Aiko favors ex-hubby Jomari's affair with Pops

Former couple Aiko Melendez and Jomari Yllana have become the best of friends. GMA's Startalk on Saturday said that Melendez, councilor of Quezon City, supported her former husband's relationship with Pops Fernandez. "Kung meron akong isang lalaking matalik na kaibigan bukod kay (Bulacan vice mayor) Patrick (Meneses) si Jomari 'yon," she told reporters during the grand opening of Club Mafia in Malate, Manila . Yllana and Fernandez were also present during the opening of the bar, which is co-owned by Aiko. Yllana confirmed his closeness with his former wife.“Lagi naman kaming malapit ni Aiko e. Madalas din kaming hindi nagkakasundo pero most of the time magkasundo kami." Aiko and Jomari have a son, Andre. The councilor has a daughter with estranged husband Martin Jickain. Melendez praised Fernandez, and said that Yllana deserved to have a woman like Pops. “Gusto ko si Pops talaga. I’ve been very vocal about it because I know her as a person, she's a very good person and I think Jomari deserves someone who is really good and that's Pops," she said. The QC councilor said she had known Pops even before she and Yllana became an item. “Basta, love ko si Pipay (Pops’ nickname)," Aiko said. - A. Legaspi, GMANews.TV
