Jillian Ward has confirmed that the mystery man dubbed as the “big guy” who appeared with her in a recent TikTok video is courting her, sparking curiosity among fans about his identity.

The actress opened up about her love life in an interview with Nelson Canlas that aired on 24 Oras on Thursday. During the segment, Jillian was asked whether the man seen in the TikTok video was already her boyfriend, to which she directly answered, “hindi.”

Nelson then followed up with, “Nanliligaw?”

“I think so. Ayyy,” Jillian replied, prompting further buzz online.

The interview also touched on Jillian's recent social media post featuring flowers. When asked if the bouquet came from the so-called “big guy,” Jillian shared that several people have been sending her flowers, including “big guy.”

She also noted that the public seems to be gradually embracing her transition into young adulthood.

“Feeling ko po parang this year medyo natatanggap na rin po ng mga tao na nagdadalaga na ako. So ayan ma-stress na po si Mama,” she said.

In an earlier interview on 24 Oras, Jillian Ward had already dropped a hint about the identity of the mystery man after netizens speculated about his height.

“Well magbibigay ako ng isang clue kasi may mga comments na sabi nila hindi matangkad 'yung nasa likod. Pero kasi ang clue naka-[crouch] siya para hindi kita 'yung mukha niya. So matangkad 'yung taong 'yon,” the actress explained.

Clearly amused by the attention surrounding her love life, Jillian added, “Hayaan niyo naman akong kiligin. Mag-21 na ako,” she said with a laugh.

Jillian is set to star in upcoming action drama series Never Say Die along with David Licauco, Raheel Bhyria, Kim Ji Soo, Richard Yap, Raymart Santiago, Angelu de Leon, Ayen Munji-Laurel, Winwyn Marquez, Analyn Barro, and many more.
