Bea Alonzo (MNS Photo) Bea Alonzo just laughed off rumors that her boyfriend, actor Zanjoe Marudo, is supposedly cheating on her. Alonzo said she is 100 percent certain that Marudo is not cheating on her, especially during the actor’s overseas trips for work. “I am very very sure. Sana naman hindi niya ako ipahiya sa pagsasabi ko nito. Sometimes, talagang you know eh. I will not be in a relationship with Zanjoe kung hindi ako nagtitiwala sa kanya kasi feeling ko ‘yun ang pinakaimportanteng ingredient sa relasyon namin,” she said when asked about blind items apparently pertaining to their relationship. According to Alonzo, she learned about the rumors from a friend in Canada. “Meron nag-text sa akin. Sabi niya, ‘I hope you’re okay, I heard you’re going through something.’ Sabi ko, ‘Ha? Ano po yun?’ Sabi niya may blind item, tapos gusto pa daw niya si Zanjoe para sa akin. So tinignan ko, binasa ko para lang sabihin sa kanya kung totoo or hindi just to appease her ‘di ba? Binasa ko, nag-screen shot ako tapos pinabasa ko kay Zanjoe. Tawang tawa kaming dalawa,” she said. Bea Alonzo and Zanjoe Marudo (MNS photo) Asked if she ever confronted Marudo about the blind item, Alonzo said: “Hindi. Hindi talaga. Super biruan lang. Sabi ko ‘Kapal mo ah, cheat ka pa.’” Alonzo explained she just chooses to ignore such rumors because she and Marudo know the truth. Marudo and Alonzo have been in a relationship for three years now.(MNS)
