😱 IS IT TRUE?! HEART EVANGELISTA REPORTEDLY REVEALS DNA TEST RESULTS—IS BRANDON BOYD REALLY THE FATHER?

🗓️ May 25, 2025

🔥 SOCIAL MEDIA ON FIRE

In a whirlwind of speculation, rumors are swirling across social media that Heart Evangelista, the Philippines’ style icon and actress, has allegedly revealed the results of a DNA test that reportedly names Brandon Boyd, the American rock star and lead vocalist of Incubus, as the father of her unborn child.

This unverified report, originally spread by anonymous social media accounts, has taken the internet by storm. It began trending late Thursday night, when a now-deleted post claiming to have “insider info” went viral on X (formerly Twitter), followed by a flood of YouTube gossip channels and TikTok reaction videos fanning the flames.

But is there any truth to these claims?

🤔 WHERE DID THE RUMOR START?

The rumor appears to have stemmed from an anonymous online account claiming to have seen “documents” regarding a DNA test linked to Evangelista’s alleged pregnancy. Within hours, the claim was reshared by local showbiz forums and fan pages, some of which began creating speculative narratives linking Evangelista and Boyd romantically—despite no official connection ever having been confirmed.

Adding fuel to the fire were a few vague photos showing Evangelista at a private clinic earlier this month. Some netizens claimed she was undergoing tests, while others pointed out she looked visibly emotional in one shot.

Despite the buzz, no credible source has published or confirmed the existence of a DNA test or any medical documents.

👤 WHO IS BRANDON BOYD?

For those unfamiliar, Brandon Boyd is best known as the charismatic frontman of the alternative rock band Incubus, famous for hits like Drive, Wish You Were Here, and Megalomaniac. He’s also a visual artist and writer, known for his introspective lyrics and bohemian persona.

Boyd has previously visited the Philippines for concerts, and some netizens speculate that a connection between him and Evangelista could have begun during one of his past visits. However, there is no known public interaction between the two beyond vague fan rumors and unverified social media “sightings.”

👑 WHO IS HEART EVANGELISTA?

Heart Evangelista, born Love Marie Ongpauco Escudero, is a household name in the Philippines. A former actress turned fashion darling and humanitarian, she has represented the country at Paris Fashion Week, collaborated with international designers, and built a strong following as a style icon.

She is also the wife of Chiz Escudero, former senator and current governor of Sorsogon. Their relationship has been widely publicized, with occasional rumors surfacing regarding their personal life—but neither Heart nor Chiz has publicly spoken about any separation or marital issues.

🕵️‍♀️ HAS HEART EVANGELISTA CONFIRMED THE RUMOR?

No. As of this publication, Heart Evangelista has made no public comment on the alleged DNA test or on any pregnancy rumors.

Her official social media accounts have remained focused on fashion campaigns, charity work, and endorsements. Recent Instagram stories show her attending private art events and brand meetings, with no visible baby bump or reference to a pregnancy.

In short, there is no confirmation—direct or indirect—that she is pregnant, let alone that Brandon Boyd is involved.

🗣️ PUBLIC REACTION: MIXED EMOTIONS

As with any major celebrity rumor, the internet has quickly divided into camps: those who believe, those who doubt, and those just here for the drama.

Some fans express shock, some send support, while others criticize the public for invading her privacy.

“Even if it were true, it’s her personal life. Let’s wait for her to speak, not judge based on gossip,” one fan commented on TikTok.

Others are calling out vloggers and tabloid pages for sensationalizing the issue without concrete evidence.

💬 MEDIA EXPERTS: “THIS IS A TEXTBOOK VIRAL RUMOR”

We spoke with digital media analyst Carla Y. Ortega, who commented on how easily unverified content spreads in today’s algorithm-driven platforms.

“When it comes to celebrities like Heart Evangelista, who are both admired and constantly scrutinized, a single post—especially one involving something as emotional as pregnancy or paternity—can explode in minutes. The platforms reward engagement, not truth.”

📚 FLASHBACK: OTHER CELEBRITY DNA DRAMAS

This isn’t the first time a Filipino celebrity has been caught in a whirlwind of DNA-related rumors. From speculative paternity cases involving high-profile actors to disputed family ties aired live on national TV, Philippine showbiz has a long history with this type of drama.

However, many of these cases end in quiet denials, legal actions, or statements clarifying misinformation. It’s worth noting that no such action or statement has yet come from Heart Evangelista or Brandon Boyd.

📣 BRANDON BOYD: SILENCE ON HIS END

As of today, Brandon Boyd has made no comment on the rumor. His latest Instagram posts show art exhibitions and music updates, with no reference to the Philippines or any personal matters.

His team has not responded to media inquiries about the alleged paternity link.

🤫 SHOULD THE PUBLIC EVEN KNOW?

Ethically speaking, pregnancy and paternity are deeply personal matters, and no one—not even a public figure—is obligated to disclose such details unless they choose to.

Legal expert Atty. Jhoanna Reyes warns about the repercussions of spreading unverified claims.

“If this rumor proves false, those who circulated or monetized it may be liable for defamation. Celebrities have the right to privacy, and so do their families—especially when minors or unborn children are involved.”

📝 CONCLUSION: LET’S WAIT FOR THE FACTS

While the rumor is certainly headline-grabbing, there is no verified evidence to support the claim that Heart Evangelista has taken a DNA test, is pregnant, or has identified Brandon Boyd as the father.

Until an official statement is made, the respectful approach is to treat the matter as private and avoid amplifying potentially harmful misinformation.
