AGA Muhlach and Janice de Belen?s love child, Igiboy Muhlach, will soon be a dad. He married his longtime girlfriend Patricia Petil in civil rites last Oct 24. What was his parents? initial reaction? ?Natawa lang sila,? says Igi ?Ginawa ko daw silang lolo at lola at an early age.?

I suddenly feel so old. Igi used to attend my kids? birthday parties.

What advice did his parents give him? ?That I should change my ways,? Igi quips. ?And that I should learn from my mistakes and, put God in the center of our marriage so it will work ? and that Patty and I should strive to be good parents.?

Any names they have in mind for the baby? ?Alejandro Miguel for a boy?my second name and Patty?s lolo?s name is Miguel. Adriana Dominique for a girl, from Patty?s second name Monique.?

Will they allow their baby to join show biz? ?He/she has to finish school first.?

What are the adjustments they are going through as newlyweds? ?We don?t go out and I can?t drink that much anymore. We often stay home, order pizza and watch DVDs. We let our maid go, so we will learn to manage by ourselves. I cook, Patty washes the dishes. I do the laundry, she cleans the house. I clean up our dog, Spartan. But ? happy naman kami.?

Tough acts to follow

Being the son of Bong Revilla and grandson of Ramon Revilla are Jolo Revilla?s best credentials. But he?s coming into his own. ?I hope to achieve what they both have achieved,? he says. ?But they are tough acts to follow. I?d like to be known on my own merits.?

Jolo top-bills ?Pepeng Agimat? (6:45 p.m., Saturdays on ABS-CBN 2), originally portrayed by his lolo.

Do the Revillas really have an agimat when it comes to women? ?Friendly lang kami sa girls,? Jolo says. ?Di naman kami babaero. I?ll try my best na ?wag dumami ang anak ko.? I?ll break the Revilla tradition [in that way]. He laughs, ?Tama na si Gabs, who?s now 4 years old. He stays with me, but Grace can visit or take him to her place any time.?

How are things between him and Grace?s mom, Rosanna Roces, who has said quite a mouthful about the Revillas? ?Okay naman kami. Nag-usap na rin kami ni Grace na pag tungkol sa anak namin, kaming dalawa na lang ang mag-uusap, para di magulo. What about Lovi Poe? ?Split na talaga kami.?

Jolo requested me not to reveal the reason for their breakup. However, I wrote an item about Lovi in a previous column which might give a clue.

Is his new leading lady, Melissa Ricks, next in line to occupy his heart? ?Maybe,? he says with a wink. ?Masarap siya kumagat sa eksena namin (laughs).?

Surely, he?s got that irresistible Revilla charm, this Jolo good fellow!

Giveaway trivia

My son IC Mendoza has a guest appearance as Babaeng Linta?s sidekick in ?Darna.? He told me that Marian Rivera?s folding chair has a Darna design with matching wings at the back. He asked her where she bought the unique chair; Marian told him that it?s a gift from Dingdong Dantes. Isn?t that confirmation enough that Dong and Marian are flying high on the wings of love?

Just chilling?

Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa were spotted with Angel Jacob and some friends at Reserve bar. Was it just a spur of the moment chill-out night after their taping of ?Dahil May Isang Ikaw,? or are the ex-lovers finding their way back to love? Apres tout, the road in our hearts that takes us apart is the same road that leads us back.
