Speculation is swirling online after a photo of Marco Gumabao surfaced, showing him seated beside a pretty young woman believed by netizens to be his new romantic interest.
The screenshot, reportedly taken from an Instagram Reel posted by Sam YG, shows Marco looking relaxed and playful as he chats closely with the woman beside him. The casual yet intimate vibe of the moment was enough to send netizens into full sleuth mode, with many asking for the identity of the mystery girl.
Online users were quick to identify her as Yukii Takahashi, an up-and-coming actress who gained attention last year for her role in ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’, where she played Camille—the character who became pregnant by David, portrayed by McCoy De Leon.
According to those who watched the original video, Marco and Yukii appeared comfortable and familiar with each other, prompting comments that their interactions had clear “galawang magdyowa” energy. This led to speculation that the actor may be doing a “soft launch” of a new relationship following his highly publicized breakup with Cristine Reyes.

Fans were quick to point out that Cristine has long since gone public with her new boyfriend, Gio Tingson, making it unsurprising for Marco to also be seen moving on. Many netizens even welcomed the possibility, noting that both Marco and Yukii are single and seemingly well-matched.
Social media reactions ranged from kilig-filled approval to playful curiosity. Comments included observations about their chemistry, compliments on Yukii’s “bombshell vibes,” and remarks that the two look good together despite their age gap. Others recalled that Yukii was previously linked to dancer Ken San Jose, adding another layer to the online chatter.
As of writing, neither Marco nor Yukii has confirmed or denied the rumors. Still, the sighting has placed both under the spotlight, with fans closely watching for any official confirmation.
