Olympic gold medallist Carlos Yulo has reportedly split with his mother because she disapproves of his Australian-raised girlfriend. The 24-year-old gymnast made history for the Philippines by winning the floor exercise before taking another gold medal in the vault.
Upon his return, Yulo will be given a luxury three-bedroom flat as well as a cash prize of £740,000 and a lifetime supply of ramen noodles. However, it seems he will not be sharing any of it with his mother after accusing her of rejecting his girlfriend and stealing his money.
Yulo is dating Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose, a model who was born in the Philippines but now conforms to an ‘Australian way of life’. In a video posted on TikTok, he claimed that his mother ‘freaked out’ over their relationship and harshly judged Chloe before they had even met.
“My mother judged Chloe right away because of how she dressed and acted,” said Yulo. “Chloe and I grew up in different environments. Chloe grew up in Australia and that’s the culture she knows. It’s very different from how we move, talk, and dress in the Philippines.
“Chloe has her own income. Everything you see her using and all her travels come from her hard work. Ever since the beginning, she didn’t like Chloe, even though she hadn’t met or seen her in person. Our relationship worsened when I started setting boundaries. I stood up for Chloe because I like her.”
