One of the hottest topics in the July 12 episode of Showbiz Now Na, hosted by veteran entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin with Romel Chika and Wendell Alvarez, involved a circulating rumor that Kapamilya actress and social media star Ivana Alawi allegedly gave birth to a child in the United States.
The story, previously discussed on Ogie Diaz’s Showbiz Update, claimed that Ivana had allegedly given birth to a child abroad, sparking intrigue among fans and critics alike. According to Cristy, some sources suggest Ivana has been traveling to the U.S. frequently to visit her alleged child. However, Cristy raised doubts, pointing out that Ivana still appears very slim and sexy, making it hard to believe she had recently given birth.
Romel Chika, for his part, noted that these are merely speculations and should not be meddled with. Still, Cristy remarked that if she were in Ivana’s position, she would immediately address the rumors publicly to set the record straight—either confirming or denying the existence of a six-year-old son allegedly born in the U.S.
Cristy also stated that if the rumor were true, there would be nothing shameful about it. The next logical question, she added, would be: Who is the father?
Netizens have speculated that it could be actor and former Santa Rosa, Laguna Representative Dan Fernandez, who has previously been linked to Ivana. Observers noted similarities in the interior designs of Ivana and Dan’s closets and kitchens, as seen in their social media posts. Some photos taken from similar-looking vacation spots also fueled rumors of a deeper connection between the two.
However, Romel brought up a past interview where Ivana explicitly denied any romantic involvement with Dan, even stating during a guest appearance on The Boy Abunda Talk Channel that she was not interested in him because of his reputation as a “womanizer.”
As of this writing, Ivana’s camp has yet to confirm or deny the allegations. Likewise, Dan Fernandez has not issued any comment. Until either party breaks their silence, the issue remains a topic of online speculation and gossip.
The public awaits Ivana’s response, especially since she’s known for her candid and straightforward personality when addressing controversies.
