The actor discussed his love life during his appearance on KALURKS! on Sunday, November 8, where host DJ Jhai Ho asked him about the celebrities he had been romantically linked to throughout his career.
Keempee identified Manilyn as his first girlfriend in showbiz, recalling that they dated for four months. He explained that relationships during the That’s Entertainment era were often youthful and not as serious as adult relationships.
“Hindi kasi nu'ng mga panahon ng That's Entertainment, mga partner-partner lang e, puppy-puppy love pa lang. Iba talaga 'yung love-love talaga.”

Keempee also emphasized that he was never the type to hide his relationships from the public. According to him, he was open about his feelings whenever he genuinely liked someone.
“Ako wala akong itinatago e. Very transparent ako kasi. 'Pag alam kong gusto ko 'yung tao, I flaunt it. Kumbaga, hindi mo kailangan itago, kailangan ipagsigawan mo nga na gusto mo 'tong taong 'to.”
During the conversation, DJ Jhai Ho mentioned several actresses who had been linked to Keempee, including Donna Cruz, Vina Morales, Carmina Villarroel, Ara Mina, Ina Raymundo, Jessa Zaragoza, G. Toengi, Manilyn Reynes, and Pauline Luna.
When asked if there were other names that had been left out, Keempee jokingly replied:
“To follow na lang 'yung iba.”
The discussion eventually turned to his biggest what-if relationship. Among the actresses mentioned, Keempee identified Carmina as his TOTGA, noting that their relationship lasted significantly longer than his other romances.
“Ako very vocal naman ako. Alam na rin ng mga tao rito, even 'yung mga sa showbiz, si Carmina. Kasi siya 'yung pinakamatagal e... mga two years and a half.”
Keempee was also asked whether all of his past showbiz relationships ended on good terms. He admitted that this was not always the case.
“Mayroong hindi.”
However, the actor said he eventually reached out to his former partners and apologized for his mistakes. He added that they are now on good terms, extending the friendship to their spouses as well.
His candid revelations offered a glimpse into the actor’s past romances while also showing how he has come to terms with mistakes from his younger years.
Keempee de Leon is the son of veteran comedian-host Joey de Leon and actress Daria Ramirez, and he grew up mostly with his mother in the United States before returning to the Philippines at 13 and eventually becoming closer to his father. He rose to fame as a teen idol through That’s Entertainment, Eat Bulaga! and Villa Quintana, became known for his signature 1990s “Keempee” hairstyle and several high-profile showbiz romances, and later made headlines for his estrangement and eventual reconciliation with Joey after years of being apart.
In another report, Mavy Legaspi recalled an uncomfortable experience from the early part of his acting career when he was only 17. He said a director allegedly reprimanded and embarrassed him after he made a lighthearted comment about swimming when rain began during a pool scene. According to Mavy, the director misunderstood the remark as a possible jab at another actor, although he clarified that he had no intention of targeting anyone. His parents, Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi, were reportedly surprised when they learned about the incident because Mavy had chosen to deal with it without involving them.
Meanwhile, Zoren Legaspi opened up about how his family’s relationship has changed as his twins, Mavy and Cassy, entered adulthood. He observed that instead of growing more distant as his children became independent, their family actually became closer over time. Mavy recalled that he and Cassy were more secretive with their parents when they were younger, but communication within the family has since remained active through their group chat. He also admitted that there are times when the twins create a separate group chat that does not include their father.
