Atom Araullo confirms he is in a relationship: ‘Matagal na’

Atom Araullo confirmed that he is in a long-term relationship.

On Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the award-winning Kapuso journalist was asked if he currently has a girlfriend and he answered positively.

“Matagal na. How many years? See—We don’t even count. It’s been a while,” he said.

Atom did not name names but confirmed that she is also a public figure.

“She is public. I think people know. People on social media know. They see us often,” he said.

When asked about marriage, Atom said it is naturally part of the conversation when a relationship is serious.

“That’s always in someone’s mind when they’re in a serious relationship. So, definitely, it’s something that you think about. Something that you’re ready for. I’m not setting a deadline or timeline for it,” he said.

Atom hosts “The Atom Araullo Specials,” which tackles social issues and human-interest stories. His upcoming documentary on Siquijor, titled “Magic Island,” is set to air on November 30 at 3:15 p.m. on GMA Network.
