SHOCKER AT RICKY DAVAO’S WAKE: Third Secret Lover Drops Bombshell Confession in Front of Family, Leaves Mourners Gasping with Scandalous Revelation!

Ricky Davao's partner recalls his last moments: You fought fiercely

The wake of veteran actor Ricky Davao—supposed to be a solemn gathering of friends, family, and fans—turned into a jaw-dropping telenovela in real life when a mysterious woman stepped forward and made a shocking revelation that stunned everyone present.

At exactly 8:47 PM last night, in the dimly lit funeral chapel in Quezon City, as soft music played and the crowd prayed silently around the casket of the late actor, an elegant woman dressed in black broke the silence. With trembling hands and eyes filled with emotion, she walked to the front of the chapel, turned toward the mourners, and dropped a bombshell:

“I was the third woman who truly loved Ricky… and I bore him a child!”

Gasps, murmurs, and stunned expressions rippled through the room like an electric wave. Several relatives were seen whispering furiously, some shaking their heads in disbelief. Others clutched rosaries or reached for their phones, capturing the moment as the scene unfolded like a scene straight out of a primetime soap.

A Love Kept in the Shadows

The woman, later identified as Lorena “Lenlen” Cruz, a former theater actress in her late 40s, claimed she had been in a secret relationship with Ricky Davao for over 12 years. According to her, their romance began while working on a stage play in 2011 and remained hidden due to Ricky’s high-profile relationships.

“We respected his public image and his family,” Lorena said tearfully, her voice cracking with emotion. “But our love was real. I stayed in the background, willingly, because that’s what he needed. Now that he’s gone, I just want the world to know who he truly was to me—and who I was to him.”

She then shocked the audience even further by stating, “We have a son. He’s 10 years old. Ricky was planning to introduce him soon. But fate didn’t allow it.”

Reactions from the Davao Family

The revelation left Ricky’s family reeling. His two known partners—former beauty queen and actress Jackie Lou Blanco and longtime rumored partner Angela Cortez—were both present. Jackie Lou, seated near the front, was seen wiping tears from her eyes but remained composed. Angela, however, was visibly shaken and reportedly walked out midway through Lorena’s confession.

Ricky’s eldest daughter, who asked not to be named, told reporters outside the chapel, “We don’t know who this woman is. We’re shocked. My father never mentioned her. This is extremely painful and confusing.”

Another close family member reportedly tried to approach Lorena after her speech but was stopped by chapel staff, who tried to maintain order.

Netizens Go Wild

As news of the dramatic revelation spread, social media exploded. Hashtags like #RickyDavaoThirdLover, #LenlensConfession, and #WakeBombshell began trending on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok.

“This is straight out of a teleserye. I can’t believe this happened AT THE WAKE!” one netizen posted.

Others defended Lorena, calling her “brave” and “honest” for coming forward, especially if a child is involved.

“People grieve in different ways. Maybe she just wanted to be acknowledged,” said another comment that received over 15,000 likes.

Who Is Lorena Cruz?

Digging into her background, Lorena Cruz was once a rising star in the local theater scene. She faded from the limelight around 2015, reportedly due to health issues. Friends describe her as “deeply emotional, private, and devoted to her craft.”

“She was talented, beautiful, but quiet,” said a fellow theater actor who asked to remain anonymous. “I had no idea she and Ricky were involved. But if it’s true, I believe her. She wouldn’t lie like this, not at his wake.”

Legal Implications?

Now that a child has been mentioned, questions arise about inheritance, legitimacy, and whether the Davao estate could face legal claims in the coming months.

A source close to Ricky’s legal team confirmed that no known third child was mentioned in the actor’s current will, which was last updated in 2022. However, under Philippine law, if paternity can be proven, the child may have the right to claim a portion of the estate.

As the funeral continues, tension is expected to build.

What Happens Next?

Lorena Cruz told reporters after her emotional speech that she has “no intention of creating chaos,” only to be recognized and for her son’s truth to be known.

“I loved him. That was never a secret between us. I just wish he were here to speak for himself,” she said, holding a single red rose.

With memorial services still ongoing and Ricky Davao’s burial scheduled for this coming weekend, many are now waiting to see if more surprises will surface—perhaps even a DNA test.

In the world of showbiz, secrets don’t stay buried for long. But no one expected this kind of twist—not at Ricky Davao’s wake.

One thing is for sure: the curtain has not yet fallen on this dramatic final chapter. Stay tuned.
