Shuvee Etrata, a rising star under GMA Sparkle, has addressed speculation regarding Joshua Garcia’s intentions towards her, clarifying that the Kapamilya actor never pursued her romantically. During an interview on “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” Etrata responded to inquiries about whether Garcia attempted to court her, humorously remarking on her own disbelief at the idea of being wooed by someone of Garcia’s stature.
Etrata admitted to being a fan of Garcia and disclosed that their only interaction was a direct message (DM) Garcia sent her on Instagram, which she did not respond to, preventing any further communication. She explained her silence by saying she was overwhelmed by the attention and cautious about where even a simple reply could lead, especially considering her tendency to fall in love easily.
Despite the buzz the DM generated among her friends and followers, Etrata emphasized her current focus on her priorities and hinted at her cautious approach to relationships. She previously stated in interviews her belief in meaningful relationships over fleeting romances, suggesting she dates with long-term intentions in mind.
Joshua Garcia, known for his roles in popular series like “The Good Son,” had previously been linked romantically to actress Julia Barretto. Recently, there have been rumors about his connection with Filipino-French athlete Emilienne Vigier, although Garcia has not confirmed these speculations.
Etrata’s clarification puts to rest rumors of any romantic pursuit by Garcia, highlighting her respect for personal boundaries and her commitment to her career and personal growth.
