When an adorable celebrity couple breaks up, it can be devastating, with shippers often hoping they run back into each other’s arms and patch things up. Case in point: Shortly after rumors that Kobe Paras and Erika Poturnak called it quits circulated on socials, their followers couldn’t help but feel saddened by the news.

If you’re one of those who are still holding out for a possible reconciliation between these ex-lovebirds, then we’ve got juicy update for ya: Kobe and Erika were spotted spending some ~*good time*~ together in her IG stories, sparking reconciliation rumors.

Take a look below:

Further, eagle-eyed netizens also noticed the similar setting of the two’s Instagram posts—as they’re often seen having tropical adventures with friends and, *possibly*, each other.


 

Whispers of an alleged romance between Kobe and Erika started after they were spotted spending a vacay together in Bali in June 2022, followed by a round of online PDA where they posted cuddly couple photos. Three months later, they stirred breakup rumors after unfollowing and deleting all traces of each other on Instagram.

It was March this year when Erika’s mom Ina Raymundo subtly confirmed her daughter’s fallout with the basketball star, citing LDR as its likely reason. “As you can see, it’s obvious naman na hindi nagtuloy kung anuman yun. Because kahit na compatible pa sila or hindi compatible, how can you make a relationship work kung nasa East Coast yung isa tapos nasa Asia ka? Pano magwowork yun? Ang hirap talaga ng long-distance relationship. Magkikita kayo once a year? Mahirap yun. Kaya hindi advisable for Erika to be in a relationship sa malayo or kahit sa school niya, wala,” she said in an interview.

P.S. As always, it’s best to take everything with a grain of salt since neither has gone on the record to confirm or deny their relationship. We’ll keep you updated once that changes, though!
