From lighthearted romantic comedies to heavy drama and mystery thrillers, Kapamilya actress Kathryn Bernardo has shown her mettle in various genres.
She has held her own, proving even then she was more than just the other half of KathNiel, the love team beloved by fans with her ex-partner Daniel Padilla.
Moreover, the box office record of Hello Love Goodbye, Kathryn’s movie with Alden Richards, has demonstrated that being paired with another actor was a non-issue to her fans.
As she explores fresh opportunities, fans eagerly anticipate her collaborations with other top-notch leading men in Philippine showbiz.
ALDEN RICHARDS
KathDen fans are clamoring for a sequel to their first movie, which is presently the highest grossing Filipino film of all time. Possible?
Given that both of their recent films—A Very Good Girl for Kathryn and Five Breakups and a Romance for Alden—have been the first to surpass the PHP100 million mark in box-office sales post-pandemic, producers are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to join forces on this reunion project.
JOSHUA GARCIA
One of the showbiz names making the most noise on social media as Kathryn’s screen partner is fellow Kapamilya talent Joshua Garcia.
It makes sense. With the 26-year-old heartthrob and Kathryn belonging in the same circle of friends, the chemistry between them is built-in.
Besides, Kathryn was Joshua’s first celebrity crush.
JERICHO ROSALES
Jericho Rosales has expressed his wish for Kathryn to be his leading lady.
An exciting venture may be a musical, with Kathryn dipping into the genre with her 2014 self-titled album and Mr. Pogi’s years of experience in acting and singing.
JOHN LLOYD CRUZ
A titillating prospect: Kathryn and John Lloyd Cruz in a rom-com.
She, who can get naughty and nice, and funny, for that kind of role, and he, a master of romantic comedies offering loads of memorable lines on the silver screen.
CARLO AQUINO
Anyone who has seen the world-renowned, multi-awarded film Anak knows that Carlo Aquino delivers stellar performance in every project.
It will be a spectacle to watch Kathryn and Carlo engage in a battle of heart-wrenching and emotional dialogues onscreen.
DENNIS TRILLO
Dennis Trillo as a versatile actor will make him a compelling leading man for Kathryn.
Kapuso’s Drama King may just be the man to help Kathryn fulfill her desire to spread her wings and explore new horizons.
PAULO AVELINO
Exploring new on-screen partners would be incomplete without one of Philippine showbiz’s celebrated charmers, Paulo Avelino.
Since the success of his portrayal as Goyo (Gregorio del Pilar), the “Boy General,” Paulo has been on a roll with one flourishing project after another. It will be interesting to see him match Kathryn’s acting caliber in his next project.

GERALD ANDERSON
Multi-awarded actor Gerald Anderson and Kathryn bringing out their A-game in a movie surely will sweep viewers off their feet. And an action-packed movie as a thrilling prospect for their collaboration seems right up their alley.
DONNY PANGILINAN
This may be far-fetched, the prospect of Kathryn being paired with Donny Pangilinan, but who knows? And, maybe, some fans out there are already crossing their fingers.
MARCO GUMABAO
Fearless, bold, and sultry are some of the adjectives that come to mind as Kathryn enters solo-dom. And should she explore the erotic genre, stars like Marco Gumabao is everyone’s best bet to be her leading man.
JAMES REID
Careless Music co-founder James Reid is channeling his energy into rediscovering new sides of him apart from being an actor and singer.
It will be the talk of the town if he starts looking in the direction of doing a movie with Kathryn, the Teen Queen-turned-Asia’s Superstar.
XIAN LIM
Filipino-Chinese actor Xian Lim, who is making his mark both in the acting and hosting departments, is another likely candidate as Kathry’s leading man.
And given their acting chops, Kathryn and Xian will be good together whether in a comedy or drama.
