Maris Racal and Rico Blanco

Though this isn't confirmed yet, many fans are convinced there is "something" going on between 23-year-old Maris Racal and 48-year-old Rico Blanco.

It all started with Rico's "love you" reply to Maris when she greeted him on his recent birthday.

The rumor has since grown with Maris' former love team partner Iñigo Pascual reacting about it.

Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay

32-year-old Ellen Adarna was criticized when she admitted to falling for 44-year-old Derek Ramsay.

Derek also received criticism, mostly from those who didn't like it that he found new love only a few months after his much-talked-about split with Andrea Torres. 

But, they don't care.

Derek even declared Ellen "The One."

He also doesn't mind being an "instant tatay" to Elias, the actress' love child with ex-partner John Lloyd Cruz.
