Jelai Andres has revealed that she had an ex-boyfriend who passed away.
The actress opened up about her past relationships while playing a drinking game in a recent vlog, but things took an unexpected turn when she was asked to reveal the full name of an ex.
"Paul Santos... Siya 'yung ex ko na wala na pero ang bait-bait niya (He's my ex who's no longer with us)," she said.
Jelai did not go into detail about their relationship, only that they had been together for a long time and that she was incredibly close with her family, even until now.
"Hanggang ngayon, okay na okay kami ng family nila kasi natutuwa ako, super naging close ko yung parents (I still have a close relationship with his family, and I'm glad I became very close with his parents)," the actress said.
"Lagi namang ganun eh, love ako ng mga parents ng naging ex ko, as in gustong-gusto nila ako promise (It's always been like that. I promise, all of my exes' parents have liked me)," she added.
In the vlog, Jelai said she and Paul's family kept in touch after she got married, and got to introduce them to her husband.
The actress also recalled how her late ex-boyfriend's relatives even flew all the way from another country just to attend her wedding.
