bf refers to Phil

My ex colleague sent me a sms to invite me to her house warming . I decided that I'd just drop by since her new place is nearby. She was thoughtful to ask if I'm bringing my bf too. Shortly after, I read "Bring Philo along la girl. He got church meh?" It is surprising that she remembers him by name. When she mentioned bf, I thought of him cos I knew she'd refer him as THE bf. I simply replied "RSVP for my attendance only, dear. Thanks for the invite."
