Singer-actor Sam Milby’s new series is said to have intimate moments with actress and YouTube star Ivana Alawi, but Sam’s girlfriend, Catriona Gray, seems unconcerned.

“Why would he need to ask permission from me? I mean, it’s his work. He doesn’t limit me to my work. He’s very supportive. I’m very supportive, much the same. I understand his craft as an actor doesn’t play into his personal life and I want to support him in every capacity that I can for his craft,” Miss Universe 2018 said after her quick speech as Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance brand ambassador.

When asked if she would seek Sam for permission if she had to play an adult character, she replied, “I wouldn’t ask permission in the first place.” I mean, it’s my own prerogative, right? “

“So ‘yun, should be my own decision.” I shouldn’t have to ask my partner for that. I think. That’s my personal thing .” Boy Abunda said in his PSN Showbiz column that Ivana admits to having a great crush on Sam.

“Kasi pinapanood ko na sila before, si Gerald and Sam. So I was very excited to work with them. Si Sam crush na crush ko siya dati. Napanood ko siya sa mga movies at teleserye niya sa ABS-CBN. Kaya nga natatakot ako, siyempre ‘pag naging crush mo isang tao tapos makakatrabaho mo, feeling ko nga very intimidating siya. Pero hindi pala, kabaligtaran pala. Natatakot ako na makaeksena siya. No’ng first time naming nagkita, puro siya biro. Gusto niya comfortable kaming lahat,” she added.
