Rumors have surfaced about actor Daniel Padilla frequently visiting the subdivision where his ex-girlfriend, actress Kathryn Bernardo, resides. Veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin revealed on her program Showbiz Now Na that Padilla’s vehicle was reportedly seen multiple times in the area over the past week. According to Fermin, Padilla allegedly seeks help from intermediaries to arrange a heartfelt conversation with Bernardo, hoping to rekindle their relationship.
This speculation is not the first time the actor’s attempts to reconnect with Bernardo have made headlines. Padilla reportedly visited Bernardo’s dressing room during ABS-CBN’s Christmas special in December 2023. A video from the event showing Padilla kissing Bernardo on the forehead circulated widely on social media, fueling talks of his desire to win her back. Adding to these observations, Padilla has kept their shared photos on his Instagram account, sparking further speculation about lingering feelings.
Bernardo and Padilla, popularly known as “KathNiel,” confirmed their breakup on November 30, 2023, ending their 11-year relationship. Bernardo addressed the split through an Instagram post, expressing her journey toward healing and forgiveness. “I can say I’m healed,” she shared, emphasizing her focus on personal growth and peace.
In April 2024, Bernardo marked a new chapter in her life by celebrating the blessing of her new home in Antipolo. This milestone symbolized a fresh start for the actress. Meanwhile, Padilla has channeled his efforts into professional ventures, including the soft launch of J Castles, an immersive amusement park located in Tanauan, Batangas, in May 2024.
Neither Bernardo nor Padilla has commented on the rumors of his recent visits or any potential reconciliation. Their silence has left fans and media eagerly awaiting official statements from the former couple.
As the speculation continues, supporters of “KathNiel” are left wondering whether this marks the beginning of a new chapter for the beloved duo or merely a gesture of closure. Only time—and perhaps confirmation from the stars themselves—will reveal the truth behind these reports.
