Jak Roberto, a Kapuso actor, releases statement on his and his girlfriend, actress Barbie Forteza’s choice to walk the GMA Gala 2023 red carpet solo.

When Barbie walked solo on the red carpet, she quickly became the focus of a lot of fans’ attention. Many people are aware that she has been in a six-year relationship with Jak, while her current onscreen partner is David Licauco.

Jak Roberto was questioned regarding their decision to make their solo red carpet walk in an interview according to a source story.

The star stated that he was “dateless” and Barbie again this year. “Talagang solo-solo, nag-usap na kami na solo-solo kaming maglalakad sa red carpet para mas ma-emphasize ‘yung damit, mag-thank you sa designers, mas may spot kumbaga,” he said.

Barbie Forteza said, “Kailangan ba [ng date]? Oh hindi naman pala eh,” when asked why she wasn’t with her boyfriend on the red carpet.
