Mister International 2025 Kirk Bondad revealed he is officially back together with “Roja” actress Lou Yanong.
The confirmation comes after he shared a series of sweet photos from what appeared to be a date, where the two watched “Shrek the Musical” and enjoyed dinner at Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill.
“We did the pictures here at Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant. I did not expect it would get this amount of traction. I kind of forgot people care,” he recalled in an interview held during the World of Christmas Lighting at Newport World Resorts in Pasay City, Thursday.
“We have been seeing each other for quite some time now. And It was only [then] I was like — screw it, I will post something.”

Reflecting on their reunion, he quipped, “It is like a cold coffee you reheat — it is still bitter. But it is still strong. It still works.”
Bondad added they rekindled their relationship about four or five months ago.
“I don’t know how long we were together. We reconnected in church and we started seeing each other again,” he recalled. “We started from ground zero again because, of course, when you already have history, how would you start it. When is she your girlfriend, or when am I your boyfriend.”
The pageant winner described Yanong as a “beautiful support system.”
“I see myself privileged to have her in my life,” he enthused.
Yanong is part of star-studded cast of "Roja," led by Kyle Echarri and Donny Pangilinan.
