Dating rumors come and go in the entertainment industry. No matter how much we try to mind our own business, the Internet will always be fascinated by celebrity gossip—especially when potential love interests are involved.

Take, for instance, BINI Jhoanna's alleged romance with Skusta Clee. Fans and perhaps most of the Internet had shared their piece—some nonchalant, some disapproving—over the rumored relationship.

Despite the noise, neither party has spoken publicly about the issue. That said, Jhoanna recently found herself back in the middle of online discussion after reposting a message on X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week.

"What keeps my heart strong is knowing that God knows my heart. People can say whatever they want, they can make stories or judge without knowing the truth but at the end of the day, God sees everything and that’s enough for me. Kasi as long as my intentions are pure and my heart is right, I don't have to explain myself to anyone," her repost from October 2025 read.

Because of its timing, some interpreted the repost as a response to the rumors. However, without Jhoanna directly addressing the issue, any reading remains speculative.

The scrutiny continued days later. On December 31, 2025, Jhoanna shared another message that some online users also linked to the rumors, which had begun circulating weeks earlier.

"2026 — I choose my own happiness - without guilt, without explanation," her post read. Obviously, it's one of her New Year commitments, not for anyone else, but only for herself.

Fans have collectively supported her, especially since she has openly expressed that she is choosing her own happiness despite everything.

Even without mentioning any issue or naming anyone, some fans noted that Jho shouldn’t feel the need to explain what’s going on in her life.

"Whatever will make you happy, will support you all the way. Never mind the noise! No need to feel guilty and no need to explain. Period! Be happy Jho!" one comment read.

Some couldn't hide their frustration and asked, "Mahirap po ba sabihin na 'hindi totoo yung rumor.'" While another straight-up said, "Idol kita master and BINI pero bakit nman sa dinami-rami ng lalaking papatulan mo, eh si Skusta pa? 😭"

In late 2025, Jhoanna was first reported to have a collaboration with Skusta. However, as some eagle-eyed Internet users speculated, the two are now rumored to have been together during a Vietnam trip. According to PEP.ph's report, online users have been piecing together allegedly identical (and somewhat soft-launch) posts between the two.

Some fans, of course, remain supportive of Jho, defending her against what they see as unreasonable speculation. "Luhhh, di porket same destination sila, may something na?" one fan said.

BINI Jhoanna's take on love and relationships

Perhaps it's because of Jho's "idol" status—or showbiz in general—that dating and relationships can be tricky. Celebrities tend to be careful about who they date and how they date, as their personal lives are often exposed to public scrutiny.

In a 2023 podcast, Podcast Ng Mga Walang Jowa, BINI Jhoanna and BINI Aiah spoke candidly about their views on love and relationships. At the start of the episode, Jho shared, "Let's normalize this topic. Normal naman siya. Yes, idol tayo, pero tao rin naman tayo, nai-in love din naman tayo, nasasaktan din naman tayo."

Her statement came as the two pointed out how talking about love isn't always easy, especially given how the topic can still feel taboo for idols.

Later in the conversation, Jho spoke about a turning point in how she views relationships. "Paano ko malalaman kung mahal ko na yung isang tao… siguro kapag my friends and family are happy 'dun sa decision ko," she said.

She added, "Bukod dun sa love ko talaga siya, gusto ko agree din yung family and friends, kasi bukod sakin, sila din yung nakakakita ng kung what's best for me. And yung hindi ko kailangang baguhin yung sarili ko." Since entering showbiz as a BINI member, the 21-year-old idol has not publicly confirmed being in a relationship.

Separately, in 2022, content creator Zeinab Harake-Parks publicly confirmed that her relationship with rapper Skusta—whom she shares a daughter, Bia, with—had ended following allegations of infidelity. Skusta is also known for his hit tracks such as "Bumalik Ka Sa’kin" and "Kalimutan Ka," among others.
