He is occasionally associated with his past showbiz relationships most notably his highly publicized romance with actress Jane de Leon though he has stated they broke off on good terms as their careers grew.

He remains in a committed, long-term relationship with non-showbiz partner Camille Buenaventura. The two have been publicly together since they made their relationship official in 2020.

In March 2026, Villaflor formally released statements condemning the "weaponization of private content" after unauthorized intimate videos circulated online. He referred the matter to authorities, citing digital abuse and violations of privacy, while clarifying that previous clips that surfaced were merely old scenes from past films.
