Jose Manalo CONFIRMS What Everyone Feared About Vico Sotto and Atasha Muhlach’s Secret Relationship!
Date Published: May 20, 2025
Manila, Philippines – In a stunning twist that sent shockwaves across social media, beloved comedian Jose Manalo has finally confirmed what fans and insiders alike had long suspected — a secret relationship between Vico Sotto, the reserved mayor of Pasig, and Atasha Muhlach, daughter of Philippine showbiz royalty.
After months of whispers, hints, and blurry photos that fueled speculation, the truth is finally out: Vico and Atasha have been quietly dating — and it’s been going on longer than anyone imagined.
Jose Manalo Breaks the Silence
In an exclusive interview with Celeb Real Talk, Jose Manalo, who is known to be close with both the Sotto and Muhlach families, dropped the bombshell:
“I can’t hide it anymore. I might get blamed someday if I keep quiet. Yes, there is definitely something going on between Vico and Atasha.”
With that one line, Jose confirmed what netizens had been piecing together from clues for months. For the public, it was both shocking and, in some circles, deeply concerning.

According to a source close to the couple, their story started at a charity event in late 2023. Atasha was invited to perform at a benefit concert for underprivileged children — an event hosted by the Pasig City government. Mayor Vico, known for his hands-on leadership, personally attended and thanked the performers.
“That was the first time they spoke,” the source said. “They started texting, just casual chats… but things progressed quickly.”
Why Everyone Was Worried
While many fans swooned over the idea of a Sotto-Muhlach union, others expressed concerns over how this romance might affect Vico Sotto’s political image. Known for being highly professional, transparent, and unattached, Vico has built a public persona centered on independence and reform.
Some analysts fear that any romantic involvement with a high-profile celebrity like Atasha could be used against him, especially if he aims for higher office.
From Atasha’s side, being involved with a politician could also shift how she is perceived — from rising artist to political partner. In the world of Filipino entertainment and politics, such labels carry weight.
The Couple’s Silent Confirmation?
Despite Jose Manalo’s unexpected confession, neither Vico nor Atasha has made an official statement. Still, their actions seem to speak volumes.
Sharp-eyed fans have noticed Atasha attending several Pasig City events in recent months. Vico, on the other hand, was reportedly seen dining with Atasha at an upscale Italian restaurant in BGC, away from the media spotlight.
Internet Reacts: Fans Are Divided
Social media lit up with reactions after the interview aired. On X (formerly Twitter), hashtags like #VicoAtasha and #SottoMuhlachLoveTeam trended for hours.
Some fans were thrilled:
“Power couple in the making! They’re both smart, low-key, and classy. Love it!”
Others were more cautious:
“I hope this doesn’t distract Vico from his political duties. But hey — even heroes deserve love.”
What’s Next for Vico and Atasha?
Now that the secret is out, the big question remains: Will they finally go public with their relationship, or continue keeping things under wraps?
With both of them coming from highly respected families — and constantly under public scrutiny — the decision won’t be easy. But if one thing’s clear, it’s that this unexpected pairing has the whole country talking.
