For years, whispers surrounding Alicia Mayer and Joey Marquez refused to disappear.
Their past romance had already generated plenty of showbiz intrigue, but one explosive question continued to follow the former actress: Did she and the veteran actor secretly have a child together?
Now, after years of speculation, Alicia has finally delivered the answer herself—and she did not leave room for interpretation.
“No. There was none,” Alicia declared during her rare appearance on The Snooky Serna Channel.
“I’ll answer for him because he did not answer it,” she added, referring to a previous interview in which Joey was reportedly asked about the alleged child but did not give a direct response.
The actor’s silence apparently helped fuel the rumor, leaving fans and gossip watchers wondering whether there was more to the story. Alicia, however, has now shut down the speculation with an emphatic denial.
Alicia Revisits Her High-Profile Romances
During the candid conversation, Alicia also looked back on her relationships with two of Philippine showbiz’s most recognizable leading men—Joey Marquez and Edu Manzano.
Both actors were once part of her romantic past, but Alicia insisted that neither relationship ended in a major scandal or bitter confrontation.
She described Edu as “very pleasing,” affectionate and attentive. However, she admitted that their relationship may have moved too quickly.
“I would say that our decision happened very fast,” she recalled.
Eventually, they decided that completely cutting communication was the best way to prevent the situation from becoming more complicated.
“We just had to stop talking to each other. I think whenever we continued talking, things became more confusing, so we both decided to completely stop the connection,” she explained.
What Alicia Loved About Joey
When the discussion shifted to Joey, Alicia remembered him as kind, caring and willing to provide for the people close to him.
Those qualities reportedly attracted her to the veteran actor during their time together.
But despite her warm memories, the persistent allegation that they had a child remained one of the most controversial stories linked to their romance.
Alicia’s latest statement appears intended to put the matter to rest once and for all.
Her message was unmistakable: Whatever happened between her and Joey belonged to their romantic past—but there was no secret child.
A New Man, A Different Kind of Love
Alicia also opened up about her current partner, revealing that he is far from the jealous or controlling type.
In fact, she said he sometimes encourages her to become more daring with her fashion choices whenever he feels she is dressing too conservatively.
“He is not jealous,” Alicia shared. “Sometimes, he is even the one pushing me. When he thinks what I’m wearing is too conservative, he tells me, ‘No, wear this. You look so good.’”
According to Alicia, her partner takes pride in seeing his wife feel beautiful and confident.
After years away from the showbiz spotlight, Alicia’s rare interview offered viewers an unexpected glimpse into the romances, rumors and personal choices that once made her one of entertainment’s most talked-about personalities.
And while her relationships with Joey and Edu may still fascinate the public, Alicia has finally drawn a firm line under the most persistent rumor of them all.
There was no secret baby—and this time, she made sure everyone heard the answer.
