MAHIGIT limang taon din ang itinakbo ng usapin kung sino ba talaga ang tunay na ama ni Ellie, ang anak ni Andi Eigenmann.

​Ang half-sister ni Andi na si Max Eigenmann na rin ang nagkumpirma nito sa podcast ni Mo Twister na Good Times With Mo Twister last September 22.

​Sa guesting ni Max, naitanong ng controversial DJ kung ano ang reaksiyon niya sa tila hindi magkasundong relasyon nina Andi at Jake Ejercito, ang anak ni Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada.

Mag-asawang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, pinagtapos naman ang 9 na anak!

​Sambit ni Max, “It doesn’t bother me, whatever. They’re always like that.”

Binanggit din ni Mo na gusto raw niya sana sina Andi at Jake bilang couple. Rebelasyon ni Max, “Yeah, me too. And you know that he’s the father of my niece, right?”

Malaman ang naging pahayag ni Max pero winika ni Mo na alam naman daw niyang non-biological father si Jake ni Ellie.

Pero diin ni Max, “No, no. Yes, he is the biological father. They did a test. Yeah, he’s the dad. He’s the dad.

They’re co-parenting. That’s why he (Jake) always posts photos of my niece.”

Dahil sa interview na ito ni Max, nabuksan ang katotohanang mag-ama sa totoong buhay sina Ellie at Jake. At hindi talaga si Albie Casiño ang ama ng anak ni Andi.

Nagpahayag na ang kampo ni Albie na relieved o nabunutan na siya ng tinik sa dibdib nang lumabas na balita, pero ang mommy lang ni Albie na si Mrs. Anna Kathrina ‘Rina’ Casiño ang nagsasalita tungkol sa pumutok na isyu.

Isang linggo pagkaraang sumabog ang balita at pananahimik na rin ni Andi, isang official statement ang inilabas niya thru Viva Artists Agency (VAA). Sa isang bahagi ng statement, nakikiusap ang sexy actress na igalang ang privacy ng anak, “I made a conscious choice to not talk about the paternity of my daughter in order to protect the privacy of Ellie...”

Sa inilabas na statement, wala ring tuwirang binanggit sa identity ng tunay na ama ni Ellie. “Growing up, Ellie knew who her father was and he has been there for her, and that’s all that matters.I hope this will put the issue to rest, out of concern for my very young daughter. I’m requesting everyone to respect the privacy of Ellie.”

For a while, walang narinig sa kampo ni Jake. Pero nitong nakaraang Linggo, bandang 8 PM, nag-post siya ng photo na magkasama sila ni Ellie at nilakipan niya ito ng isang touching message para sa anak.

“There will have been a lot of things you’ve heard and read by now and I’m glad you’ve somehow stumbled upon this.

Cause this is one of the very few truths that matter.

“It may have taken me years to find out by myself, but I’ve been here for you even before your first precious breath -- nothing and no one has or will ever change that.”

“You’ve only brought good things to my life and I promise to do the same to you a hundredfold. Know that everything has been and will always be for you. And that I will hold your hand the whole way through.

“I can’t wait till you start asking me questions. Although words will certainly fail to express how much I love you, our love story is filled with fun, optimism, and immeasurable bliss. It’s a story of a million beautiful memories that no one can ever take away from us and I’d endlessly be proud to share it with you.

“As we always tell each other whenever we part ways or go to sleep, you will always be my princess and I, your first love.

“Stay real and stay bright, my love.”
