Eric Fructuoso Clarifies Real Score With Kim Rodriguez
ERIC FRUCTUOSO – The actor has clarified that he is not in a romantic relationship with actress Kim Rodriguez despite the dating rumors circulating online. Speculation began after many social media users noticed the pair frequently appearing together in TikTok dance videos and other posts.
Eric explained that he and Kim are simply close friends who happen to live near each other, making it easy for them to spend time together. He firmly denied that they are dating and said their relationship is based on friendship and mutual respect. “Si Kim, ang buddy-buddy ko talaga. Because magkalapit lang bahay namin. Somewhere within the area rin,” he said.
He also shared that he considers Kim like family. According to Eric, her playful personality often reminds him of his own child, making him feel comfortable and protective whenever they are together. Their connection, he said, is built on trust and genuine friendship rather than romance.

Another reason they have become close is their shared commitment to living a healthier lifestyle. Both are focused on fitness and making positive changes to their daily routines, giving them common interests and activities to enjoy together. Their similar goals have helped strengthen their friendship over time.
“Parang feeling ko minsan, ‘pag kasama ko siya, parang kasama ko ‘yong anak ko. Pareho silang kilos, pareho silang makulit,” he said.

Eric recently attracted attention for his noticeable body transformation. He achieved this by adopting healthier habits and leaving behind an unhealthy lifestyle. He reduced activities such as partying, drinking, and staying out late, choosing instead to focus on exercise, discipline, and overall well-being. His lifestyle changes have received positive reactions from fans.
By addressing the rumors, Eric hopes to clear up the public’s assumptions about his relationship with Kim Rodriguez. He emphasized that there is no romantic involvement between them and that they simply share a strong friendship.
