Although the netizens are convinced that Paolo Contis and Yen Santos are a couple, it was never officialized until Paolo confirmed it on Boy Abunda’s Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on GMA 7 recently.
“Yes,” he revelead. “Ang samin kasi, kung baga, what you see is what you get na naman e, ‘di ba? Hindi na namin pwedeng ipilit ‘yung tao to be happy for us, hindi na namin pwedeng ipilit ‘yung mga tao na paniwalaan ‘yung gusto nilang paniwalaan. Sana lang isipin nila na kung ano lang ‘yung nakikita nilang naka-post, ‘yung lang ang truth na alam nila.”
Paolo clarified though that the trending Baguio photo with Yen took place after LJ had already left for New York and that him and Yen were not yet an item then.
Paolo also clarified that Yen was not the cause of his split with LJ.
“Hindi. Somehow, medyo matagal na kaming hindi okay ni LJ pero we were together officially. Napapadalas ‘yung away. I think it was a combination of stress sa pandemic and everything.
Paolo and Yen were the lead stars in the movie Faroe Islands shot in 2021. In the same year, news of Paolo and then partner LJ Reyes broke up when the latter admitted it in her guesting in Abunda’s online show in August 2021.
