Alan Benedict "Albie" Lee Casiño (born May 14, 1993) is a Filipino actor best known for his role as Christian in the television series Mara Clara (2010). He is also well known for his roles on On the Wings of Love (2015–2016), Pusong Ligaw (2017–2018), Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Los Bastardos (2018–2019), Linlang (2023), and Can't Buy Me Love (2023–2024).
Personal life
Casiño was involved in a controversy with ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann. Eigenmann was reportedly almost five months pregnant on June 29, 2011. She then revealed that the father of her child was her "first" boyfriend, with Albie being one of the suspected individuals.[1][2][3]
Meanwhile, Eigenmann's then present boyfriend, Jake Ejercito, already denied that he is the father while Albie's mother neither confirmed nor denied that Albie is the father of Andi's unborn child. However, in an interview of Eigenmann's father, Mark Gil, he hinted that the father of the child is Eigenmann's first and only boyfriend; he also said that Ejercito was not the father and he respected him for being there.[4] Eventually, after a 5-year dispute, in September 2016, it was finally confirmed by Eigenmanns's sister in a podcast, that Jake Ejercito, is the confirmed father, and that a paternity test was taken, without Casiño's knowledge.
In August 2015, Casiño revealed his battle with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD, citing it as a reason for his departure from ABS-CBN.[5]
Casiño entered the Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) house in the 2021 Celebrity edition of the reality show,[6][7] and has opened up about his struggles with ADHD[8] which resulted to his altercation with fellow housemate Alexa Ilacad.[9] The tension around his reclusive personality eventually lead to his eviction from the said show.[10]
Casiño subsequently was in a relationship with model and beauty pageant contestant Michelle Arceo from 2016 to 2019 and is currently in a relationship with Michelina since 2023.[11] On June 12, 2024, Casiño announced that Michelina had given birth to their son, Roman Andrew, back in April 28.[12] The couple were engaged in 2025.[13]
Bar altercation and assault
On May 4, 2012, Andi Eigenmann saw Casiño at a bar in Makati and reportedly threw wine on Casiño's face and slapped him. Casiño went to the restroom "to clean himself up" with the intention of leaving the bar after but he and a friend were purportedly followed and assaulted in the parking lot by Eigenmann's companions. The commotion was later stopped by a bouncer. Eigenmann's companions included Frank Magalona, son of rapper Francis Magalona, and Jeck-Jeck Lacson, son of politician Ping Lacson.[14]
