Actor Tom Rodriguez recently revealed he is now a proud father to a four-month-old baby boy named Korben with his non-showbiz partner of two years. In an exclusive interview with News5, Tom opened up about this new chapter in his life, expressing joy and gratitude for the arrival of his son, who has become his latest source of inspiration.
“I am a new dad to a very happy, healthy baby boy. He’s 4 months old, and I’ve never experienced happiness at this level,” the actor shared. The revelation brought much excitement to his fans, who have followed him through various stages in his career and personal life.
Tom’s transition to fatherhood marks a fresh start after a turbulent period, notably his highly publicized divorce from actress Carla Abellana. The split, which was finalized last year, had sparked numerous rumors, including speculation that he had moved to the United States to avoid media attention and that he had a benefactor overseas. Tom addressed these rumors during the interview, laughing them off and clarifying that he had simply chosen to focus on his personal life.
“Some people claimed I was hiding in the U.S. after the divorce, and others even suggested I had a benefactor there. I just laugh at those rumors now,” Tom said, emphasizing that his primary focus has been on building a life with his son and partner. His statement aimed to dispel ongoing gossip and affirm his commitment to his family.
The news of Tom’s son, Korben, has warmed the hearts of his fans and supporters. Known for his roles in popular TV dramas and films, Tom has mostly kept his personal life private. His decision to open up about his family highlights a new phase where he embraces fatherhood while balancing his career.
The actor’s announcement has sparked excitement and curiosity about whether he will return to the screen soon or take an extended break to prioritize family life. For now, though, he seems content and fulfilled in his role as a father, cherishing the time spent with his son and partner away from the spotlight.
