During a press conference for his upcoming movie “The Unmarried Wife” on Monday, Avelino was asked to comment on the photos.

“I just don’t like people getting bashed or people making up things just to destroy a person because ayaw nila sa kanya or ayaw nila sa akin. Ayaw ko lang na may naba-bash. Ayaw ko siyang naba-bash,” he said.

The actor also confirmed that he is currently dating someone although he did not name any person in particular.

Avelino's last known relationship was with KC Concepcion.
