Alan Benedict "Albie" Lee Casiño (born May 14, 1993) is a Filipino actor who became popular after starring in the hit remake of Mara Clara alongside Julia Montes, Kathryn Bernardo, and John Manalo. And he is known as one of the member of Kapamilya Cuties with their member; Diego Loyzaga, Dominic Roque and Yves Flores
Casiño was involved in a controversy with ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann. Eigenmann was reportedly almost five months pregnant on June 29, 2011. She then revealed that the father of her child was her "first" boyfriend, and Albie was one of the suspects.
Meanwhile, Eigenmann's present boyfriend, Jake Ejercito already denied that he is the father while Albie's mother neither confirmed or denied that Albie is the father of Andi's unborn child. However, in an interview of Eigenmann's father, Mark Gil, he did hint that the father of the child is Eigenmann's first and only boyfriend; he also said that Ejercito was not the father and he respected him for being there, even if he was not the father of the child. Eventually, after a 5 year dispute, in September of 2016, it was finally confirmed by Eigenmanns's sister in a podcast, that Jake Ejercito, is the confirmed father, and that a paternity test was taken, without Casiño's knowledge.
In August 2015, Casiño revealed his battle with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, citing it as a reason for his departure from ABS-CBN.
On May 4, 2012, Eigenmann saw Casiño at a bar in Makati and reportedly threw wine on Casiño's face and slapped him. Casiño went to the restroom "to clean himself up" with the intention of leaving the bar after but he and a friend were purportedly followed to the parking lot by Eigenmann's companions and was beaten up. The commotion was later stopped by a bouncer. Eigenmann's companions included Frank Magalona, son of late rapper Francis Magalona, and Jeck-Jeck Lacson, son of politician Ping Lacson.
