IS AJ Raval pregnant? The answer is yes. But it’s only in her new movie, “Sitio Diablo,” where her character, Aina, is impregnated by her leading man, Kiko Estrdada.
“‘Sitio Diablo’ is a hard action movie at ako mismo ang gumawa ng action scenes ko at fight routines dito. Hindi po ako nagpa-double,” she says.
It seems what she wants to prove is that the rumor that she’s pregnant is not true, for she cannot do the stunts herself if she were really preggy.
“No, hindi ko naman po ginawa ito para lang sa mga naninira sa akin. Nagsisimula pa lang ako sa showbiz, ang dream ko talaga is to do action at heto, natupad na.”
What’s her most challenging scene? “Actually, hindi po ‘yung action scenes kundi love scene namin ni Kiko Estrada. First time siyang nakipag-love scene, so hindi pa siya sanay. Inabot sa point na napaso ako ng sigarilyo niya at nagkapasa sa katawan.”
“Sitio Diablo” is a Vivamax Original Movie about gang wars, inspired by Peque Gallaga’s “Gangland.” AJ as Aina grew up in a family of gang leaders, deeply influenced by her imprisoned brother, Tonix (Benz Sangalang), the leader of the notorious gang known as Los Hijos Diablos.
But Tonix is jailed and other gangs flourished, like the Illustrado, led by Kiko Estrada. Aina falls for him and together, they become the king and queen of Sitio Diablo.
But their reign soon faces trouble when Tonix is freed and wants to reclaim his throne as Sitio Diablo’s leader. This will lead to a gang war that is to be the bloodiest battle in Sitio Diablo.

‘We’ve mutually agreed noon pa that we can date other people, so stop dragging my name into this. — Kylie Padilla’

Kylie Padilla is feeling sad that her comeback soap, “Bolera,” is ending next week on August 26 (to be replaced by the romantic drama, “What We Could Be”), but she’s so thankful that viewers supported it all throughout its entire run and the nightly ratings are always very high.
“Salamat po sa lahat ng nanonood sa ‘Bolera’,” she says. “Three years din akong napahinga sa pag-arte and this turned out to be the perfect comeback vehicle for me. The viewers just loved my character, si Joni, at ako naman, I really prepared for her, lalo na ‘yung scenes na nakikipag-compete siya in the game of billiards.”
So what’s next for her? “Bolera” is such a big hit that it would be quite a tough act to follow.
“Yes, naiiba kasi siyang vehicle. About sports, na babae ang bida. There are some projects now being considered, but as of now, huwag kayong bibitaw sa nalalabing huling episodes ng ‘Bolera’ dahil maraming mga pasabog na mangyayari. Higit sa lahat, masasagot ang tanong ng maraming viewers. Kanino ba mapupunta si Joni sa ending: kay Rayver as Miguel or kay Jak as the patient and ever supportive Toypits? I promise you that it will be an exciting last few episodes, so don’t miss them.”
Her ex-husband, Aljur Abrenica, is currently being linked to Vivamax sexy star AJ Raval, who’s rumored to be pregnant. Some quarters say Kylie might file concubinage against her husband since they’re still legally married.
“There is no issue at all about this,” she says. “We’ve mutually agreed noon pa that we can date other people, so stop dragging my name into this. My priority now is our two sons and I’m just happy and thankful na nakabalik ako sa aking acting career.”

But the wedding didn’t push through after she gave birth to their daughter, Penelope, in Australia in 2019. Nathalie was last seen in the Vivamax thriller, “Reroute,” as the wife of John Arcilla and she now has a new movie in the can, also for Viva, “Kunwari Mahal Kita,” co-starring Ryza Cenon and Joseph Marco.
Nathalie posted photos of Brad’s making his proposal to her in her social media account.
She was surprised when Brad took her to a function room in Raffles Hotel in Makati. An event stylist filled up the whole room with romantic red roses and candles propped up against a stunning view of the city.
Nathalie wrote along with the photos: “Second Chapter: I said yes #Engaged!”
Well, what we can say? Everyone deserves a second chance on love! Congratulations to the couple! Lots of Nathalie’s friends in and out of showbiz quickly sent her their congratulatory messages for her engagement to Brad. May they have an even more memorable wedding.
