Who Is Franchesko Juan Capistrano? 7 Things to Know Andrea Brillantes’ Non-Showbiz Boyfriend

Let’s face it: we are all curious about celebrity relationships, especially when one half of the couple is not part of showbiz.

That is exactly the case with Andrea Brillantes, who recently made headlines after turning heads this Halloween season with a series of jaw-dropping transformations. Among her looks that caught everyone’s attention was her daring nude illusion ensemble, which quickly made rounds online.

However, aside from her Halloween looks, another detail from her recent social media posts caught the public’s attention: her non-showbiz boyfriend, Franchesko Juan Capistrano.

Franchesko also piqued the curiosity of netizens after appearing in the teaser of Dra. Vicki Belo and Dr. Hayden Kho’s vlog. In the video, Andrea brought Franchesko to the Belo-Kho residence to formally introduce him to the couple, where he was also set to share a few details about himself and their relationship.

With the public growing curious about the man who has captured Andrea’s heart, here are some things you should know about Franchesko Juan Capistrano, the actress’s non-showbiz boyfriend.

Affectionately known as “Pankie” among his family and friends, Franchesko Juan Capistrano is one year younger than his girlfriend, Andrea Brillantes. He is set to celebrate his 22nd birthday on December 10, 2026.

Meanwhile, Andrea is already 23 years old, having been born on March 12, 2003.

Franchesko is also active on Instagram, where his account, @francheskojuan, first caught the attention of netizens following the public reveal of his relationship with the actress.

During a snippet from Dra. Vicky Belo’s vlog, Franchesko Juan Capistrano shared that he currently resides in Bonifacio Global City. However, he revealed that he actually grew up in the province of Lucban, Quezon, where his family continues to reside. He has three siblings.

According to his mother’s Facebook account, Franchesko Juan Capistrano’s family owns Batis Aramin Resort & Hotel Corp., a resort located in Lucban, Quezon.

His mother, Gertrude Kristine Valde, also serves as the resort’s general manager.

Based on his Instagram account, Franchesko Juan Capistrano appears to have a long-standing passion for basketball.

His photos and videos show that he has been playing the sport since childhood, continuing throughout his high school and college years.

While Franchesko previously studied at Jose Rizal University, where he also played basketball in 2023, his recent Instagram posts suggest that he is now playing for Enderun Colleges.

Established in 2005, Enderun Colleges offers undergraduate programs in various fields, including business, hospitality, entrepreneurship, economics, architecture, interior design, and multimedia arts.

One thing that stands out about Franchesko is his love for traveling, a hobby he occasionally gets to enjoy with his girlfriend, Andrea Brillantes. Among the destinations he has visited is Rome, Italy.

The couple also frequently enjoys beach getaways together, sharing sweet moments from their trips on social media.

Back in January, Andrea Brillantes shared a series of photos on her Instagram account, one of which showed her embracing a man as they celebrated the holiday season together.

At the time, the identity of the man had yet to be revealed, prompting netizens and the media to refer to him as Andrea’s “mystery guy.” A few days later, however, his identity was finally uncovered as Franchesko Juan Capistrano, sparking increased public interest.
