Miss Universe Philippines Cebu Province Chella Grace Falconer has spoken out to address rumors circulating online that falsely link her to actor Tom Rodriguez.
The beauty queen took to social media to shut down the speculation, saying: “Hi everyone! Just to clarify, I’m not Tom Rodriguez’s girl, so let’s stop spreading false rumors. ”
Falconer’s clarification comes after Rodriguez recently shared photos of his partner and their baby boy, Korben, on Instagram. The intimate photos, taken by Bundle of Joy Studio, only showed Tom’s face, while the faces of his partner and son were turned away—leading netizens to speculate on the identity of the woman, with some claiming it was Falconer.
The rumors gained more traction when Chella posted a photo of her baby on her own social media account, prompting assumptions that she might be the mother of Rodriguez’s child.
She has since urged the public to stop spreading misinformation and respect her privacy.
Rodriguez, for his part, posted a heartfelt caption alongside the family photos: “Some treasures in life are too sacred to put on full display. This isn’t about hiding… it’s about holding.”
He described his partner and son as his “sanctuary and peace,” adding: “In a world that often demands a performance, they are where I’m most real.”

Rodriguez first revealed that he had become a father in November 2024. He has chosen to keep his family life largely private, making the recent photos his first public gesture showing his partner and son.
