From Batangas to Manila, another Manzano, this time Luis’ dad Edu, has been hogging the headlines when he admitted to TV5 newscaster Cheryl Cosim that he and actress Cherry Pie Picache are on.
Cheryl in her newscast script asked Edu Manzano is the rumor linking him to Cherry Pie was true. “How true” was Cosim lead-in question? “You’re the funniest! Yes, my dear” was Edu’s snappy answer not once but twice when Cheryl would emphasize the query.
Doods and Pie’s romantic liaison controversy came about when photos of their intimate moments—although with friends—were spread all over social media which started in their respective Instagram.
The couple was in New York when they met up with their friends and colleagues like Janine Gutierrez and Arci Muñoz.
In one picture, Cherry Pie was smilingly leaning on Doods’ shoulder. In another group shot, Pie and Edu were always sitting beside each other. Still, in one photograph, the two were apparently happy together.
In a bar in New York, Edu and Cherry Pie were photographed together with Janine and Arci plus another female friend. Instantaneously, Gutierrez and Arci in their respective social media posts, had cheered on the sweetness and closeness of Manzano and Picache.
Pie and Doods also posted separately in their IG accounts their seeing and observing Broadway plays in the city that never sleeps like “Moulin Rouge.”
Obviously, Cherry Pie and Edu’s relationship started when they played estranged parents of Paulo Avelino in ABS-CBN’s TV drama “Marry Me, Marry You.”
Last September, when the actor celebrated his birthday, the actress had a long and emphatic messages to him especially about his achievements and personal traits admirable to a lot of people which she has also seen and appreciated so much.
There’s nothing wrong, really, in Doods and Pie’s relationship because they’re both singles.
Manzano got married to Vilma Santos and they have a son, Luis. When their union was dissolved, Edu got involved romantically with Maricel Soriano which ended in marriage but soon enough, they called it quits and eventually filed an annulment case.
After Maricel, Doods had a relationship with model Rina Samson and they are blessed with two kids, Addie and Enzo Manzano.
During the Pie-Doods controversy, people collectively noticed that he and social entrepreneur Iryne Garcia had unfollowed each other on Instagram prior to their being hot items.
