Love seems to be in the air for Claudine Barretto, with Milano Sanchez, brother of TV host Korina Sanchez, openly declaring that he’s pursuing the actress.
The pair confirmed their blooming romance as Milano posted a cozy photo of them together with the caption: “The courtship starts now. No matter how long it takes, I will wait. No one will ever break you again.”
Claudine later responded with her own Instagram post, featuring the same photo, playfully writing, “Can you really wait??? No matter how long??? No one will break me? Swear?”, and tagging Milano in the post.
Their mutual friend, identified as @trishampil on Instagram, also commented, “I love this Clau and Miano. See you guys soon.”
To which Claudine warmly replied, “I miss you!!! Was telling Milano you’d always pick me up at home and bring me to yours, and we’d make kwento for hours. I really miss you.”
Fans of Claudine also expressed their excitement and support for the actress’s budding romance in the comments section of their posts.
“Kinikilig ako OMG! Ngayon ko na lang uli nakita mag-smile si Clau ng ganyan kasaya ❤️”, a netizen commented.
“Ano man po mangyari sa courtship n’yo isang lang ang wish ko maging happy at totally loved si Ms. Claudine. Hay my idol Claudine love you po gusto ko makitang masaya ka at in love… Sir good luck po…😊❤️🙏”, added another.
“Congratulations, love birds! So happy for you, madam! You are finally ready to love again😍 Stay Strong!! 🤍”, read another comment.
In a separate post on Threads, Claudine had earlier hinted at this budding romance with the statement, “Maybe this time… When my Mito (brother) died, he made sure to leave a very precious gift. You,” tagging the account of Sanchez.
According to his social media profile, Sanchez is a father of three daughters and is also involved in production work with his sister.
Meanwhile, Barretto was married to actor Raymart Santiago in 2004, but they separated in 2013 and have since been embroiled in ongoing annulment and property disputes.
