She expressed her heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support from her family, especially her parents, throughout her journey of self-acceptance. &quot;Yung kinekwento ko sa inyo na may 4 years akong partner. Yes I have a partner for four years. Her name is Trina. And hindi ko in-expect na masasabi ko ngayon ito. Wala lang, ang lakas lang ng loob ko para sabihin,&quot; she shared. She also shared that her late father was aware of her identity before he passed, and her mother has been very supportive. Trina, her long-time partner, is currently with her mother while she’s inside the PBB House. &quot;Ang kasama ng Mama ko ngayon is her [Trina]. And I guess, komportable na akong sabihin sa inyong lahat with Michelle Dee pa. And hindi ko mahintay na ma-meet niyo siya. And I miss her. Sobrang swerte ko lang talaga kasi tanggap ako ng parents ko.&quot; she added. <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/2/exclusive-ac-bonifacio-on-pbb-experience-it-really-humbled-me-1643">EXCLUSIVE: AC Bonifacio on PBB experience: &#x27;It really humbled me!&#x27;</a></div>De Guzman noted that even though some relatives knew her identity, she hadn’t openly discussed it in her professional life as a singer until now. But she feels ready to embrace her truth in the eyes of the public. &quot;Bilang celebrity nga hindi ko pa nasasabi sa work ko. I am proud! Love wins,&quot; she expressed. Her coming out was met with an emotional and outpouring of support from her fellow housemates. - Mon Rodelas, ABS-CBN News
