Actor Jake Ejercito broke his silence and admitted, once and for all, that he is the father of Andi Eigenmann’s daughter Ellie.
When he received his award for Best New Male TV Personality at Star Awards for Music and Television last night, he mentioned and dedicated his award to Ellie.
“To my number one inspiration, my princess, my Ellie…this is for you,” Ejercito said in his acceptance speech.
He won the award for his role in the Lenten special episode of noontime show Eat Bulaga! titled God Gave Me You starring Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.
In an interview with Pep.ph, he said that he feels good to be open about his real relation to Ellie.
“Actually, it’s very relieving na ngayon napag-uusapan ko na siya very openly. I mean, hindi naman deserve ni Ellie na, you know, na itago. Never ko naman siyang ikinahiya, e,” he said.
When he was asked if he would not speak up about the truth if Andi’s half-sister Max didn’t reveal the truth in a podcast, he said he never denied it in the first place.
“You know what, honestly, I wouldn’t know. Kasi ako naman, I’ve never denied it naman, e. Never pinpointed on anyone. All I wanted is to protect Ellie. Kasi ayoko talagang pag-usapan,” Ejercito said.
