Allegations of a Special Bond and Airport Sighting Contradict the Actress’s Firm Statement: “I Have Never Met Him”
The controversy surrounding young Kapuso star Jillian Ward and politician-businessman Luis “Chavit” Singson has been amplified by recent, unverified reports suggesting the two have traveled abroad to escape the intense public scrutiny. This speculation, however, stands in stark contrast to the firm and repeated denials issued by both parties.
Firm Denials from Both Sides
Despite persistent rumors circulating for years, both Ward and Singson have officially refuted any claims of a relationship.
In a highly publicized interview in late October 2025, Jillian Ward unequivocally denied ever meeting or speaking to the former Ilocos Sur Governor, expressing frustration over the malicious rumors that threaten her career.
“Never ko po siyang nakilala. Never ko po siyang na-meet. Never ko siyang nakausap, never po kaming nagkita,” Ward emphasized. “I don’t even know if he knows me. We don’t really know each other.”
Ward also strongly denied allegations that Singson was a financial benefactor for her luxurious lifestyle or sponsored her 18th birthday celebration, asserting that everything she owns was purchased with her own hard-earned money. She and her network, GMA, are reportedly considering legal action against those spreading the “fake news” and “cyber libel.”
Similarly, Chavit Singson has dismissed the rumors as mere “Marites lang” (gossip), stating that many personalities are often linked to him, but the claims have no basis in fact.
The Source of Persistent Speculation
The public remains skeptical despite the formal denials, largely due to unverified claims regarding Singson’s alleged generosity. Reports have continuously surfaced alleging that Singson bestowed lavish gifts upon the actress, including valuable real estate (house and land), as a sign of his affection.
In the public eye, such massive, non-work-related gifts from a prominent politician inevitably fuel speculation about a deeper, personal connection, leading many netizens to doubt the official statements.
Unverified Report: The Overseas Trip Allegation
The latest unconfirmed report, sourced from a supposed “trusted source,” alleges that the mounting pressure from the controversy has led Ward and Singson to seek a temporary reprieve abroad. The report claims the pair have left the country to “cool down” while the issue remains heated on social media.
Adding fuel to the speculation is the account that Ward and Singson were reportedly seen at the same airport around the same time. The report suggests that while they consciously avoided appearing together, arriving separately and allegedly having their respective personal assistants act as buffers, observers suspected they were part of a coordinated departure plan.
As of this writing, there has been no official statement from either camp regarding this rumored joint trip. The conflicting narrative—between the explicit, documented denials from Ward and Singson and the persistent, unverified reports of private meetings, grand gifts, and a joint overseas departure—continues to keep the alleged relationship at the forefront of public attention.
