Cebu-based beauty queen Chella Falconer has denied rumors claiming she is the mystery woman in Tom Rodriguez’s newly revealed family photos. The speculation arose after Rodriguez introduced his partner and son, Korben, on June 5—without showing their faces.
On the same day, Falconer publicly introduced her own one-year-old son, Trevor, via Instagram, which led to online buzz linking her to the Kapuso actor. She shared that Trevor was born on March 2, 2024, and had been kept out of the spotlight for his safety and her peace of mind.
However, Falconer quickly addressed the rumors through an Instagram Story, writing: “Hi, everyone! Just to clarify, because comments are getting crazy. I’m not Tom Rodriguez’s girl, so let’s stop spreading false rumors.”
Falconer was set to represent Cebu Province in the Miss Universe Philippines 2025 pageant but quietly withdrew in April—without revealing her motherhood at the time.
Tom Rodriguez, previously married to actress Carla Abellana, has not revealed the identity of his current partner. The couple divorced in the U.S., with the marriage formally dissolved and recognized by the Philippine courts in June 2024. Rodriguez announced he had a child in November 2024 but has since kept his new partner out of the public eye.
