‘Not his girl’: Former MUPH candidate reacts to being linked to Tom Rodriguez

Cebuana beauty queen Chella Falconer has denied rumors about being the woman in Tom Rodriguez’s photos with his partner and their child, contrary to what some netizens have been discussing online.

The former Miss Universe Philippines Cebu 2025 representative took to her Facebook account to address circulating rumors about being linked to the Kapuso actor who recently became a hot topic online after uploading photos of him, and his unidentified non-showbiz partner and their son, Korben.

Netizens seemed to have come up with the allegation after Falconer’s revelation about being a mother and parenting her son, Trevor, when she competed in Miss Universe Philippines 2025 coincided with Tom’s post about his family.

In a Facebook post made on July 5, Chella clarified, “Hi everyone! Just to clarify, 🥹I’m not Tom Rodriguez’s girl so please let’s stop spreading false rumors. 🥰”.

Her post came with screenshots of online posts made by online user “Reel Life Gerlie” who alleged the celebrities’ supposed relationship.

“Coincidence ba? Overthink malala,” the post read with the uploader even tagging Chella and Tom’s Facebook accounts.

Chella was crowned Miss Universe Philippines Cebu Tourism 2025 last year and was set to represent Cebu Province in the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant. She, however, withdrew from the competition after explaining her need to take “a different path”.
