Ellen Adarna did not make an appearance at the Bench fashion show at Mall of Asia Arena on Saturday, fueling further speculation that she is pregnant.

Weeks prior, the actress posted on Facebook a promotional photo for the event featuring her, which led many to believe that she would be walking the runway with the likes of Solenn Heussaff and Lovi Poe.

Her absence renewed talks about her possibly being pregnant, with Pep claiming, hours after the fashion show, without naming sources, that she is carrying John Lloyd Cruz's child.

The report also said that her pregnancy was the reason behind her no-show.

Adarna has yet to post anything on social media about the issue.

It was last month when rumors began claiming that she is expecting, with Cruz, whom she is being romantically linked with, said to be the father.

Her name was dragged into the mill after many assumed that veteran newscaster Jay Sonza was referring to her when he opened about his niece's pregnancy.

The Kapamilya actress has already denied this with Pep, saying that he and Sonza are not related.
