Early life

Robert Tamayo Villar, Jr. was born on March 21, 1998, in Cebu City but raised in Metro Manila. He is the son of Robert Villar, Sr.[2] As of April 2016, Villar is in a relationship with Angillyn Serrano Gorens, an American. Villar stated in July 2017 that he and Gorens, with both their parents' approval, had been living together.[3] Villar began dating Gorens in 2015, but it was not until February 2016 that their relationship became official. On September 1, 2017, Gorens gave birth to the couple's child, a girl.[4] Villar has also revealed his intention to marry Gorens in the United States in that same year. But as of 2018 they are separated but not divorced.[5]

Career

His first television appearance was when he auditioned in ABS-CBN's Little Big Star. He is also a member of the youngest boy band in the Philippines, the Mak and the Dudes. Villar's breakthrough performance was in Dyesebel in 2008. He has appeared in high-profile films such as Supahpapalicious, Shake, Rattle & Roll X, Ang Panday, and Philippine dramas such as Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan, Darna, and Panday Kids. Villar became one of the new hosts of the reformatted Eat Bulaga! after a huge resignation of the original cast due to an alleged internal conflict with TAPE Inc.
