If not to basketball players, actresses are usually linked to politicians. Name some?

Now-Sen. Migz Zubiri and Vina Morales. Migz is happily married to Audrey Tan (with whom he has a months-old child) and Vina to a businessman (father of the baby she's heavy with).

Beth Tamayo is married to a town mayor while Alicia Meyer is giving birth anytime now to her and a politician's love child.

Of course, there's Sharon Cuneta whose marriage to Sen. Kiko Pangilinan is currently a fodder for the gossip mill, and Cristina "Kring-Kring" Gonzalez who's married to Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez.

Pauleen Luna and Valenzuela City Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian have already broken up; while Quezon City Councilor Aiko Melendez and Bulacan (Bulacan) Vice Mayor Patrick Meneses are, according to Aiko, "happy" in each other's company.

And now, Maui Taylor and Quezon City Councilor Ariel Inton whose constant togetherness is being (mis?)taken by many people to mean something else. Since last month when Ariel invited Maui to grace a charity event as part of his birthday celebration, she has been helping him distribute books in Q.C. schools and rice among the city's poor residents.

"Nothing personal," Maui told the Funfare DPA. "I simply enjoy helping him in his charity projects."

"No problem, though," added the DPA. "Maui is free and so is Ariel."
