Star Magic announced the upcoming contract signing of Kathryn Bernardo on February 2, 2024, under their management. From the beginning of her career, Star Magic has played a significant role in shaping Kathryn Bernardo’s path, leading to the formation of the KathNiel love team with Daniel Padilla, which gained immense popularity and evolved into a genuine relationship lasting almost 11 years.
However, the world of millions of KathNiel fans crumbled last year when news of their separation broke, fueled by allegations of third-party involvement. Despite this, Kathryn’s career continued to thrive, with a steady flow of projects, and it seemed that Kathryn Bernardo was now free, evident in her posts showcasing activities she hadn’t done during her time with Daniel Padilla due to his alleged strictness.
At a young age, Kathryn seemed tied to Daniel, constrained in her actions due to Padilla’s strictness, hindering her from fully enjoying the success of her career and the financial gains it brought.
In Kathryn’s recent post, celebrating with friends, she appeared liberated like a free bird released from a cage after a long time of confinement.
On the other hand, negative events seem to unfold in Daniel Padilla’s life after their separation. Allegations of a debt incurred by Karla Estrada, Daniel’s mother, to Kathryn’s family, amounting to 20 million pesos, surfaced. Daniel reportedly sold his luxurious sports car, and their house, closed his high-end store, and lost some of his endorsements.
With Kathryn’s upcoming contract signing, an announcement was made a few weeks ago about her upcoming movie with Jericho Rosales, with shooting set to begin soon. This triggered the gradual resurfacing of issues surrounding the two, especially after sightings of them jogging together in recent days.
