Facts first: Jericho Rosales just made his dating relationship with Janine Gutierrez Instagram official. But what caught our eye is that his son, Santino Rosales, is all-out supportive!
In case you haven't spotted yet, Santino commented on his dad's latest IG Post. The pic was actually Echo's birthday greeting for his special someone, Janine. The seasoned actor wrote in the caption, "Happy birthday to my museum / tabing-ilog date." Echo's greeting came just a few hours before Janine's October 2 birthday ended.
The post garnered lots of positive and *kilig* comments from fans and even celebrities. And then there was Santino in the sea of commenters—he was actually one of the first ones to comment, too! Even though it was just a simple emoji, it was a clear expression of support from Santino for his dad. The 23-year-old football player left a heart emoji in his dad's post with Janine.
Echo and Janine (or shall we say EchoNine) have been the talk of the town since they were spotted on casual dates in the Metro. Just a few weeks ago, when Echo celebrated his 45th birthday, Janine posted their sweet date pics and made everyone go crazy. This time around, it was Echo's turn to return the sweetness. But it's not as if Echo hasn't been open about flirting with Janine via IG though ;)

Following Santino's comment was actually Janine's reply to Echo's birthday greeting. Her comment seems to scream in love, TBVH! "I'm so happy thank youuuuuu [insert three heart emojis]" Janine exclaimed in the comments section.
Other celebrities were elated with how Echo is all about Janine on his IG. Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, who's always been crushing on Echo left a bittersweet birthday greeting for Janine. "Happy Bday @janinegutierrez that broke my heart," Melai wrote in Echo's post. LOL, felt!


Janine Gutierrez on Jericho Rosales
It was just two months ago when Janine and Echo confirmed that they were exclusively going out. The two, who were first paired in their series, Lavender Fields, surprisingly took interest in each other when they started working together.
"It's been fun getting to know him and hanging out with him outside of work. So masaya naman," she happily told the press in an interview last August 2024.
Plus, Janine has been looking forward to their project together. "I am also super excited to be able to work with him. One of the things I said...when this project was first pitched to me, sabi ko, 'Hmmm sana si Jericho. Tapos kinwento ko rin yun kay Echo. When we first met, I said na 'I'm so happy it's you.' Siyempre lahat naman tayo hinahangaan natin siya as an artista," Janine recalled.
Happy birthday again, Janine! :)
