How true is the rumor that AJ Raval, Viva’s prized talent, is pregnant and that an actor is said to be the dad?
AJ’s interesting condition is said to be the reason why she wants to take a rest from her showbiz career for a while.

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ and BEA ALONZO
They reason that since the two are on the same network, why not allow them to do a project together?
Fans of John Lloyd Cruz want to see the actor paired with Bea Alonzo.
“Nakaka-miss,” said chorus.
It is actually possible, especially because the two are now seen on the Kapuso Channel.
Both John Lloyd and Bea have expressed their willingness to work together in a project. In the past, the two have conquered the box office several times after starring in blockbuster films. Of course, they started on television as a love team.
John Lloyd took a hiatus and left ABS-CBN in 2017. Bea, meanwhile, officially left Star Magic in 2020. They have since transferred to GMA. Bea is currently busy with “StartUp PH” with Alden Richards, while John Lloyd has a weekly sitcom, “Happy ToGetHer.”
Fans continue to hope that their idols will reunite, but it seems they have to wait because there is another project that Bea has to do.
“Isa na ang ‘Special Memory’ which was originally titled ‘Pure Soul,’” said a kibitzer. “It is earmarked to be shown this year.”

She used to watch her mom when they were still in Bahrain, go from one audition to another, so she could get a role in a series.
It was not easy, Ivana discovered at an early age. But anyone who wanted to be in show business had to be tough in order to get a job.
Now, of course, Ivana has already established a huge following as a vlogger and Kapamilya star.
She has just been tapped to replace Bea Alonzo in the project, “Family Affair.”
For her role, Ivana had to do a lot of intimate scenes with Gerald Anderson, who made sure she was always properly shielded and comfortable.
“I’m glad I have Gerald for my partner,” said Ivana.
“He is a friend,” she added, “And I wish I have some more friends like him in the business.”

We heard that he is ecstatic to have an apo who is named after him. The ex-Mayor is said to be the spitting image of Scott Domagoso, the son of his son Joaquin.
If starbuilder German Moreno were alive today, he would be a proud great grandfather.
