Has Ian Veneracion split with wife? Manager reacts

MANILA -- The manager of Ian Veneracion has denied reports that the actor is now separated from his wife, Pam Gallardo.

The rumors circulated after a tabloid linked the 41-year-old actor to FHM magazine's "sexiest woman" Jessy Mendiola.

According to Veneracion's manager Ricky Gallardo, the actor and his wife merely shrugged off the rumors.

"Natatawa lang kami kasi nabasa namin 'yon sa isang tabloid. Tawanan lang kami kasi nagdi-dinner kami – ako, si Pam, si Ian. Natatawa rin lang silang mag-asawa," Gallardo said in an interview with Push.


Gallardo added that Veneracion's love for his family is so strong that he would even refuse job offers that might affect his image.

“Kapag apektado 'yong anak niya, apektado 'yong pamilya niya, hindi niya tatanggapin, kahit P500,000 or whatever pa yan,” the manager said.

Best time for sex? Ian Veneracion asked

MANILA - Actor Ian Veneracion, who portrays Eduardo Buenavista on the hit primetime series "Pangako Sa 'Yo," was the guest on "Tonight with Boy Abunda" on Friday.

There, he was asked to do "Fast Talk" and answer a series of questions ranging from co-star Jodi Sta. Maria's sexiest quality to more raunchy ones about sex.

The 42-year-old Veneracion also talked about his role in the series and how it changed his life.

"Before I did 'Pangako,' I was already thinking to myself that I'm done with showbiz. I've been doing this my whole life and parang nagkakaroon ako ng mid-life crisis," he admitted.

"So sabi ko, 'I'll just do this last project and maybe explore travelling around the world.' Pero with the success of 'Pangako,' parang it's telling me that it is not up to me and this is the path that I have to take," he added.


Asked about the pressure of working with Sta. Maria, who prior to the series was part of the hit morning series "Be Careful With My Heart," Veneracion confidently said: "It didn't even cross my mind."
