Is She Dating Anyone?

The second child of Terrence uploaded a photo of herself in April 2019 sitting on the lap of an unknown man named Gio Pes, who was probably Italian.
Heaven Howard implied that she had a boyfriend in one of her posts. Nevertheless, she didn’t make it very clear.
What deserves extra attention is that the image comes with the caption, ‘A “couple,”‘ written by none other than Heaven, herself.
And although there are a few or two comments within the post itself that have remarked on the picture of Gio and Howard with the word, “couple” and some red heart emoji, Heaven didn’t reveal what she was trying to convey.
What remained unanswered was if the young Italian was the 23-year-old’s boyfriend or if the act was just in the spur of the moment. What’s more, Gio never made an appearance on Heaven’s Insta since then.
Has Heaven Howard Cut Off Her Father From Her Life?
