Nova Villa Finally Sets the Record Straight. Veteran comedienne Nova Villa has once and for all put to rest the long-standing rumor linking her to the late Fernando Poe Jr.
In a recent interview, the beloved actress politely dismissed the old issue, saying, “That’s not true. Let’s leave him in peace.” She then proceeded to share a little-known fact about her early career: her first-ever movie, “Daigdig ng Fantasia,” paired her with the iconic FPJ.
At just 17, Nova was a budding showbiz hopeful when a neighbor introduced her to the world of film. With no prior experience, she boldly faced the production manager and asked, “Aren’t you subjecting me first to a screen test?” To everyone’s surprise, her first day on set was a breeze, with all her scenes captured in just one take. From there, her star began to rise, and film offers poured in.
Beyond the limelight, Villa revealed a heartwarming side to her life. Despite her busy schedule, she has been a dedicated caregiver to her bedridden husband. The couple also has a daughter now residing in the US, and Nova proudly shared the joy of being a grandmother to four. “I already have four grandkids.”
Villa’s candidness and genuine personality have endeared her to audiences for decades. Her ability to balance a thriving career with her personal life serves as an inspiration to many. As she continues to entertain and uplift others, Nova Villa’s legacy as a talented actress and compassionate individual remains steadfast.
