There are things that happen in our lives that we don’t plan—they just happen. My life suddenly changed, everything fell apart, all the  plans were ruined.

Currently trending and being widely talked about on social media is the so-called “heartthrob mayor” of Pasig City, Vico Sotto, following reports that he has confirmed his relationship with actress and Eat Bulaga host Atasha Muhlach—a topic that has set the internet abuzz.

It can be recalled that for several months now, there have been rumors both inside and outside the showbiz industry speculating about a blossoming special relationship between Atasha and Vico. However, both parties appeared to brush off the rumors, choosing neither to confirm nor deny them.

Recently, a showbiz news site reported that Atasha and Vico were allegedly spotted on what seemed like a date, following the circulation of photos showing the two holding hands in public. According to several showbiz insiders, the rumors are true—Atasha and Vico are indeed in a relationship.

It was even said that when the mayor picks up the actress-TV host after work, their sweetness and closeness to each other are clearly noticeable—something very common between two people in love.

Today, their relationship was officially confirmed after a video clip went viral on social media. The clip featured an interview where Vico Sotto joyfully admitted that someone is now making his heart beat, and in that interview, he also confirmed that the woman he was referring to is none other than Atasha Muhlach.

Vico admitted the reason why he and Atasha initially kept their relationship private—because both of them wanted to preserve their privacy and avoid unnecessary drama or controversy surrounding their relationship.

Many fans and supporters expressed happiness over the news and wished that their relationship lasts, hopefully leading to a lifetime commitment in the future.
