Japan trip with Daniel

On August 29, Kaila opened up more about her relationship with Daniel by posting a collection of snapshots from their trip this month. The photos showed the two bonding over a meal at a Japanese restaurant with friends, all on their way to the Summer Sonic music festival.

The snaps fans can’t stop replaying

It was her photos with Daniel that caught the internet’s attention. One shot captured the two seated beside each other at a restaurant, looking relaxed. In another, Daniel could be seen gently resting his hands on Kaila’s lap while riding the train to the festival, a moment that promptly flooded the comments.

A romance brewing since last year

Kaila and Daniel have been rumored to be in a relationship. Both are part of the Kapamilya action series Incognito, which marked Kaila’s first foray into the action genre.

Daniel, who just turned 31, was previously in a long-term relationship with Kathryn Bernardo. The two confirmed their breakup in November 2023 after 11 years together.

Mom’s blessing

Kaila’s mother, veteran actress Janice de Belen, has already voiced her support. On “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” she said she is just happy that Kaila is happy, and that a parent should not interfere when a child is content.
