Former SexBomb Girls member and dancer-host Sugar Mercado revealed that she had been in a relationship with veteran TV host Willie Revillame.

In a recent interview with entertainment vlogger Ogie Diaz, Sugar confirmed that she had a seven-year relationship with Willie, years after they were romantically linked during their stint on the variety show “Wowowin.”

I’m not sure. He never admitted it. I’d be so shameless if I were the one to admit it when he never did. Maybe we just bonded—who knows,” Sugar quipped but admitted her feelings were genuine.

“I never regretted anything that happened in my life, and I also admit that I truly loved that person—deeply. You know he’s a private person,” she continued.

The dancer also shared that her two children had formed a close bond with Revillame, describing him as a consistent and caring presence in their lives.

“Until now, that will always be a part of our lives—me and my children. He’ll always have a place in our hearts for life. I have nothing bad to say about him because he truly loved the kids,” Sugar added.

Sugar and Willie co-hosted “Wowowin” for several years, fueling speculation about their relationship. Both had previously denied any romantic involvement.

Willie has yet to comment on Sugar’s statements publicly.
