Speculation surrounding the real score between Kapuso actress AZ Martinez and Kapamilya actor Ralph De Leon intensified after the two were spotted sharing sweet moments at the Araneta concert of KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde.

Videos circulating online showed Martinez and De Leon exchanging smiles, glances, and light affectionate gestures while enjoying the show. At one point, Martinez was seen singing along passionately, prompting netizens to ask whether something more than friendship is blossoming between the two.
The pair first grew close during their stint on ‘Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition’ and are now working together again in the upcoming series ‘The Secrets of Hotel 88’.
In a previous interview on ‘Unang Hirit,’ Martinez openly acknowledged their closeness.
“We’re really close, as in, kasi kami, we’ve built a special bond talaga with each other,” she said. “We value each other talaga kaya, what you see is what you get.”
Her fellow housemate and co-star Bianca De Vera also shared her observation about the two.
“I guess, what you see is really what you get. They’re so real. Ang sweet nila sa isa’t isa,” De Vera said.
Martinez also revealed that De Leon was the first person she invited when she planned a Siargao trip in January, further fueling fan speculation.
As for what makes De Leon stand out, Martinez shared that she admires his dedication to his craft.
“Nakikita ko kung paano siya nagsa-study ng script, he’s really invested,” she said, adding that the actor loves listening to music and that they sometimes share earphones on set.
Despite the visible chemistry and public displays of affection that fans describe as “soft launch” energy, neither Martinez nor De Leon has officially confirmed the status of their relationship.
