Kathryn Bernardo had netizens buzzing after a lighthearted moment on ‘Pilipinas Got Talent’ (PGT) went viral—hinting that the actress may still be tuned in to the latest projects of her former flame, Daniel Padilla.
During the April 13 episode of the talent show, judge Freddie M. Garcia (FMG) surprised both the contestant and fellow judges when he asked an unexpected question.
The contestant, Raymart Pandalan, who was about to perform an acrobatic routine using German wheels, first caught Kathryn’s eye for his familiar look.
“You kind of look like Ronnie, right? Ronnie Alonte,” Kathryn remarked with a smile, referring to another Kapamilya actor.
As Raymart bashfully played along, pretending to walk off stage in jest, FMG chimed in with a cheeky follow-up:
“Are you related to Daniel Padilla?”
The crowd erupted into laughter and cheers, while Kathryn—clearly amused—couldn’t help but laugh and respond: “Hair. Same hair. Incognito!”
Her remark was referring to Daniel’s current ABS-CBN action-drama series Incognito, where he sports a mullet-style haircut—similar to the contestant’s.
This unexpected moment immediately sparked speculation online, with fans wondering if Kathryn had been keeping up with Incognito, or at the very least, staying updated with Daniel’s look for the show.
Some even questioned if this could mean she was watching the series herself.
The interaction quickly trended on TikTok, with netizens swooning over Kathryn’s unbothered but happy reaction when Daniel’s name was brought up.
Kathryn and Daniel confirmed their breakup in separate statements released on November 30, 2023, ending their 11-year relationship. Though fans were heartbroken, Kathryn later said in an interview with Boy Abunda in October 2024 that she had no regrets.
“You know, nothing. I don’t regret anything,” she said. “It was eleven beautiful years… I want [my younger self] to experience all the happiness, all the pain… because it’s going to be a big part of your growth.”
As of now, Kathryn remains single, according to her mother Min Bernardo, despite having many suitors.
