After 4 months of breaking up with her 11-year relationship, Filipino beauty Kathryn Bernardo is said to have a new love, her co-star in the box office blockbuster “Hello, Love, Goodbye”.
It’s been four months since Kathryn Bernardo confirmed her split from Daniel Padilla , ending a famous 11-year fairytale love story in Philippine showbiz. Now, some netizens have discovered that the actress seems to be in a new relationship with Alden Richards. He is an actor and businessman who co-starred with Kathryn in the Philippine box office hit Hello, Love, Goodbye, which premiered in 2019.
The dating rumors broke out when some pictures and clips of Kathryn Bernardo’s 28th birthday party went viral online. It can be seen that Alden Richards appeared at the party, surprising Kathryn by unexpectedly giving her a bouquet of red roses and a gift.
Some netizens also noticed the rings that Kathryn and Alden wore on their index fingers. Another video shows the two standing close to each other during a meeting, with Alden hugging Kathryn very intimately. Before this dating rumor, many netizens expressed their joy and congratulated Kathryn Bernardo on finding a new love, even praising the “new person” as better than the “old person” – especially when Daniel Padilla was suspected of having an affair while dating Kathryn.
Many fans have been “sailing” the Kathryn Bernardo – Alden Richards couple and calling them KathDen (combining their names) while watching Hello, Love, Goodbye .
However, the “KathDen ship” seems to have not yet docked because a source revealed to the Philippine press that Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards will probably remain friends, because the actress has fallen in love with someone else.

Speaking of Hello, Love, Goodbye , this is the film that held the No. 1 position in the highest-grossing Philippine cinema of all time with 17 million dollars (about 400 billion VND) for many years, until it was surpassed by the film Rewind in 2023.
Not only was it a huge success in the Philippines, the film was also loved when it premiered in some other markets such as Thailand.
In the film, Kathryn and Alden play two young Filipinos who live and work in Hong Kong. In a foreign land, amidst the confusion and ambitions of youth, the two became each other’s light.
They encouraged each other, gave each other warmth, faith, and courage to get through the difficult days of life. But in the end, love could not overcome reality, when their dreams forced them to part ways. At the end of the film, they made an appointment to meet again, so many viewers hoped that Hello, Love, Goodbye would have a sequel.

Philippine media reported that there were reports that a sequel to Hello, Love, Goodbye was planned after its huge success in 2019. However, Kathryn’s current boyfriend Daniel allegedly forbade her from participating.
As a result, a sequel to Hello, Love, Goodbye was not possible.
There were rumors that Daniel was jealous of Alden, he even went to Hong Kong to “check up” on his girlfriend, but told the press that he visited the entire film crew, including the director – who was close to him.
