After months of whispers and denials, it wasn’t AJ Raval or Aljur Abrenica who finally put an end to the guessing game—it was Jeric Raval, fresh off a FAMAS win, who proudly announced he now has two grandchildren courtesy of the controversial couple.
One child is just over a year old, another only nine months. Yet for the longest time, AJ herself dismissed the rumors with a quip: “I don’t get pregnant every year. If I were to get pregnant now, I would be the happiest person in the world.”
Aljur, for his part, sidestepped the chatter. And the public, suspicious but lacking receipts, moved on.
Until now.
Which begs the question: Why?
Why did Jeric choose this moment to drop the personal bombshell? Was hesimlpy being honest for honesty’s sake? Or was it a calculated turnaround, turning family matters into fresh headlines?
But the spotlight was already on him, so, again, why?
Cynics will say it was a “stay relevant” move, proof that in showbiz, no victory speech is complete without a scandal-adjacent revelation.
The irony? His candor has now overshadowed the award itself. Instead of basking in his achievement, the conversation has shifted to AJ and Aljur’s supposed double parenthood. And as of writing, the couple has maintained a deafening silence—a silence that only makes Jeric’s revelation louder.
In a business where truth and image constantly wrestle for dominance, Jeric’s timing is either heroic transparency or headline opportunism. Maybe both. But in the court of public opinion, where curiosity never sleeps, one thing is clear: the babies may be innocent, but the drama surrounding them is pure showbiz.
