Claudine Barretto has stirred dating rumors after posting a sweet photo with Milano Sanchez, the younger brother of veteran broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez.
On Thursday, Oct. 30, Barretto shared a photo on Instagram showing her standing and hugging Milano, who was seated and smiling while covering his face. The photo appeared to have been taken at an outdoor food court.
‘Can you really wait??? No matter how long??? No one will break me? Swear?’ read Barretto’s caption, followed by a lovestruck emoji. She also tagged Milano’s Instagram handle, @onalim_zehcnas. The post also featured Jose Mari Chan’s ‘Can We Just Stop and Talk a While.’
On his private Instagram account, Milano seemingly confirmed that he is courting Barretto after he re-posted their photo with the caption, ‘The courtship starts now. No matter how long it takes, I will wait. No one will ever break you again.’ Netizens quickly confirmed Milano’s connection to Korina as they posted photos of the siblings together.
The rumored romance comes shortly after Barretto made headlines over issues involving her former partner, Raymart Santiago, following abuse allegations made by her mother, Inday Barretto.
Santiago has since denied the accusations through a statement on his Instagram page.
As of writing, Claudine and Milano have yet to officially confirm the dating rumors.
Meanwhile, Claudine previously made headlines after she revealed that she was hospitalized amid a bout with depression.
