Actress Aiko Melendez fires back at bashers criticizing her new romance with Persian boyfriend Shahin Alimirzapour.

In a latest Instagram post, the 40-year-old actress gave her two cents on people who keep on questioning her relationship with Alimirzapour.

Melendez said that instead of dwelling on all the negativity, she’d rather live a good life.

“Some people can be so mean. But instead of saying things that I don’t mean, I will pray for them as their hearts are full of bitterness and hate.”

“I hate to assume but can they be not happy with their lives to be so mean? I don’t want to fight back either. Sweetest revenge is to live a good life. God bless everyone.”

The actress ended her post with the words “stop judging too.”

Melendez and Alimirzapour have a 12-year age gap between them but the former said they are both happy and have the support of their friends and family, including her son Andrei Yllana.

To recall, the actress admitted in a recent television guest appearance that Andrei, her son with ex-husband Jomari Yllana, ignored her for more than a week when she announced on Instagram her budding romance with Alimirzapour.

She thought that her kids already warmed up to the idea of her new romance because she’s been very vocal about it to them. But she said her son needed time to adjust.

“Nagtampo siya sa akin. Lately lang ito, ito yung parang major na tampo niya sa akin kasi normally, ‘pag mayroon kaming hindi pinagkakasunduan, mga three days. Ito, inabot kami ng one week and three days. Hindi niya ako kinakausap, tapos cold treatment.”

Melendez said they were able to discuss it and she explained to Andrei the situation and the latter understands and supports her decisions.

She added that she’s slowly trying to introduce her son to Alimirzapour and based from the photos she posted on social media, things are looking positive. (MNS)
