But his mum Anjelica will not be celebrating with him after a rift developed over his relationship with model Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose, who was born in the Philippines but grew up in Australia.
Yulu said on TikTok: “My mother judged Chloe right away because of how she dressed and acted.
“Chloe and I grew up in different environments. Chloe grew up in Australia, and that’s the culture she knows.
“It’s very different from how we move, talk, and dress in the Philippines.
“Chloe has her own income. Everything you see her using and all her travels come from her hard work.
“Ever since the beginning, she didn’t like Chloe, even though she hadn’t met or seen her in person.
“Our relationship worsened when I started setting boundaries. I stood up for Chloe because I like her.”
Yulo has also accused Anjelica of taking his prize money from the 2022 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
He added: “My mother had access to my accounts and my monthly sports allowance.
“When I finally got control of my accounts, I found out that she had taken money out.
“I have statements that show all of her withdrawal.”
Anjelica said: “The money was given to me. As a mother, I was worried that my child might have financial problems in the future. So I invested it under my name.
“Son, I am sorry. I understand some may think I’m only speaking now because of your success.
“I ask for your forgiveness as a concerned mother. You are mature enough to make your own decisions. Our door is always open, regardless of your financial status.
“I can’t take back my words, but your father and I are ready to talk with understanding whenever you’re ready to come home and resolve this.”
Chloe Anjeleigh, 22, has 900,000 TikTok followers and 117,000 on Instagram.
She posts content for Fashion Nova and has reportedly pursued a career in nursing.
Yulo has landed a series of rewards for his triumph, including £480,000 from real-estate company Megaworld and a luxury three-bed condo.
The government will give him £218,000 and he also scooped a lifetime supply of ramen, free colonoscopies and unlimited entries to a local buffet chain.
