Today is a day full of surprises in the world of showbiz Philippines after the names of Erich Gonzales and Paul Soriano became a hot topic again. Erich has been quiet for a long time since she decided to leave the spotlight in recent years, but now there is new news that raises many questions in the minds of the public. According to the emerging stories, Erich has revealed an important part of her life that she has been hiding for a long time – her child who is connected to Paul Soriano.
To fully understand this story, it is necessary to go back to the beginning of everything. In 2017, Erich Gonzales and Direk Paul Soriano teamed up for the movie “Siargao”. This was a project that brought a lot of attention to the two of them because of the chemistry that many viewers saw on screen. Erich, known for her natural beauty and acting skills, became the lead actress under the direction of Paul, who is one of the respected filmmakers in the country. Paul, on the other hand, is known as the husband of Toni Gonzaga, a famous actress and TV host who has a great influence in the industry.
During the filming, rumors began to circulate about their relationship. Many witnesses on the set said that the two had a strange closeness, which went beyond their professional relationship. Photos emerged showing them together in private moments, no longer connected to work. These triggered a huge controversy on social media and in the newspapers. Erich addressed the issue through an interview on national television where he vehemently denied that there was any personal relationship between him and Direk Paul. He said that everything was just work and that the accusations were untrue.
However, the public’s doubts did not disappear. Photos and stories from people close to the production continued to fuel the conversation. After that controversy, Erich suddenly disappeared from teleseryes, guestings, and even showbiz events. Many wondered why he suddenly disappeared from the radar, especially since he was still at the peak of his career. Meanwhile, Paul Soriano finally married Toni Gonzaga and they had a happy family, including their children.
Years passed without much update from Erich. Her social media accounts were mostly quiet, with only a few posts about her personal life. In 2022, there was a surprise announcement when her marriage to Rafael Mato Lorenzo, a businessman and the son of a CEO, was announced. The wedding was held privately, and many were surprised because they did not expect her to get married in such a way. After that, Erich became even quieter, saying that she chose to live away from the cameras and spotlight.
