In an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” actor Jake Cuenca confirmed that he is now in a relationship with beauty queen Rabiya Mateo. Cuenca shared that Mateo officially agreed to be his girlfriend on May 18, 2026, while they were in Hong Kong, as she waited for the results of her entrance exam for the Medicine School of University of Santo Tomas (UST).
A Memorable Trip to Hong Kong
Cuenca revealed that the couple was at Disneyland when Mateo received a text message informing her that she had passed the exam. “It was truly an unforgettable trip because that’s also where I asked her to be my girlfriend. We’ve been dating for three months, and then finally, I asked her to be my girlfriend officially,” the Kapamilya actor shared.
Supporting Each Other
Cuenca also shared how he supported Mateo during her anxious wait for the exam results. “She was nervous because she’s on the waitlist for UST, so she didn’t know if she’s gonna get in. It’s not easy, so I told her, ‘Why don’t you come to Hong Kong with me? I have work there’,” he said.
Future Possibilities
Cuenca admitted that he sees a future with Mateo. “I can see it. I don’t wanna spoil it, I don’t want to speak too soon, but definitely with her, I can really see it. I’m really, really proud to say it. She’s an amazing woman, incredible woman and very intelligent,” he expressed.
