He never confirmed anything in any of his interviews, but on social media, he's been showing his bonding moments with Ellie even after his "final" breakup and at the height of his Twitter spat with Andi.
This Instagram post, for example, his caption read: "I'll keep you safe. Keep you warm."
For her part, Andi had repeatedly said that despite the gap between her and Jake, he is welcome to see Ellie anytime.
Now looking at these photos of Jake and Ellie, we can see that if Max's claim is really true, what a cute and cool tandem Jake and Ellie make.

3. He loves her, she loves him.
Jake admitted in an interview with PEP, "Well, ever since, I considered Ellie as my daughter na rin."
Oh, boy. They're so sweet!
4. He's quite a babysitter.
When Andi showed a photo of The Palace Pool Club to Ellie, the four-year-old lady said she's been there.
Who brought Ellie there?
The answer was on Twitter, where Jake posted the photo below with the caption: "Took this one to the club today #workhard #babysithard".
5. Bonding time with Ellie is a must for Jake.
In a previous interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), he said, "Mahirap mawala yung bond namin..."
