In an episode of “Are You G?” hosted by entertainment journalist MJ Felipe, Daniel was asked whether he is currently in a relationship.
While the 30-year-old actor did not directly answer the question, he shared that he doesn’t want to feel pressured and prefers to keep his personal matters private, away from “showbiz” or public attention.
“Huwag na nating i-pressure ‘yung sarili natin, huwag na nating ilagay sa ganun, i-showbiz pa ‘yun pero you get my point. Lalabas at lalabas, pero ayoko lang na may naghihintay na alam mo ‘yun, huwag na. Hayaan na nating mangyari ang mga mangyayari (Let’s not pressure ourselves. Let’s not put it in that situation or make it a showbiz thing, but you get my point. Things will eventually come out, but I just don’t want anyone waiting or expecting, you know? Let’s just leave things as they are and let whatever’s meant to happen, happen),” he responded.
“Huwag niyo na muna kaming kulitin, just let it be. Hayaan na lang nating mangyari ang mga bagay. And again, ayoko siyang maging showbiz eh. Well ‘di pa rin naman maiiwasan ‘di ba pero may choice pa rin naman ako, ‘di ba (Please, don’t bug us about it for now, just let it be. Let things happen naturally. And again, I don’t want it to become a showbiz issue. Well, it’s unavoidable, right? But I still have a choice, don’t I)?” he added.
Previously, showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz claimed that both actors are in a relationship, sharing that they were spotted romantically on multiple occasions.
“May nagsabi lang naman sa akin. Depende sa kanila kung aaminin nila o ide-deny nila (Someone just told me. It’s up to them whether they’ll admit it or deny it),” Ogie said. “Sa atin, may nag-confirm lang. Pero importante na marinig natin si Daniel at si Kaila kung gaano ito ka-totoo (On our end, someone just confirmed it. But it’s important that we hear from Daniel and Kaila themselves about how true this really is).”
As the romance rumors continue to circulate on social media, the 29-year-old actress has yet to comment on whether they are officially in a relationship.
Daniel Padilla was previously in a long-term relationship with Kathryn Bernardo, which lasted for 11 years. Meanwhile, Kaila Estrada is the daughter of veteran actors Janice De Belen and John Estrada. She rose to fame for her acting performance in Linlang and Can’t Buy Me Love.
