[Trending Now] BREAKING: Andi Eigenmann Speaks Up If Jake Is Really The Biological Father Of Her Daughter!

In a press conference last Friday, Kapamilya Actress Andi Eigenmann released a statement regarding the identity of her daughter’s biological father.

However, Eigenmann did not make any confirmations or denial about Jake Ejercito’s involvement in the issue. It can be recalled that Eigenmann’s half-sister, Max Eigenmann, claimed that the biological father of her sister’s daughter is Jake. Max made the claim last week while in Mo Twister’s podcast, “Good times with Mo”. She said that a DNA test was conducted to prove Jake’s paternity to Ellie, Andi’s 5-year old daughter.

“"They did a test. Yeah, he [Jake] is the dad” said Max.

Even though Andi did not make any confirmation, she asked the media that the identity of Ellie’s biological father will be kept in private by the family as her daughter has been dragged into left and right media exposures because of the controversy. Eigenmann said that her decision of concealing the fact about her daughter’s father is mainly because she wanted to protect her daughter from intrigues and gossips.

“Recent events have put my daughter Ellie into the limelight with the media, netizens, and strangers questioning who her father is. I made a conscious choice not to talk about the paternity of my daughter in order to protect the privacy of Ellie. Although she was born into a showbiz family, as a mother, I would like to shield her from the intrigues and gossip that are part of the industry” the Camp Sawi actress said.

Although Eigenmann did not drop a single name of Ellie’s father, she assured the media that her daughter’s father has been there since the beginning and his identity was not kept away from Ellie.

“Growing up, Ellie knew who her father was and he has been there for her, and that's all that matters. I hope this will put the issue to rest, out of concern for my very young daughter. I'm requesting everyone to respect the privacy of Ellie.” she added.

The son of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada has not yet released his statement regarding the issue. 

It can also be recalled that Andi made claims in recent interviews that Jake is the closest “father figure” to Ellie saying that Jake has been there ever since and he loves Ellie like his own daughter. Because of this, Andi said that “he is the father”.

However, these claims were made by Andi before she had a heated argument with Jake on Twitter. Andi said that she “never” needed him.

Meanwhile, Albie Casino seemed to be relieved by the news. Casino has been tagged to be the father during the peak of Eigenmann’s pregnancy.

Casino expressed his relief in a statement released by Cosmopolitan PH saying “I'm just happy that the truth is out, I can finally relax now”.
