John Lloyd Cruz, Isabel Santos are in a relationship, actor confirms

John Lloyd Cruz has confirmed that Isabel Santos is his girlfriend.

On Tuesday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the award-winning actor said he is indeed in a relationship with Isabel.

According to John Lloyd, he met the visual artist when he took a hiatus in showbiz and ventured into the arts.

"Napadpad ako sa pag-e-explore ng art, so gallery nila 'yung una kong napasok," he said.

John Lloyd added that he has known Isabel from way back.

"Matagal na kami magkakilala, we were talking before but hindi nag-evolve into something ideal for us at that time," he said.

"Mula noon, present na rin siya sa buhay ko," he added.

John Lloyd and Isabel first sparked romance rumors in 2021. They celebrated the actor's birthday together with the "Happy ToGetHer" cast in 2022.

They were also spotted holding hands at an event. Earlier this year, the couple took John Lloyd's son Elias on a camping trip.

On Father's Day, Isabel penned a heartfelt greeting for John Lloyd.
