Apple David replies to comments on her relationship with Chad Gammad.

Content creator and courtside reporter Apple David has once again addressed criticism surrounding her relationship with basketball player Chad Gammad.

In a Facebook post featuring a photo of the couple, netizens filled the comments section with mixed reactions. While many express support for the pair, others continue to question their age gap.

One of the comments that stood out was, "Hindi mo naman ako basher tbh. I hope you only started dating him after he turned 18. 'Yon lang. Because if you were together before that, [it] means you were dating a minor. And that's an issue. But if you started hanging out once he was of legal age, I don't see any reason to bash you."

About an hour later, Apple responded to the comment and clarified when their relationship began.

"No worries, we started dating just this April 2026. He moved to the Philippines from Canada just last year. Didnt know each other before that," she said.

"No way to groom him and to be honest, I don't need to groom anybody just to like me. All you baby girls using dump accounts take that. Sorry not sorry."

Apple's response came after Chad recently defended her against online critics.

"Mag isip isip naman kayo bago kayo mag comment o baka may sira talaga sa utak nyo. Wala naman ginawang masama si Apple sa inyo ba't ganun kayo kabilis mag bash tas sabihin nyo na namn na si Apple nag-comment neto," he fired back.

Chad also shared another post expressing his love and support for Apple amid the criticism surrounding their relationship.
