Markus Paterson has been the talk of the town recently because of how he defended his little family from the public eye. But aside from being Janella Salvador’s other half and Jude’s dad, what else do we know about him?
Here are a few fast facts about Markus Paterson, like his early life, schools, hobbies:
Markus was born on June 3, 1998, and is the only child of former British Air Force pilot George Trevor Paterson and Pangasinan-based businesswoman Norma Mario-Paterson.

After staying here for a few years, he went back to England to be with his father.
Markus actually went to college in Enderun.

In an interview with RX 93.1, Markus mentioned that he didn’t want to pursue showbiz at first as he wanted to prioritize his football career.

Later on, he joined the cast of KathNiel’s La Luna Sangre as a supporting actor and was officially launched as a part of Star Magic Batch 21.
