Actress Ara Mina clarified that she never had a romantic relationship with Manny Pacquiao despite long-standing rumors linking them.
She said they were only linked because they starred in a movie together and recalled Pacquiao once admitting that he had a crush on her.
Ara also said she did not consider Pacquiao’s actions as formal courtship.
She confirmed that she dated other personalities in the past, including Jomari Yllana and former Bulacan mayor Patrick Meneses, with whom she has a daughter.
Ara is now married to businessman Dave Almarinez.
