transformations.
Paolo is currently single. While Paolo admits he doesn’t have a partner right now, he nonetheless states
that he is ready for a relationship.
Paolo’s sexual preference is a mystery and remains a mystery. With his internet sensation doing make-up
transformation, Paolo’s lovelife is like a camouflage that keeps everyone guessing his true preference.
Some quarters are insinuating that he is gay and living-in with Steve Torres. When interviewed on this,
Paolo would take a “neither confirmed nor denied” stance and would rather smartly joke on the
rumours.
Girlfriend
He however is known to have a relationship with Maria Katrina “Kaye” Nevada, a businessman’s
daughter and Paolo’s classmate in College. Paolo and Kaye’s relationship was only short lived. Paolo and
Kaye have only stayed together for about a year.
They have a daughter who is 8 years old now. In the past, Paolo and ex-girlfriend Kaye figured in a
controversy following a lawsuit with the parents of Kaye who took custody over their daughter. The
courts favored the custody of Paolo’s daughter to the pair.
However in recent years their daughter stayed with Kaye which is an amicable agreement between the
former couple.
Ciara Sotto
Even as paired with different female actresses in films and in television, Paolo remained elusive to off-
screen romance. On the other hand, he was rumoured to have a relationship then with Ciara Sotto,
daughter of Eat! Bulaga’s host and Senator Tito Sotto.
This was after they were paired in the noontime show they joined as segment hosts. Their team was
called by the fans as CiaPao following the first syllables of their name.
In an interview, Paolo was asked what his ideal love partner would be. He expressed that he would want
someone kind…and in a kidding tone, rich. He also mentioned that he would prefer a foreigner for a
partner.
On the other hand, Paolo has also expressed that he likes a woman who shows strength and has a mind
of her own. On this, Paolo’s top of the mind would be Angelina Jolie, whom is also Paolo’s favorite
subject on this own make-up transformation.
Views On Marriage
Paolo doesn’t talk about getting married as he says that he is not in a relationship currently. He is
confident though, that if the right person comes along, he would be ready for it.
