Did Rabiya Mateo and Jake Cuenca just hard-launch their relationship on the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 stage?
During the recently concluded coronation night held at the Mall of Asia Arena, the pair presented Misamis Occidental as a provincial partner for Miss Universe Philippines 2026, which hosted events such as the swimsuit competition.
During their time on stage, Rabiya was clad in a shimmering, body-hugging red gown, while Jake donned a crisp white suit with a red flower brooch to match the beauty queen’s ensemble.
Earlier in April, Jake confirmed that he and Rabiya are “exclusively dating.”
The two first sparked dating rumors in March when they were spotted during a public outing in Taguig, followed by their attendance at the birthday party of Sienna Stevens.
Jake has also been openly admiring Rabiya on social media, leaving comments on Rabiya’s posts. On Instagram, he called the beauty queen “breathtaking” in a photo taken in Chiang Rai, Thailand.
Jake was previously in a relationship with actress Chie Filomeno. They called it quits in October 2025.
Meanwhile, Rabiya announced she was single in September 2025, confirming her breakup with Jeric Gonzales. —Hermes Joy Tunac/MGP, GMA News
