David Licauco stirred buzz online after responding to a netizen’s reminder about the “3-month rule” following Barbie Forteza’s announcement of her breakup with long-time partner Jak Roberto.
On January 3, the Kapuso star shared a photo of himself relaxing on a balcony with the caption, “Chill lang .” The post quickly gained attention from fans, many of whom left playful comments.
One netizen wrote, “Basta David ha, sinasabi ko sayo tandaan mo yong 3-month rule bago mo ligawan.” David replied with a grinning face with sweat emoji, sparking more reactions from fans of the ‘Maria Clara at Ibarra’ actor.
The “3-month rule” refers to the belief that someone who has recently ended a relationship should wait three months before entering a new one to give themselves time to heal.
The comment resonated with fans of the BarDa love team—David and Barbie’s onscreen pairing—which rose to fame due to their undeniable chemistry in ‘Maria Clara at Ibarra’. Their banter both onscreen and online has further fueled fan speculation about their offscreen relationship.
Barbie Forteza confirmed her split from Jak Roberto earlier this year but has not addressed any dating rumors. Meanwhile, David has kept his posts lighthearted, often engaging with fans in playful interactions.
