James Reid is set to make his teleserye comeback this year—and while he didn’t name his next leading lady, netizens are convinced it’s none other than Kathryn Bernardo.
In a recent interview on Karen Davila’s vlog, James spoke with enthusiasm about working on a new project with a “talented actress,” expressing how eager he is to start filming. Though he kept details under wraps, his energy was palpable.
“I’m really excited,” James said, smiling. “She’s someone I’ve always wanted to work with—not necessarily as a love team, but as a co-actor. I admire her professionalism.”
That subtle but glowing praise had fans immediately pointing fingers toward Kathryn Bernardo. Comments flooded social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with users coining the ship name “KathReid” and expressing excitement over the potential pairing.
“It’s still unconfirmed, but there’s significant buzz that James Reid may be paired with Kathryn Bernardo in an upcoming series,” wrote one user. Another quipped, “I’m already imagining their chemistry! Can’t wait!”
Rumors have long circulated about a Kathryn-James project, with whispers even suggesting the series might be shot abroad. Neither party nor ABS-CBN has confirmed the casting, but insiders say a major announcement is coming soon from ABS-CBN Studios.
If confirmed, the project would mark the first collaboration between two of the biggest names in Philippine entertainment—Kathryn, fresh off her successful solo path, and James, who has taken a break from acting to focus on music and his record label.
Until then, fans will just have to stay tuned—and keep dreaming of KathReid.
