivor, matter-of-factly answered all the issues and stated what is on her mind. “Nakakalungkot, unang una, ang pangit tingnan kasi buntis ako. Kung kanino kanino nila ako nili-link, parang ang hirap. Sinabi ko ng hindi, sige pa rin sila so ako hindi ko na lang pinapansin, pabayaan na lang natin. At least ako alam ko ang totoo, wala akong panahon sa mga boys. Concentrate muna ako sa baby ko, sa family ko at sarili ko. ” Following this clarification, she however confessed that she does have a new boy in her life – her baby! “Boy siya,” says Jen radiantly. “Hanggang ngayon nagiisip pa rin ako ng name, nahihirapan nga ako. kasi ayoko ng mga common names, gusto ko unique.” A celebration Five days before her 21st birthday, a day before Mother’s Day and a surprise baby shower, Jennylyn had a lot of reasons to celebrate last Saturday. The Startalk staff prepared a surprise VTR message from Jen’s parents and friend, Katrina Halili plus invited a number of her StarStruck friends, Yasmien Kurdi, Alvin Aragon, Dion Ignacio, Rainier Castillo and of course Mark Herras. Jen was obviously touched and was emotional when she saw her fellow StarStruck batchmates. Tears of joy poured down her cheeks as she accepted their gifts for the baby. And of course everyone was all ears when ex-boyfriend Mark Herras spoke and made a wish for his ex-girlfriend. “Sana maging healthy ‘yung baby niya, alaagaan niya, ‘yung sarili niya, kung ano man ‘yung mga problema mo wag mo munang isipin lalo na at buntis ka.” She ended the celebration with a lot of thank you messages for all her friends and sponsors who have stuck to her side despite her condition.
