Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup Grilled on TNT; Venus Regrets Relationship with Andrei Felix?

Broadcast journalist Anthony “Tunying” grills beauty queens Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup as he asks them daring questions about their controversial relationships this Thursday (July 25) in “Tapatan ni Tunying.”

Venus and Shamcey have certainly brought back the Philippine’s glory in the most prestigious global beauty pageant, Miss Universe. However, while both of them have become iconic beauties, their respective love life turned totally different.

Miss Universe 2011 third runner up, Shamcey, is now engaged to her two-year Filipino-Chinese boyfriend, Lloyd Lee. “I’ve waited for the right time. I’m only going to a relationship when I’m ready to settle,” said Shamcey.

The couple was even more delighted after Lloyd’s conservative family easily accepted Shamcey, despite her being non-Chinese.

Venus, meanwhile, took a 180-degree turn when Miss Universe 2010 fourth runner up ended her one-year romance with TV host, Andrei Felix last May. Speculations surfaced that they broke up because Venus’ family was against her relationship with Andrei.

“We came to the point where my siblings and I were fighting. They were asking me to choose between him and them. When I chose him, my siblings and I cut our communication for few months. I missed my family,” Venus confirmed.

In the episode, Shamcey also takes the viewers to her wedding preparations, while Venus opens the doors of her never-before seen condominium unit and her newly built house in Bicol. Venus will also answer rumors about her career, particularly why she is no longer part of “Umagang Kay Ganda” and “ASAP.”

Watch “Tapatan ni Tunying” (TNT) this Thursday (July 25), 4:15 PM on ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya Gold. For updates, follow @TNTunying or like www.facebook.com/TNTunying.

Venus Raj, Andrei Felix Break up Confirmed

Miss Universe 2010 4th runner up Venus Raj has confirmed that she and Andrei Felix has parted ways and no longer in a relationship. Venus admitted the break up on Twitter.

"Yes it's true," Raj confirmed in her official Twitter account.

Venus also said that the break up happened last week of April. The beauty queen-turned-host also clarified that she did not announce the separation on Kris TV's May 9 episode, even off-cam, where she was a guest along with mentor Jonas Gaffud.

Netizens, upon learning the news about the Venus-Andrei break up took to social networks cracking on jokes that Andrei might be a victim of the "Janine Tugonon" thing. Venus, however, stressed that she didn't take a cue from fellow beauty queen Janine Tugonon, who also recently broke up with boyfriend Jaypee Santos, the root of the "na-Janine Tugonon" term.

According to Andrei Felix as quoted in a DZMM report, it was Venus who initiated the break up over the phone. The guy reportedly believed that they can still fix the problem.

Although Andrei and Venus have already confirmed and talked about the break up, the former couple of one year were mum on the real reason why they headed to splitsville. There are speculations that Venus' family is against her relationship with Andrei. The beauty queen's mother, Esther Bayonito in an interview, however said that she is supportive of her daughter's relationship with Andrei. 

The special relationship between Venus and Andrei was developed while working together on the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. Their morning show stint did not last as they were booted out from the show. Rumor has it that the two were removed from the show because of too much public display of affection (PDA).
