It's not true that actress-TV host Nanette Medved has broken up with her husband, Chris Po. We heard this rumor that Nanette and Chris allegedly broke up and it was alleged that there was a third party involved, a Chinese girl who was supposedly separated from her husband.
When Chris heard that the item was written about, he was taken aback. Chris and Nanette are based in Hong Kong, and according to Nanette in a call with talent manager Jojo Gabineta, it's not true that she and her husband had separated. Nanette also told Jojo that it's also not true that she's not getting along well with her in laws. Her relationship with her mother-in-law is just fine.
Nanette is wondering how and why such rumor surfaced. But according to our source, it reportedly started within the Chinese circle, not from showbiz. But when we wrote it in another column, we said it has yet to be confirmed since it started as a rumor. But Nanette's husband was adamant in his denial. So we stand corrected that Nanette and her husband broke up even if we did say that it was just a rumor and has yet to be confirmed.
