Public Reaction: “Is the King of Kapamilya Royalty Dating the Heir to a Business Empire?”

The internet exploded with excitement following the sighting:

“He was leaning on her so casually. This is not a photo of just friends!”

“When you’re invited to a Muhlach family gathering, the vibe changes.”

“Atasha and Jacob? The power couple we never knew we needed.”

These enthusiastic reactions only intensified when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Jacob had earlier reposted the trailer to Atasha’s new TV series Bad Genius on his IG Story.PEP.ph

However, the buzz met a counterpoint when Ramon Ang stepped in to address the rumors. In a recent interview with Bilyonaryo News Channel, the SMC chief praised Atasha’s charm and character—but clarified the relationship was purely platonic:

“Si Atasha is a very nice lady, napakabait at napakaganda, sobra. Kaibigan lang po siya ng anak kong Jacob.”PEP.phPinoy Publiko

Despite the image and the sweeping fan theories, Ramon’s statement seems aimed at cooling romantic expectations. Still, public curiosity remains as intense as ever.
