Veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin recently claimed that former couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are once again in communication. Citing a reliable source close to Kathryn, Fermin revealed that the two have allegedly started talking after more than a year since confirming their highly publicized breakup.
“Meron po kaming mga impormanteng hindi nanununog at nangunguryente na nagpaabot sa amin ng impormasyon na nag-uusap na raw po ngayon si Daniel Padilla at si Kathryn Bernardo,” Fermin shared. She added that while this information has been passed on to her by trusted insiders, only Kathryn and Daniel themselves can confirm if the conversations truly happened.
KathNiel, as their fans fondly call them, was among the most celebrated love teams in Philippine showbiz, and their relationship spanned over a decade. Their split, which they both announced in late 2023, left many of their supporters heartbroken. Since then, both have continued their respective careers—Daniel currently stars in the action-packed series Incognito, while Kathryn has recently gained attention for the box-office success of Hello, Love Again.
According to Fermin, a significant factor in their reported reconnection is a mutual friend who has served as a bridge between them. “Ang bridge, hindi po namin babanggitin ang pangalan ng best friend ni Kathryn Bernardo na malapit kay Daniel Padilla pero siya pala ang nag-uugnay sa dalawa,” she disclosed.
Despite these claims, neither Kathryn nor Daniel has addressed the rumors. Given their history, fans remain eager to know whether the two are simply reconnecting as friends or if there is a possibility of rekindling their relationship.
For now, their supporters will have to wait for confirmation from the former couple. Whether their renewed communication leads to something more remains to be seen.
