Actress Andrea Brillantes addressed long-standing public assumptions about her dating life, particularly the belief that she tends to be linked with basketball players.

In a recent vlog episode of broadcast journalist Karen Davila, Andrea clarified that she does not intentionally ask about a man’s profession when getting to know someone she is dating. According to her, she often only discovers the details later on when she is already interested in the person.

She explained that the perception of her dating basketball players has been repeatedly brought up online, but she believes it is purely coincidental. Andrea pointed out that basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines, making it common for many men she meets to know how to play the game.

“Nalalaman ko na lang kunwari ‘pag gusto ko na ‘yong tao, ‘Oh, my gosh! Nagba-basketball pala siya. Ta’s naiisip ko, alam ko na sasabihin ng mga tao, another basketball player na naman.’”

She further clarified the misconception, saying:

“But hindi ‘yon ‘yong type ko. Hindi ‘yon ‘yong hanap ko. Nagkakataon lang kasi ‘yon ang number one sports sa Philippines. Every guy here in the Philippines knows how to play basketball. So it just so happens,”

The conversation gained attention online as fans revisited her past relationships, including former boyfriend Ricci Rivero, who is also a basketball player.

She was also previously linked to Filipino-Jordanian varsity player Samuel “Sam” Fernandez, adding to the public narrative that she prefers athletes. However, Andrea stressed that these connections were not intentional patterns but rather coincidences shaped by her social environment.

Currently, she is in a relationship with basketball player Franchesko Juan Capistrano, which once again fueled online discussions about her dating history. Despite this, Andrea maintained that her choices are based on personal connection rather than profession.

The actress’ clarification aimed to correct what she described as a repeated misunderstanding about her personal life, especially on social media where narratives can quickly form and spread.
