Toni Gonzaga Supports Boyfriend Direk Paul Soriano by Attending his Movie

TV host-singer Toni Gonzaga has put to rest speculations that all is not well between her and boyfriend Paul Soriano by attending the premiere of his movie, "Thelma," at SM Megamall on Sept. 4.

“Ang ganda ng pelikula,” Toni told Bulletin Entertainment and other members of the press at the after screening party.

The controversial actress admits getting teary eyed over some scenes in the film.

“Back-to-back kami ni Ate Uge (Eugene Domingo’s nickname). Hindi na kami magkandaugaga ni Ate Uge sa pagiyak,” she said.

Recall that Paul, Toni and Maja hogged headlines recently after rumors spread that something romantic brews between Paul and Maja behind Toni's back. Paul and Maja had flatly denied the issue even as Toni herself said nothing of that nature is going on.

Maja broke down when she addressed the issue a few days back. “Masyado na. Tinatapakan na masyado ‘yung pagkatao ko. Tao lang din po ako na nasasaktan. Hindi porke’t artista...,” she said between sobs.

Paul in a separate Bulletin Entertainment report only shook his head when asked about the rumor. He dubbed the rumors "unfortunate" and "unfair” since he only sees Maja “like a little sister.”

He insisted that what he and Maja have is a “work relationship” and that linking them together was”unnecessary.”

How does Toni feel about it? The report mentioned that Paul is "certain" that Toni is unaffected by the issue because they are “very secure” about their relationship.

Asked to comment about Maja's tearful interview on "The Buzz" where she admitted causing the fistfight between Matteo Guidicelli and Coco Martin on Sept. 3, Toni simply said, "Irespeto na lang natin kung ano yung mga nangyayari at pinagdadaanan niya [Maja].

"Bata pa si Maja hindi siguro makakatulong kung marami pa tayong magsasalita para sa kanya. Hayaan na lang natin siya on her own. I think what she needs right now is the love and support na mabibigay ng tao sa kanya especially in this tough time that she’s going through."

“Thelma” tells the story of a teenage barrio girl from Ilocos Norte who uses her gift for running to improve her life and those of her loved ones. The movie also stars Tetchie Agbayani, John Arcilla, Eliza Pineda, Jason Abalos, Sue Prado and with the special participation of Philippine Track and Field champion Elma Muros.
