The rumors about Rodriguez and Fernando gained momentum after a photo of the two surfaced on social media, where they were seen posing in front of a luxury car, with Rodriguez holding a bouquet of flowers. This photo went viral, especially in the days leading up to the elections. Despite the growing chatter, neither Rodriguez nor Fernando has directly addressed the claims.

In one of her TikTok videos, the 30-year-old actress was seen lip-syncing to Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love,” with the lyrics, “I don’t care what they say, I’m in love with you; they try to pull me away, but they don’t know the truth.”

A netizen commented, “Dedma sa basher basta may Daniel Fernando (Don’t mind the bashers as long as you have Daniel Fernando).”


Rodriguez, in her usual playful manner, responded with, “Pikit (close your eyes),” followed by a laughing emoji, subtly brushing off the comment.

In another video, Rodriguez lip-synced to the Filipino lyrics, “Nakatapos ako ng pag-aaral, pero dahil sa pagmamahal ko sayo, naging tanga ako sa lahat, kahit Tagalog ng I don’t know, hindi ko alam.”

(Translation: I finished my studies, but because of my love for you, I became foolish in everything, I don’t even know the Tagalog for ‘I don’t know.’)

A different netizen commented, “Fresh naman. Iba talaga alagang Gov Daniel (You look so fresh. It’s different when you have a governor to take care of you).”

Rodriguez cheekily replied, “Taray ng username mo @alwaysbekindtoothers (You have a great username @alwaysbekindtoothers).”


Despite the humorous responses, some fans defended Rodriguez, pointing out that there was nothing inappropriate about a potential relationship since Fernando, who is 63, is single. A quick look at Fernando's social media profile reveals no mention of him being married, and he has been serving as the governor of Bulacan since 2019.

As of now, both Rodriguez and Fernando have yet to comment directly on the dating speculations.
