Ruffa Gutierrez Opens Up About New Boyfriend Jordan Mouyal

Ruffa Gutierrez has finally opened up about her current boyfriend, who recently became the subject of speculation after the actress and her mother, talent manager Annabelle Rama, had a publicized spat last month.

In a live interview on "Aquino & Abunda Tonight" on Monday, Gutierrez confirmed that her recent feud with Rama, which they have since resolved, was over the latter's disapproval of French-Israeli businessman Jordan Mouyal as her boyfriend.

Despite Rama's objection to their relationship, Gutierrez continues to see Mouyal and said her mother has no choice but to accept him. She clarified, however, that she is now on good terms with Rama.

Gutierrez said she appreciates Mouyal standing by her despite challenges they have encountered so far as a couple, and the intrigues that come with being involved with a celebrity.

Gutierrez was formerly married to Turkish businessman Ylmaz Bektas, with whom she has two children -- Lorin, 11, and Venice, 10. Their marriage was annulled in February 2012.

According to the actress, she made it a point to inform Lorin and Venice of her relationship with the businessman early on, before local media could clue them in about it.
