Actor Jake Cuenca appears to be becoming more open about his relationship with rumored girlfriend Rabiya Mateo after posting a series of sweet photos of them together on Instagram.
The Kapamilya actor uploaded five cozy and affectionate photos with Rabiya, where the two could be seen looking extra close and comfortable with each other.
Jake kept the caption simple, posting only a heart emoji, but many netizens immediately interpreted it as another sign that the two are already serious about their relationship.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Rabiya herself replied in the comments section with a kiss emoji.
Fans also noticed that the photos appeared to have been taken during the recent Miss Universe Philippines 2026 coronation night held on May 2, where both Jake and Rabiya served as presenters.
During the event, Rabiya wore a shimmering red body-hugging gown, while Jake complemented her look in a white suit accented with a red flower brooch.
The post quickly drew reactions from fellow celebrities and fans.
“Happy for you kuya Edong,” commented JM de Guzman.
Meanwhile, several netizens expressed support for the rumored couple.
“Infairness sobrang bagay nila. Sana sila na talaga hanggang huli. Hard launch na yan?” one fan wrote.
Another netizen commented, “I just checked Rabiya’s account ang wholesome. Gusto ko ‘yung sa beach lang siya half naked, that’s nice. Sana end game na talaga ito.”
Jake previously confirmed in April that he and Rabiya were “exclusively dating.”
“Yes, it’s true. It’s safe to say that she makes me really happy and we’re exclusively dating at the moment,” the actor shared at the time.
The dating rumors between the two first started circulating in March after they were spotted together during a public outing in Taguig and later attended a birthday party together.
Jake had also openly admired Rabiya on social media in previous months, even calling her “breathtaking” in one of her Thailand photos.
Before being linked to Rabiya, Jake was previously in a relationship with Chie Filomeno, while Rabiya earlier confirmed her breakup with Jeric Gonzales in 2025.
