But Arnold Vegafria, the Kapamilya actress' talent manager, on Tuesday said there is no truth to the rumors that Denise is pregnant.
According to Arnold, Denise is laughing off the rumors. He said Denise, who just arrived home from a family trip to Vietnam, is far from being pregnant and she’s sexier than ever.
"'Yong pregnancy rumor about kay Denise, as of last week when we were together, I didn't see any changes sa katawan niya. Then, I asked her about it, sabi niya sa akin, 'No. Look at me, I'm still sexy. I know na may lumalabas na mga rumors that I'm pregnant.'" he said.
Arnold added, "Then, I asked her family. The family naman never said anything, kasi we were together sa family function nila. So, wala naman akong nakitang anything, and I asked them, wala."
The rumors, according to Arnold, started after Laurel’s character on teleserye “Kristine” suddenly disappeared.
Aside from the pregnancy issue, some speculated that the actress was taken out of the show because of attitude problems. But this was also disputed by her manager.
He disclosed that, based on the script, Laurel’s character would be taken out of the series. He did not reveal though if she will still come back or not.
"[Denise] is out of Kristine because it's part of the story of the teleserye. But I don't know kung kailan ang balik niya. May balik 'yan, e, hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang plano sa Kristine.
"But on Thursday or tonight, I'll try to get in touch with Lauren Dyogi kung ano ang plano nila sa show. One of my artists din kasi papasok sa Kristine." he clarified.
Arnold also admitted that what makes his ward uncomfortable is the fact that her role in the TV series is too sexy. "[We have] some complaints. Actually, it's not a complaint, it's just a little ano lang, sa role niya, because nagiging daring na daring yata ang role niya.
"Some of their themes, hindi niya magawa, uncomfortable pa siya." he said.
