The rumored romance between Daniel Padilla and Kaila Estrada continues to be the talk of netizens, especially after a vlog clip featuring Kaila’s mom, Janice de Belen, went viral.
Fans first noticed Daniel and Kaila’s closeness while filming their teleserye Incognito, and more recently, the two have been spotted dining out together and attending gatherings side by side.
Entertainment host Ogie Diaz even claimed on his YouTube show that his sources confirmed the two are indeed dating, though neither Daniel nor Kaila has spoken about the matter.
The latest buzz came from a vlog of Aiko Melendez, where Janice appeared alongside fellow actresses Carmina Villarroel, Gelli de Belen, and Candy Pangilinan, who co-host the podcast ‘Wala Pa Kaming Title’. During the vlog, Aiko playfully asked Janice about her reaction to Kaila being linked to Daniel.
Instead of Janice answering directly, the group decided Candy should respond on her behalf. Candy quipped that Janice trusted Kaila’s judgment because she is smart and independent-minded.
What netizens quickly noticed, however, was Janice’s smile during the exchange—a subtle gesture that many took as a sign of her being happy for her daughter and Daniel.
Reactions online were mixed, with some fans gushing over the possible new love team, while others remained surprised at the pairing, noting that Daniel had long been linked to actress Maris Racal, and previously, of course, was in an 11-year relationship with Kathryn Bernardo.
As of now, Daniel and Kaila have yet to issue any statement regarding their relationship status, but Janice’s reaction is enough to fuel more intrigue among fans.
