The Latest on Pernilla Sjoo
Life goes on for everyone involved in the recent controversy between actress Andi Eigenmann and her partner, surfer Philmar Alipayo. One of the key figures in the issue was Swedish marine photographer Pernilla Sjoo, who was accused of being a third party in their conflict.
The dispute began in February 2025 when Andi criticized Philmar for getting a matching tattoo with a female friend, later identified as Pernilla. The controversy quickly spread on social media, with many netizens accusing Pernilla of trying to come between Andi and Philmar. Although Andi and Philmar reconciled after a week, Pernilla continued to receive online criticism. As a result, she deactivated her Instagram account and has not reactivated it since.
Recent social media posts suggest that Pernilla has moved forward with her life. She was spotted attending the baptism of Derek Ramsay and Ellen Adarna’s daughter, Liana, and was even speculated to be one of the godparents. Additionally, Pernilla has been actively participating in sports events, particularly trail running. The Siargao Runners Club, which she founded, shared photos of her competing in a trail race at Mt. Kalatungan in Bukidnon, where she finished as the first runner-up. The club praised her resilience and dedication.
Despite staying away from social media, Pernilla has received strong support from her friends, particularly Derek and Ellen. Derek publicly defended Pernilla in an interview, criticizing Philmar for failing to stand up for her amid the controversy. He also refuted claims that Pernilla ignored Andi’s messages, suggesting that she did respond but chose to keep it private.
Now that the issue has settled, Andi and Philmar are back on good terms, and Pernilla continues to focus on her active lifestyle. It seems that all parties involved have chosen to move forward.
