🔴 LIVE REPORT: Sen. Chiz Escudero Allegedly Furious Over Heart Evangelista’s Child with Richard Yap? Here’s the Truth Behind the Viral Rumor | May 30, 2025

May 30, 2025 

Social media is once again ablaze with explosive claims that Senator Chiz Escudero is allegedly furious upon discovering that his wife, fashion icon and actress Heart Evangelista, has a child with fellow actor Richard Yap. A viral livestream and several Facebook pages are now promoting this unverified story, sparking mass confusion and outrage online.

But what’s real, and what’s mere rumor? Here’s everything we know so far — based on verified facts, official statements, and reliable sources.

🚨 The Viral Livestream

Earlier this morning, a Facebook page posted a LIVE video titled:

“SEN. CHIZ ESCUDERO, GALIT NA MAY ANAK SI HEART KAY RICHARD YAP!”

The livestream showed no real footage of the senator or Heart Evangelista. Instead, it featured looped images, dramatic voice-overs, and spliced clips from unrelated interviews, leading viewers to believe something scandalous had happened.

💬 Official Response: No Truth to the Rumor

As of 2:30 PM today, there has been no confirmation from Heart Evangelista, Senator Chiz Escudero, or Richard Yap about any of the accusations circulating online. In fact:

Heart Evangelista is currently in Milan, Italy, attending fashion week and sharing updates on Instagram.
Richard Yap has not had any known recent public collaboration with Heart, aside from being co-ambassadors for a wellness brand in early 2023.
Senator Escudero was present at a Senate committee hearing this morning and has not issued any public statement regarding the viral claim.

🧾 A Look at the Timeline

To better understand why this rumor exploded, here’s a brief timeline:

2022–2023: Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero faced rumors of marital strain, which were later addressed. Heart confirmed they had gone through a “rough patch” but reconciled by early 2024.
Late 2024: Heart hinted in interviews about her desire to start a family, but no pregnancy was ever confirmed.
May 2025: No public appearance or photo has indicated Heart has had a child — let alone with anyone besides her husband.

🔎 The Richard Yap Connection

Richard Yap and Heart Evangelista have never been romantically linked. Their only known professional interaction was a joint campaign for a vitamin brand, and a brief appearance at a charity gala. There are no credible sources linking them beyond this.

❗Why the Rumor Is Dangerous

This is another example of misinformation designed to go viral on social media for clicks and engagement. These types of rumors:

Mislead fans and the public
Undermine the reputations of those involved
Exploit personal relationships and stir up baseless controversy

Social media users are urged to fact-check and avoid sharing unverified gossip.

💬 Netizens React

Despite the lack of evidence, the rumor has sparked strong reactions:

🗨️ “I don’t believe this unless Heart confirms it herself.”
🗨️ “Fake news na naman. Kawawa mga artista sa ganito.”
🗨️ “Sana tigilan na ‘yang mga clickbait livestream.”
