The drama and romance inside ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ continue to heat up as Kapuso housemate AZ Martinez has just made a surprising confession—she’s developing feelings for fellow Sparkle talent Dustin Yu.
The revelation took place during a candid conversation in the ‘PBB’ garden with housemate Esnyr Ranollo.
“May isi-share ako… May napanaginipan ako (lalaking housemate), napopogian ako sa kanya.”
Curious about who she was referring to, Esnyr pressed for details. That’s when AZ finally admitted: “Si Dustin, crush ko siya.”
The confession came as a shock to many viewers, considering that AZ has only been inside Bahay ni Kuya for just over a week. The unexpected love connection between her and Dustin has since sparked speculation among fans, with some wondering how this could affect her relationship outside the house.
Before entering PBB, AZ had been in a two-year relationship with fellow Sparkle talent Larkin Castor. However, prior to her housemate stint, she had already hinted at some tension in their relationship due to her boyfriend’s initial lack of support for her decision to join the reality show.
Castor later clarified his stance on social media, admitting that he had trust issues and was initially afraid that AZ might develop feelings for another guy inside the house. However, he later chose to support her dreams and wished her success.
With AZ’s recent confession about Dustin, fans are now speculating about the fate of her relationship with Castor once she exits Bahay ni Kuya.
Prior to her acting career, AZ Martinez was a beauty queen, competing in events like Miss Milo Olympics before eventually winning Miss Summit International 2023 in Florida, USA.
Since signing with GMA Network’s Sparkle in 2023, AZ has landed acting roles in ‘Lilet Matias: Attorney-at-Law,’ ‘Forever Young,’ and ‘The Missing Husband’. She has also appeared in ‘Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters’ and various Regal Studios Presents episodes.
With cameras tracking housemates 24/7, fans are eager to see how this new connection will unfold. Will AZ and Dustin develop a genuine romance, or will this just be another PBB housemate crush? And more importantly—how will Castor react once AZ leaves the house?
One thing’s for sure—’PBB: Celebrity Collab Edition’ just got even more interesting!
