Rumors, speculations, and wild theories are once again circulating in the world of Philippine showbiz, and at the center of it all? None other than actress-vlogger Ivana Alawi and former congressman-turned-heartthrob Dan Fernandez.

The online gossip mills exploded after netizens noticed a suspicious similarity between the two celebrities’ homes—specifically, their walk-in closets. Eagle-eyed fans pointed out that both closets share identical designs, colors, and curtains. Coincidence? Or is there something more going on behind closed doors?

But wait… the plot thickens!

Some even went as far as spreading rumors that Ivana and Dan already have a child together—a claim that neither party has confirmed nor denied. Their silence only fuels the public’s curiosity, with fans and “Marites” (gossip enthusiasts) alike desperate to uncover the truth.

However, digging up the past reveals a very interesting detail. In a resurfaced interview on ABS-CBN’s “Tonight With Boy Abunda,” the King of Talk himself, Tito Boy Abunda, confronted Ivana with the burning question:
“Is it true Dan Fernandez is courting you?”

Ivana’s response? Quick. Sharp. Unapologetic.
“No. We’re friends,” she stated, shutting down the dating rumors—at least on the surface.

But the real shock came when Tito Boy pressed further, asking why she wouldn’t date Dan.

Without hesitation, Ivana fired back:
“Because he’s a womanizer. I don’t like womanizers. I don’t want that. I want someone who will truly love me.”

Ouch! Shots fired!

The revelation left fans stunned. Could this be why Ivana is keeping her distance from the former congressman despite the swirling rumors? Or… is there more to the story that she’s not telling us?

Adding fuel to the fire, Ivana once took a lie detector challenge with her sister Mona, where she was asked bluntly:
“Have you ever destroyed someone’s family?”

Ivana’s answer? A firm “No.”
And the lie detector? It confirmed she was telling the truth.

“I wasn’t raised to destroy families,” Ivana explained passionately.
“We ourselves come from a broken family. Why would I ruin someone else’s? You’d have to be crazy to do that.”

Despite her fame and glamorous image, Ivana emphasized that she keeps many aspects of her life private.
“I don’t really show everything. I keep some stuff private,” she admitted.

So, the big question remains: Are Ivana and Dan just friends, secret lovers, or victims of relentless showbiz gossip?

Only time will tell… but one thing’s for sure — the Marites won’t be backing down anytime soon.
