A quiet romance is taking shape in showbiz as Jake Cuenca confirmed his relationship with beauty queen and actress Rabiya Mateo.

After days of speculation fueled by sightings and social media interactions, Cuenca broke his silence through a message read on Ogie Diaz’s vlog, confirming that they are exclusively dating.

“Hi, Mama Loi, yes, it’s true. It’s safe to say that she makes me happy and we’re exclusively dating at the moment,” Cuenca said.

The pair had earlier been seen spending time together in Bonifacio Global City, dining out and attending a birthday celebration for child actress Sienna Stevens. Their public appearances and subtle online exchanges sparked curiosity among fans.

Despite the attention, both have kept details of their relationship private, choosing not to share how it began.

The relationship marks a new chapter for Cuenca, following his past romance with actress Chie Filomeno, while Mateo was previously linked to Kapuso actor Jeric Gonzales.
