Markki Stroem bravely answered questions about his relationship with Marvin Agustin and Piolo Pascual.
In his interview with Cristy Fermin for her Radyo Singko program on January 10, the actor revealed that both are just his friends.
Stroem has always had to deal with assumptions over his sexuality. He even slammed his bashers who claimed he was homosexual and forced him to disclose his sexual orientation.
“In terms of Marvin… Marvin, friend ko iyon.
“Hanggang ngayon, friend pa rin kami. And in my opinion, it is our world. We can be friends with whoever we want to be,” he said.
He also said that their friendship also has its ups and downs.
“Minsan we’re good friends, and minsan hindi masyadong good friends. Minsan hindi na kami okay. Minsan okay pa kami.”
Stroem also explained that the same goes for Pascual. He is simply friends with the actor.
“Same management din kami [ni Piolo]. We’re friends.
“Friends kami ngayon [ni Piolo], friends din kami ni Marvin, friends din kami actually… madami mga actors.
“But at the end of the day, nowadays, yung mga friends ko are outside of the industry,” he said.
Despite denying romantic relationships with the actors, netizens are still speculating that Markki had a relationship with Marvin and Piolo.
In July 2020, a photo of Markki and Marvin lying together on a bed trended online. The photo showed Markki smiling at the camera while Marvin who seemed sleeping was leaning on the former’s body.
Markki and Piolo are also often spotted jogging together in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
