Sherwin Gatchalian’s “Non-Existent” Answer About His Love Life Fuels Breakup Talks Online
SHERWIN GATCHALIAN – The senator drew strong public attention after openly stating that his love life is non-existent.
The comment was made during a televised interview on January 21, 2026, and quickly went viral online. Although the interview mainly focused on corruption issues in the Department of Public Works and Highways, the host asked a final personal question about his relationship status. Gatchalian answered directly and seriously, which surprised the host and immediately caught viewers’ attention.
The simple but bold statement led many netizens to believe that the senator may no longer be in a relationship. Public attention quickly shifted to his longtime partner, beauty queen and actress Bianca Manalo. Fans had already noticed signs of distance between the two.
In December 2024, they celebrated Christmas separately, unlike in previous years when they were often seen together. By early 2025, both had stopped posting photos of each other on social media, raising questions among followers. When Gatchalian was asked about his personal life during a Senate press session in January 2025, he declined to comment, which added to public curiosity.
As of now, Bianca Manalo has not issued any statement regarding their relationship. Observers have also pointed out that the senator has not appeared in her recent social media posts since late 2025, strengthening public belief that the two may have quietly gone their separate ways.
Speculation about their relationship began as early as December 2023, when Bianca was linked to a controversy involving a co-actor. Screenshots of private conversations circulated online and suggested personal exchanges. Bianca later explained that some messages were removed and presented in a misleading way, making the situation appear more serious than it actually was. During that period, Gatchalian remained silent in public but continued to show support for her.
Gatchalian and Manalo reportedly began dating in 2018 and kept their relationship largely private.
