Manila, Philippines –
After years of silence and persistent rumors, veteran actor and senator Lito Lapid has finally broken his silence on his long-rumored romantic history with fellow screen legend Lorna Tolentino.

In an exclusive sit-down interview aired over the weekend, Lapid opened up emotionally when asked about his past with the award-winning actress, leaving fans stunned and touched by his honesty.

“We were young. We were in love. And even if things didn’t end the way people expected, Lorna will always have a place in my heart,” Lapid said.

Though he stopped short of confirming whether the two were officially a couple, his words were enough to reignite nostalgia and spark renewed interest in one of Philippine cinema’s most beloved pairings.

A Love Story Long Kept Private

Throughout the 80s and 90s, fans speculated about a romantic connection between the two stars, as their onscreen chemistry spilled over into countless films. Yet both actors remained elusive when asked about the true nature of their relationship — until now.

“I respected her too much to make our story public,” Lapid added.
“Some things are better treasured in silence.”

The interview revealed a softer, more sentimental side of the action star-turned-politician, who is more often known for his stoic demeanor.

Lorna Tolentino’s Side?

As of writing, Lorna Tolentino has not publicly responded to Lapid’s remarks, but fans are already buzzing online, hoping she might give her own version of their story.

“This isn’t just showbiz—it’s a love story we never got closure on,” one netizen wrote.
“Please let Lorna speak next. We need her side!” said another.

A Story That Still Resonates

While the past remains in the past, Lapid’s candid statement has reopened a chapter many thought was closed — reminding everyone that even behind the toughest roles and political careers lies a deeply human heart.

“Kung may pagkakataon ulit? Siguro, pero sa tamang panahon,” Lapid hinted with a nostalgic smile.
