Kylie Padilla spoke up about the guy she was spotted with last December at a mall, with the actress seemingly confirming that the latter is her new beau.
In a video shared by one @ivhetgonzales on TikTok last Dec. 26, Padilla was seen coming out of a shoe and accessories store alongside a non-showbiz guy, who was later identified to be tattoo artist Jinno John Simon.
The clip immediately made rounds on social media, with curious netizens speculating that Jinno is Padilla’s boyfriend.
@ivhetgonzales Yes naman🤪 #fypシ #kyliepadilla #encantadia_amihan💙 #xyzbca
Padilla then addressed the speculations through a separate TikTok video with celebrity fitness coach Francis Simon, who’s apparently the brother of Jinno.
“‘Meron akong itatanong. Nagkakagulo ang lahat; nagtatalo sila e. Sino ba ‘yung kasama mo sa mall, ‘yung nakaputi [at] long hair?” Francis asked Padilla who was standing beside him.
(I have something to ask you because everyone is abuzz. Who’s the guy who was with you recently at a mall? The one wearing a white shirt and has long hair?)
“Ah, ‘yun ba? [Siya] ‘yung nagpapasaya sa puso ko. ‘Yun ‘yon,” the actress replied, then chuckled. (Oh, him? He’s the one making my heart happy right now.)
Francis even jokingly asked if the guy Padilla was referring to was someone he knows, which prompted the actress to quip: “Parang kilala mo ‘yun, kuya. Parang kamukha mo nga e.” (I feel like you know him. You two even share a resemblance.)
@fjtsimonthemafia Ano daw @Kylie Padilla 🐍
While Padilla did not expound on the identity of Jinno or the status of their relationship, Francis confirmed some of the netizens’ hunches in the comments section.
