The gossip first made waves in October last year when social media users labeled Singson as the actress’s alleged "sugar addy" or financial backer. While Jillian Ward was deeply hurt and emotionally refuted the claims at the time, Singson decided to take a more lighthearted approach during his latest interview.

When asked if he had ever met the Kapuso star, Singson gave a surprising answer. “Sa awa ng Diyos, hindi pa,” he admitted. He explained that the rumors are quite puzzling since they haven't even had a face-to-face interaction. “Pero sana magkakilala [kami] para pareho naming i-dedeny to [make] everything [clear]. Kasi nagde-deny ako, nagde-deny siya, hindi magkaintindihan. Kailangang mag-meet to [deny] everything,” he added.
