Is Chloe San Jose leveraging Carlos Yulo's fame, or is she genuinely advocating for mental health?

For Carlos Yulo, life is tumultuous right now. Despite making history for the Philippines, the gymnast is amidst a controversial row with his mother over the Olympian’s financial situation. However, his girlfriend Chloe San Jose has a rock steady in supporting him through his family dispute. And yet, the model can’t seem to escape the frowning gaze of the fans no matter what she does.

San Jose hasn’t had an easy life herself. Her relationship with her own parents has been shaky, to say the least. Earlier this month, it was revealed how an argument at her home one night spiraled into chaos and Chloe had to leave home to protect her mental peace. And now, as she tries to dedicate her life to advocating for mental well-being further, Yulo’s fans think Sa Jose shouldn’t try to overdo things.

In her Instagram post from October 24, San Jose shared news of her latest professional milestone. Sharing an image from her recent photoshoot with Nylon Manila, Carlos Yulo’s beau expressed her gratitude for the good things coming her way. Exclaiming her disbelief about the significance of the shoot, San Jose wrote on IG, “Such an incredible honor, and it means even more because it’s about something I hold close to my heart: mental health.” She went on to reiterate why the battle against mental ordeals must be fought together and how having support can make a big difference.

 

We all have our battles, and being able to share, inspire others to prioritise their wellbeing and raise awareness is a dream come true,” Chloe noted her joy at being able to work for something she believes in. During the photoshoot, San Jose also asserted why people must be militant about protecting their mental health. According to an article by Nylon Manila, the model stated, “Protecting my peace means to me that I will cut off people who are not respecting the peace that I’m making for myself.

Carlos Yulo’s beloved then elaborated on the things that help to find peace within herself. “Spending time with people that I love. Giving back to others…Editing my content. Playing games. Really just spending time, like a lot of quality time for me and for the people that I love,” Jose was quoted saying in the article from October 21. And still, it looks like her Olympian boyfriend’s fans are convinced to accept her as one of their own just yet.

However, another user thinks Chloe has a long way to go before she understands why what she’s doing isn’t correct: leveraging Yulo’s fame to enhance her life. Slamming Jose’s duality, the fan wrote, “You are still young. You’re still too selfish that’s why it’s okay to step on someone as long as you can get what you want.” But user djaemin says she shouldn’t pay heed to the criticism and should focus on her own life. “Queen…you deserve all the good things you have now,” opined this fan.

Another fan, Hiro, noticed that Yulo is generally never seen whenever Jose has a photoshoot, while on the other hand, she’s always there whenever the Olympian has any promotion. Noting their amazement at the matter, the fan commented, “why is it that when Carlos Yulo has a pictorial you always go with him, but when he has a pictorial you don’t go with him?
