Is actor Markus Paterson seeing someone new?
Fans are buzzing after the ex-boyfriend of Janella Salvador posted an Instagram Story showing himself driving alongside a fair-skinned woman with red and brown hair.
The photo, which had no caption, immediately fueled speculation about a possible new relationship.

Some netizens were quick to notice that the photo resembled an old snapshot of Markus and Janella when they were still together in the United Kingdom—where their son Jude was born.
While Markus and Janella have long gone their separate ways, many pointed out that the actress is now focused on raising their four-year-old son in the Philippines. Markus, meanwhile, has been spending time in the UK, where he’s reportedly based at the moment.
Fans and online commenters had mixed reactions to Markus’s post. Others speculated about the woman’s identity, saying she resembled several local celebrities.
Despite the speculation, Markus has not released any statement about the woman in the photo.
Meanwhile, Janella Salvador recently appeared on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’, where she briefly addressed her separation from Markus. She shared that both of them continue to co-parent Jude, ensuring he feels loved by both parents despite their split.
“But ngayon, okay naman kami. Just during that time, we realized na hindi namin kayang tumira sa isang bahay together,” Janella said, adding that Markus has acknowledged his shortcomings in their past relationship.
As of now, LionhearTV remains open to hearing Markus’s side should he wish to address the dating rumors surrounding his viral post.
