Franki Russel clarifies Bohol photos with Enrique Gil; denies being 3rd party of Alexa Miro, Sandro Marcos

MANILA, Philippines — Franki Russel clarified the then-viral photos with Enrique Gil in Bohol.

In a report by ABS-CBN, Franki said that she once had a "talking stage" with Enrique.

“That was a group trip actually. I had my friend there and he had friends. There was a point in time we were getting together I guess. But we realized we are better off as friends,” she revealed.

“It is so hard to date in Manila and in the showbiz industry! I am not looking for anyone at the moment,” she added.

Franki also denied that she was the third party in the relationship between Alexa Miro and Sandro Marcos.

“That never happened. It is not true. I met him before but in circles. We have mutual friends. But the reason she broke up was ridiculous. I have not seem the guy in years. Nothing more than friends,” she said.

“What she said was completely untrue. What she spoke of was an encounter that happened three years ago. But she failed to mention the timeline, which I thought was a super slap in the face. You say you came out if a relationship of five years but the scenario I saw you was in 2023? How does that even make sense,” she added.

Franki said she was shocked and disappointed by the allegation.

“I think his ex was on a live stream — sounded lasing maybe. Saying things. I was shocked and I felt sad — you were not a girl’s girl. You encouraged tearing down another woman when the facts were not right. I do not know her apart from that situation,” she said.
