One of today’s hottest stars and current cover of MEGA Man magazine James Reid finally spoke up about the alleged involvement of his sister Lauren Reid in the shocking split of musician Gab Valenciano from his wife, fashion personality Tricia Centenera.

“I have heard about that. All I have to say about that is that it’s not true. That’s what I have to say,”declared James quietly but emphatically at last night’s launch of Manulife Philippines’ ‘Start Your Story’ campaign which he headlines.

The topic of caring for one’s self and one’s family came to the fore as James, who is the newest ambassador of Manulife Philippines, discussed how he is making sure he makes sound investments for himself and his siblings.

“They know naman that all I am doing — this is all for the family. They know why I am doing this is for them. Parang they want to return the favor.”

Lately, his siblings Lauren and Jack Reid have been in the headlines as both have decided to follow James’ lead and get into showbiz full-time. Jack is the current face of Folded & Hung’s Disney collection campaign and according to James is undergoing workshops to further improve his skills.

As for Lauren, the newly-minted It Girl has been making waves since she debuted on the cover of Inside Showbiz Weekly and garnered fashion features after that. James shared, “I am very proud of Lauren and Jack. Lauren is doing very well. Marami saying magazine covers. She’s doing very well.”

James also opened up about his advice to the two showbiz newbies. “I tell them, really, just be yourself.

Don’t mind the bashers. As long as you’re doing the right thing, it doesn’t matter what they say.”Now that Lauren’s name has figured as one of the alleged reasons for the controversial breakup of Gab and Tricia, James quickly but calmly flew to the defense of his sister. “She was the one who told me. She was like, ‘Do you know this? This is out. Blah blah blah. And it’s not true.’”

James went on to relate, “No, she’s not affected.” When asked about Gab and Lauren’s involvement with each other, James declared, “They’ve met, but that’s it.” He even confessed when asked about how his sister was taking all the negative press, “Nakalimutan na niya.” With that, James being the one in showbiz longer and no doubt more familiar with its goings-on did the sensible thing — he cleared his sister’s name and put the issue to rest.
