The rumor mill is up and running today. A new rumored couple has come to the attention of eagle-eyed netizens, and we’re here to catch all the buzz for you.
The hot topic: Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras.
Fans were extremely curious after spotting almost-identical photos from Kyline and Kobe’s Instagram accounts—leading to speculations that it’s the first of the rumored couple’s ~lovestagram.~
What fans spotted in Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras’ IG accounts
With Kyline being a thriving, single woman nowadays, her followers seemed to be a little bit more excited than ever to see signs of Kyline’s love life blossoming once again. On Sunday, May 19, 2024, the Kapuso actress posted her usual “IG dump” or what we see as a photo carousel of random snaps or videos she took during her daily life.
The post included some behind-the-scenes of her projects, selcas, and other sceneries seen through Kyline’s lens. But the most interesting of it all was two snaps of a restaurant, which Kyline geo-tagged. It was in Helm by Josh Boutwood.
Almost at the same time, Kobe uploaded a photo on his Instagram stories. The photo was captured allegedly almost at the same angle and position of how Kyline’s photo also appeared.
This is when some followers of Kyline directly asked her, “Hala, are you with Kobe [Paras]?” Other netizens followed suit and began speculating about Kyline and Kobe’s connection, almost not thinking that the photos might be just a coincidence.
ICYMI, Kyline made headlines in the past for her breakup with ex-boyfriend Mavy Legaspi. Controversies surrounded their breakup, which they did not explicitly announce. The two started hanging out in 2021, owning the love team MavLine.
The couple’s split gained traction after Kyline posted cryptic posts that netizens think allude to the reason for their breakup. On November 24, Friday, Kyline tweeted, “I knew it,” drawing various reactions from her followers.
Kyline and Mavy never addressed the issues about their broken relationship. Fans somehow just accepted the fact that they can never be together for now in any of their projects.
On the other hand, Kobe has long been reported to have built a relationship with Erika Poturnak. Kobe and Erika sparked dating rumors in 2022 after they posted sweet PDA pics of them together. They also had a fair share of overseas travels together, starting from their Bali to California.
But in March 2023, Erika’s mom, Ina Raymundo, spilled the beans and confirmed that Erika and Kobe had broken up. The reason? They didn’t survive their long-distance relationship. At the time, Erika is already studying in the US, while Kobe is focusing on his training as a pro basketball player in Japan.
“Kahit na compatible pa sila or hindi compatible, how can you make a relationship work kung nasa East Coast yung isa tapos nasa Asia ka? Pano magwowork yun? Ang hirap talaga ng long-distance relationship,” Ina said in an interview with journalist Rose Fabregas.
Even the one who seems to have ordered desserts.
Kyline’s only caption was a smiling face with hearts emoji.
The interior of this restaurant resembles the Instagram Stories that Kobe posted that same day.
Here you can see the picture of the chefs standing in the kitchen area while there are two wine glasses and flowers on the table.
KYLINE ALCANTARA’S PAST RELATIONSHIP
Kapuso actor-TV host Mavy Legaspi was the last to be linked to Kyline.
Kyline and Mavy will publicly say that they started as best friends until they officially became lovers.
But in November 2023, controversy surrounded their relationship when it was reported that they had separated.
Until now, Kyline and Mavy have not made public the reason why they broke up.
But netizens began to notice their breakup when Kyline and Mavy’s mother, Carmina Villarroel, seemed to be flirting online, something that some netizens didn’t like, especially Kyline’s fans who called Mavy “mama’s boy”.
Mavy’s co-host on the defunct noontime show Tahanang Pinamasaya (formerly Eat Bulaga!) Dasuri Choi was also implicated in her breakup with Kyline.
Dasuri is said to be the third party in the relationship between Mavy and Kyline.
This speculation took root when a video of Mavy and Dasuri together attending the soft opening of a restaurant owned by one of the executive producers of the Kapuso noontime show, Tahanang Pinamakasaya, spread on TikTok in November 2023.
In the video taken by the netizen, Dasuri and Mavy can be seen entering a restaurant, along with their co-hosts Cassy Legaspi and Michael Sager.
In another angle of the video, Mavy and Dasuri can be seen next to each other, while Cassy and Michael are on the other side.
It was tainted with malice because during these times Mavy and Kyline’s relationship was facing intrigue.
Tube, Dasuri strongly denied that he and Mavy had a relationship and that he was the one who ruined the relationship between the two.
KOBE PARAS’S PAST RELATIONSHIP
Meanwhile, as far as the public knows, Erika Rae Poturnak was Kobe’s last girlfriend.
Erika’s mother, Ina Raymundo, herself confirmed to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) on March 17, 2023, that Erika and Kobe have separated.
This is despite the two openly admitting about the true state of their relationship.
According to Ina, LDR or long-distance relationship is the reason for the divorce of the two.
“No, they’re not together,” Ina confirmed.
He emphasized, “As long as it’s gone, that’s all. It didn’t work. Long distance doesn’t work.
“It’s a mutual decision. They’re good, no bitterness, nothing.”
In June 2022, when netizens first noticed that there was a special relationship between Kobe and Erika.
This is after they shared on Instagram pictures of them together while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia.
But by September 2022, they unfollowed each other on Instagram after they vacationed in California.
They also followed back later, but are said to have unfollowed again in January 2023.
Until June 17, 2023, Kobe and Erika were again intrigued when they were spotted together at an airport in Siargao.
As of the writing of this article, Kyline and Kobe have yet to make a statement regarding their rumored relationship.
