Social media has done it again — turning a single photo into a full-blown rumor mill. This time, the spotlight is on singer-songwriter and LGBTQ+ advocate Ice Seguerra, who trended unexpectedly after netizens began speculating that he was pregnant.

Yes, you read that right.

The claims were fueled by a single photo showing Ice during a public appearance with his wife, former FDCP chair Liza Diño. In the image, some netizens claimed to have spotted a “baby bump,” prompting thousands of shares, memes, and edited images suggesting that Ice Seguerra was expecting a child.

But as fast as the rumor spread, Ice himself shut it down even faster.

Ice Breaks His Silence: “I Am Not Pregnant”

Taking to Facebook, Ice responded in typical fashion — witty, direct, and with no time for nonsense. Posting a screenshot of the viral meme, he wrote in all caps:

“I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! That’s just belly fat.”

The statement was met with applause from fans and fellow celebrities alike, many of whom praised Ice for addressing the situation with both humor and grace.

A Familiar Rumor in a Modern Age

This isn’t the first time Ice has been caught in the crossfire of public speculation. Back in 2019, he was similarly subjected to pregnancy jokes — and just like now, he met them with disarming wit.

“Ayos! May excuse na ako kung bakit ako mataba,” he quipped then.

But beneath the jokes lies a deeper issue: the constant scrutiny of public figures’ bodies, especially transgender individuals. Ice, a transgender man, has long been open about his journey and his advocacy. While his openness has inspired many, it has also made him a frequent target of invasive assumptions.

Adding Fuel to the Fire: Their Real Plans for Parenthood

It didn’t help that Ice and Liza have previously been vocal about their plans to build a family through IVF. In past interviews, the couple shared that Liza would carry the child, using a donor sperm and Ice’s egg. Their courage in sharing this deeply personal process gained praise — but also seems to have blurred the line between support and intrusion in the eyes of the public.

Public Reaction: Between Concern and Curiosity

Reactions to the rumor were mixed. While some fans found the speculation humorous or harmless, others called out the lack of respect.

“This is why we need to talk more about body respect and trans awareness,” one comment read.
“Not everything has to become a meme. Ice deserves better,” said another.

Bigger Than a Rumor: A Moment of Reflection

What began as a viral curiosity has morphed into a timely reminder of how quickly online platforms can invade personal boundaries. Ice Seguerra’s experience shows how even well-meaning curiosity can cross the line — and how important it is to approach such moments with compassion and context.

At the heart of it all, Ice continues to stand strong. Whether facing online noise or pursuing his personal journey with Liza, his authenticity remains unshaken.

Pregnant or not — and to be clear, he’s definitely not — Ice Seguerra is still delivering something more important: truth, courage, and a whole lot of heart.
