Yes, you heard us right. The heir to a multibillion dollar retail fortune wants to pursue Bea Alonzo even as the relationship entered a volatile phase after their wedding plans collapsed.
Co had admitted to his circle he remains deeply in love with the beautiful and successful actress and these feelings haven’t faded in the past few weeks, an insider close to the family shared.
Both personal and business associates said the wedding fallout has visibly affected Co.
During a recent event where the Co family was finalizing a major water deal with tycoon Manuel Villar Jr., bystanders noted Vincent was “not his usual self.”
The prenup agreements that came out in public that painted his family in a negative light were deeply hurtful and likely orchestrated by overzealous parties around Alonzo. But Co is overlooking these because of his feelings for her.
Another detail that reached us: Co had hired a prestigious artist to paint a massive portrait of Alonzo.
This was meant to be the centerpiece for the sprawling unit he purchased in the upscale Rockwell Makati district, where top condos can easily reach nine-figure sums.
The ball now appears to be in Alonzo’s court, with those around Co waiting to see if the actress makes a counteroffer of her own.
