In a Facebook post, Chad shared a screenshot of TikTok posts featuring the AI-generated images. The fabricated photos were accompanied by captions about the women’s ages, current activities, and interests.
“Have some self-respect pleaseeee,” he wrote.
While creating or editing AI-generated photos featuring celebrities or public figures may be intended by some as a form of admiration or entertainment, these images also appeared to target the courtside reporter because of the age gap between her and the basketball player.
The Colegio de San Juan de Letran athlete is 18 years old, resulting in a 15-year age gap between the two.
The post drew mixed reactions, with some netizens urging others to respect their relationship, while others continued to criticize the couple’s age gap.
“Wala namang problema kung talagang nag mamahalan sila ah ika nga age doesn’t matter kung mahal nila ang isa’t isa edi hayaan nyo sila,” one social media user wrote.
Another commented: “A 33 and 18 relationship will always look off because it is off. The goal should be to protect people, not to defend relationships that start with such a big power difference. Let 18-year-olds date people their own age and grow without pressure.”
In June 2026, Apple hard-launched her relationship with Chad on social media.
