Coney Reyes Drops Bombshell: Urges Charlene Gonzales to Accept Atasha and Vico’s Pregnancy News!

In a development no one saw coming, veteran actress and respected figure Coney Reyes has stunned fans and insiders alike by delivering a powerful message directed at Charlene Gonzales — urging her to fully accept and embrace the surprising news of Atasha Muhlach and Vico Sotto’s alleged pregnancy.

Sources close to the families revealed that Coney, known for her calm and motherly demeanor, could no longer stay silent after whispers of behind-the-scenes tension surfaced. According to insiders, Charlene, mother of Atasha, was reportedly struggling to come to terms with her daughter’s sudden and very public relationship with Vico — much less the bombshell rumor that Atasha might already be expecting.

“Coney has always believed that love, support, and family unity are what matter most in times like this,” a source disclosed. “She felt the need to step in, not just for Atasha and Vico, but for the future of their growing family.”

The private talk between Coney and Charlene, described as emotional and “full of truth bombs,” has now become the stuff of showbiz legend.
Coney’s message was clear:

“This is not the time for judgment, but for unconditional love. We must all embrace the new life that is coming. Atasha and Vico deserve our support, not our doubts.”

Witnesses say that Coney spoke with a blend of firmness and compassion, making it clear that harboring resentment or hesitation would only hurt everyone involved — especially the young couple facing the biggest moment of their lives.

Speculation about Atasha’s alleged pregnancy had been swirling for weeks, ever since eagle-eyed fans noticed her appearing at events wearing noticeably looser outfits and strategically covering her midsection. Despite attempts to keep the matter private, the rumor mill went into overdrive — and now, with Coney’s apparent confirmation through her message, it seems the whispers might have been more than just gossip.

Meanwhile, Vico Sotto, known for being fiercely private, has kept silent, neither confirming nor denying the news. However, close friends suggest that he is “ready to take on the responsibility” and has the full blessing of his mother, Coney Reyes.

Charlene, for her part, has remained tight-lipped, fueling even more speculation about her true feelings regarding the matter. Some say she was blindsided by the rapid developments in her daughter’s life, while others believe she simply needed time to process the news before giving her full support.

Fans of both prominent families are now watching with bated breath, hoping for a peaceful resolution and the public acknowledgment of what could be one of the most talked-about unions in recent history.

If there’s anything clear in this tangled web of love, legacy, and loyalty, it’s that Coney Reyes stands firmly behind her son and the woman he loves — ready to fight for their right to happiness and family, no matter what storms may come.

As Coney herself once famously said,

“Family is a gift from God. We must never turn our backs on it — especially when it needs us the most.”

In this case, those words have never rung more true — and they might just be the key to healing whatever divides remain.

Coney Reyes, 70, admitted that she has given up on probing the love life of her son, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, 35.

The veteran actress initially refused when Boy Abunda asked if Vico is approached by girls.

But Boy insisted. Coney was a guest on the episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on September 2, 2024, Monday.

Coney was asked if girls approach her son.

Coney said, “Maybe. Many people are really into it even though we don’t know each other, right? Many, really many.”

CONEY SAYS SHE DOES NOT MEDDLE WITH VICO’S LOVE LIFE
Coney clarified that she does not interfere when it comes to her son’s love life with Vic Sotto.

“I don’t interfere,” Coney insisted.

She added, “But there are those who want to, ‘Auntie, let’s introduce this person to this person.’

“I said, ‘Sorry, I don’t interfere.’ Then they would tell me, ‘Oh, Auntie is strict.’

Coney reportedly replied, “Oh, not strictly. I’m not strict. If I were strict, no, it’s not allowed. Nothing.”

Coney was further questioned as to whether she used to ask Vico if there was someone who made his heart beat faster and when he was going to get married.

“I’ve stopped doing that to him,” Coney replied.

She admitted that she used to ask her son about things like this.

The actress said, “Back in the day. Back then. Like, ‘Do you have a girlfriend now? Do you like somebody?’”

But Coney insisted, “Back then. Back then, back then, back then. I don’t want to.”

Coney was also asked if Vico had ever introduced a girlfriend to him before.

“No,” Coney quickly replied. “So I… well, he had ‘girl friends’… friends, classmates before, things like that…

“And they would all go out as a group, you know, they would all go out of town, or something like that, for a break when there were poor people.”

CONEY REYES ON VICO ENTERING POLITICS
But Coney insisted that she has confidence in her children because she raised them to be good.

“I know I’ve raised my children in a way that they know… they have the fear of God. They know what they’re doing.”

In the interview, Coney also said that she was “a little surprised” when Vico decided to enter politics.

But despite this, she supported her son and chose to respect Vico’s decision.

“I know he doesn’t just make decisions overnight like that.

“It’s like he consults, he prays.

“As long as I’m so blessed I’m so proud and I just want to encourage him because he’s on the right track and God is with him.
