Trina Candaza shut down rumors that she's in a relationship with a “rich” man who allegedly funds her lifestyle. 

The celebrity mom recently took to her Instagram account to share the things she’s most grateful for this year, which included the support from her friends and family who have been with her amid the “struggles, unexpected, problems, and wrong decisions” she faced in the past.

She also expressed her gratitude to brand collaborations and other work commitments that help her “sustain [her] lifestyle and needs.”

“2024 has been a year of lessons—some easy, others not so much. Grateful for every single one,” she wrote in the caption. 

Social media users celebrated her wins in the comments section, with one of them bringing up rumors about her love life.

“Tama 'tong post na 'to para makita ng mga haters na hindi dahil sa rumored BF mo kaya mo na-afford lahat. I know you’re better than those rumors. I look up to you as a single mom din,” the Instagram user commented.

Trina, for her part, set the record straight about the speculations, noting that she’s currently single and that she works hard to provide for herself and her daughter, Enola Mithi, whom she shares with Carlo Aquino.

“I've heard the rumors about me nga. Pero no, I'm not dating anyone right now. And I work very hard to provide a good life for me and my daughter,” she wrote.

“I fully understand that there will always be assumptions from other people—and that’s okay. But I am the best person to tell my story because I live it,” she continued. 

Trina became a hot topic last weekend after photos of her with an unnamed businessman made the rounds on social media.

She was previously in a relationship with Aquino, who is now married to Charlie Dizon

The ex-couple is now following a co-parenting setup for their daughter. They have been seen reuniting in special occasions, like Mithi’s second birthday in 2022 and her moving-up ceremony in May 2023.
