It was in early April when GMANetwork.com reported that Bianca Yao has denied rumors linking her and Asia's Multimedia Star Alden Richards.
It looks like the rumor has continued to spread beyond the e-Sports community as the personality is once addressing the hearsay on her official Facebook page.
Dated May 9, Bianca posted a photo of herself in black and white together with the caption, “I recently received messages from people who are handling Alden about their concerns on AlCake which made me say something on the matter.
“From the very beginning, I have no intention of ever harming Alden's career. I am a fan myself and I wish nothing but the best for him.
“With that, I hope we can stop adding fuel to the fire. I want this to be my first and last post about AlCake. Now it's time to go back playing video games. Peace.”
In the comments section, fans of the streamer showered her with support as she turns her head away from the gossip.
One netizen wrote, “Although it was fun when it started since Alden is a famous actor, the backlash isn't at all worth it. Now onwards to creating relevant and entertaining content for the both of you -- separately or not.”
Another fan commented, “You have our full support since before Alden knocked on your door. Just sayin', we love you.”

Bianca has previously addressed rumors linking her to Alden Richards.
She said in one of her streams, “Gusto ko lang linawin na walang nagbibigay ng malisya dito. Katuwaan lang naman ito.
“Gusto ko lang linawin ulit na hindi naman ganun. Kagaya nung sinabi ko dati, 'yung tao mabait lang talaga and gusto lang niya magpasaya ng ibang tao.
“Lagi kong sinasabi na hindi lang ako 'yung binibigyan niya ng stars. Hindi lang ako 'yung binibigyan niya. Kaya 'wag niyo pong bigyan ng malisya lahat ng bagay na ginagawa niya.
“Lalo na sa fans niya, naiintindihan ko naman 'yung concern n'yo. Minsan may blind spot lang tayo bilang fan.
“Dapat nirerespeto rin natin kung ano'ng gustong gawin ng idol natin without anong panghuhusga o malisya. Bigyan na lang natin sila ng freedom na gawin kung ano'ng gustong gawin nila. Kasi ang hirap para sa kanila na kahit anong galaw nila binibigyan natin ng kahulugan.”
