Ion Perez, rumoured partner of television host Vice Ganda, did not shy away from declaring his love for the “Fantastica” star at one of the comedian’s concerts last weekend.
In a video that has circulated the internet, fans can be heard shrieking after Perez is brought onto stage, confidently stating, “Me too, I love Vice Ganda!” when interacting with one of the audience members.
There is no confirmation yet on the relationship between Ion and Vice, but the two were spotted visiting the Misters of Filipinas 2017 pageant winner’s sister when the host had back-to-back concerts on May 3 and May 5 in California. Natalia Perez, one of Ion’s 14 siblings, posted a series of photos with the rumoured couple captioned, “Sumer is lab lab.” Netizens also discussed Ion’s most recent Instagram post, where he talks about “[his] dreams being fulfilled slowly,” believing it refers to his relationship with Vice.
After his stints in Misters of Filipinas 2017 and Mister Universe Tourism 2018, the 29-year-old pursued his entertainment career as one of the bachelors on Cosmopolitan Philippines’ list. He began to work under his alias, “Kuya Escort” on “It’s Showtime” last February, also joining the show’s Miss Q&A segment. Currently, he has an on-screen romance with both Vice Ganda and Jackie Gonzaga.
In March, rumours of a real-life relationship began to spark because of photos of the two that circulated online. Yet, on his show “Gandang Gabi Vice,” Vice Ganda simply only refers to Perez as a “special person” in his life.
Besides pursuing a career in entertainment, Ion admitted that he is a father to a five year-old child. The Concepcion, Tarlac native was raised by a jeepney driver and a kakanin vendor.
