Wala naman nagbago sa damdamin ko. Mas minahal ko pa nga lalo ngayon dahil hinarap niya ang totoo sa buhay niya,&quot; Relucio told ABS-CBN News&#x27; MJ Felipe. She also revealed that she has already given Zyrus&#x27; new relationship with Shyre Aquino, a nutritionist and fitness instructor, her approval. Relucio was <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/10/07/17/silipin-ilang-eksena-sa-concert-ni-jake-zyrus#tabs-most">part of the crowd</a> that caught Zyrus&#x27; first major concert since coming out. In an interview afterward, also with Felipe, Zyrus said that his lola&#x27;s support and blessing for his girlfriend mean a lot to him. &quot;Para sa akin, kahit anong sabihin pa ng mga tao, kapag tanggap ng family mo, hindi mo na papansinin iyong iba. Kumpleto na.&quot;
