CONFIRMED: Ion Perez Allegedly Has a Child from a Past Relationship — Before His Marriage to Vice Ganda 💥👶💍

Manila, Philippines — In a revelation that’s making waves across social media, it has now been confirmed by multiple sources that Ion Perez, the charismatic co-host of It’s Showtime and real-life husband of Vice Ganda, allegedly has a child from a previous relationship — long before his life with the Unkabogable Star began.

While Ion has always kept his personal life extremely private, the news has stunned fans, sparked debates online, and raised questions about how this detail stayed under the radar — until now.

“Yes, the child exists — but it was never a secret to those close to him,” a close friend of Ion reportedly shared.

Before the Spotlight: Ion Perez’s Life Before Showbiz Fame

Before becoming a household name and one-half of one of the Philippines’ most followed celebrity couples, Ion Perez lived a simple provincial life. He once worked as a fitness coach, model, and pageant contestant.

It was during those years — according to sources — that Ion was in a serious relationship with a non-showbiz partner, and from that relationship, a child was reportedly born.

“They were young. The relationship ended peacefully. But Ion remained a responsible father,” a source close to the family revealed.

Why the Child Was Never Made Public

Fans are now asking: Why didn’t anyone know? Why wasn’t this talked about before the wedding?

Those close to Ion say he never denied his past, but simply chose to keep his child away from the spotlight for safety, privacy, and to allow them to live a normal life.

“Ion isn’t the type to use his child for publicity. He’s proud, but also protective,” said a former colleague.

They also claim that Vice Ganda has known about the child since the early days of their relationship, and fully supports Ion’s role as a parent.

Vice Ganda’s Reaction? “Nothing to Hide”

Though Vice Ganda has yet to make a public statement about the matter, sources say there’s no issue between the couple — and that the news being resurfaced now has “nothing to do with scandal.”

“Ion was honest with Vice from the start. They have nothing to hide,” said someone from the It’s Showtime circle.
“What people are reacting to now is old news to them.”

Fans React: Mixed Reactions but Mostly Supportive

The online world exploded after the news broke:

“So what if he has a kid? It’s his past, and he’s a good person now.”

“Vice knew. They love each other. End of story.”

“Why dig up someone’s history to stir drama?”

Hashtags like #IonPerez, #ViceIon, #IonHasAChild, and #LetThemBe trended, with thousands defending the couple’s right to privacy and peace.

A Quiet Father Behind the Scenes

Insiders say Ion continues to support his child emotionally and financially, and has always kept in touch with the mother, though they lead completely separate lives.

The child reportedly lives with their mother, who has chosen not to speak to the media.

“Ion is present when he can be. He never turned his back on his responsibility — he just never used it to boost his career,” said a longtime friend.

Conclusion: Real Love Isn’t Always Perfect — But It’s Honest

While the public may just be discovering this chapter of Ion Perez’s life, it seems that within his personal circle — including his marriage to Vice Ganda — there was never a secret, only silence out of respect.

This isn’t a scandal.
It’s just a reminder that public figures have private lives, filled with real stories, past loves, and untold responsibilities — none of which erase who they are today.

And today, Ion Perez is a husband, a performer, and — quietly — a father.

Vice Ganda, Ion Perez have a baby: ‘Our family is about to get a new member’
Celebrity couple Vice Ganda and Ion Perez have made a DECISION about having their own “baby.”

Yes, yes, yes, Marites! Vice and Ion’s family is about to get a new member, which is why the couple is super excited about the arrival of their baby in their home. Through Vice’s YouTube channel, he and his partner Ion announced that they have a “baby” that they will take care of and love for the rest of their lives.

“Of course, when I’m not around, of course, you need someone in the room, ‘the one you’re watching over,” the TV host-comedian began sharing in his latest vlog.

According to the comedian, he and Ion’s marriage will definitely be happier when their family grows. Vice believes that having a baby with Ion will serve as an inspiration in their lives.

“We want to have a baby to make our house happier, so we can share joy and have someone to make our new baby happy, we have someone to cherish, someone to love and take care of, so that life can be happier,” Vice Ganda said.

He continued, “So, we plan to have a baby to make the world better. When there are more happy people, the world is better.

“To be happy, we are going to add a member to our family so that our family can grow because there are only two of us,” added the Kapamilya superstar.

Towards the end of the vlog, the couple announced that they would adopt a black and white Pomeranian that they said they would treat like a real dog. There was no mention of when they would get the dog and what its name would be.

Last October, 2022, Vice and Ion celebrated their fourth anniversary as a couple. They got married in Las Vegas in October, 2021.

In an interview, Vice said that he is ready to have his own child through surrogacy, “It is difficult to have a baby but I can’t face it. But I really want it.

Of course, he won’t be the only one who will decide on this matter because he also has to consider the attitude of his partner Ion Perez.

“Actually, a big part of my life is that I don’t want to subject my child to the cruel world like scrutiny from the family, from the couple.

“But now I can protect my child. I want to but I can’t really face him because I have so much to do,” the comedian said.

In fact, there are times when he can’t follow his schedule because of his many commitments, not to mention the businesses he runs.

Aside from his regular work as the main host of “It’s Showtime”, he still has “Everybody, Sing!” and continues to create content for his YouTube channel.

“I went to America during the tour. I already arranged the schedule of who I would go with. We were able to schedule but I couldn’t go.

“I still don’t have the luxury of time to do other things that I want to do. Even though I have time, it’s still taken away,” said Vice Ganda.
