In a moment both candid and refreshing, acclaimed actress-model Angel Aquino has finally put long-whispered rumors to rest.
During a recent guest appearance on “The Daily Dish” on the Bilyonaryo Channel, the ever-graceful star broke into laughter before declaring without hesitation “I like girls!”
The confession came after show host Mai Rodriguez asked her to share “something people don’t know about you.”
Initially, Angel teased, “Oh, I don’t know, my life is an open book.”
But seconds later, she dropped the line that stopped everyone in their tracks.
“Maybe some people don’t know that about you,” Rodriguez replied.
Angel, chuckling, shot back, “Well, a lot of people are in denial.”
She later clarified that her statement wasn’t just about attraction — it was about authenticity.
“It might sound weird, especially with social media now. But I’m saying, I’m falling in love also with girls and women,” she explained.
The revelation adds another layer to Aquino’s multifaceted life.
The “Glorious” star, known for her intelligence and understated strength, more so her beauty, has been through high-profile relationships in the past, including actor-host Lui Villaruz and ex-husband Ian Bernardez, with whom she shares two daughters, one being actress-producer Iana Bernardez.
Recently, Aquino also made headlines after being victimized by an AI-generated explicit video, an ordeal that led her to speak before the Senate on digital exploitation and women’s rights.
Yet, in true Angel Aquino fashion, she’s turning every moment into empowerment. With humor, honesty, and a touch of flair, she’s reminding everyone that love, just like beauty, has no single definition.
In her own words, simply and boldly: “I like girls. There.”
