“Time is the ultimate truth teller”. This phrase was first used by Bea Alonzo, who also had a sensational breakup with Gerald Anderson. Later on, it was used by Ricci Rivero, Andrea Brillante’s ex-boyfriend, after a bitter end to their relationship. But, it’s real that time will reveal the truth and it has happened multiple times. After the end of the phenomenal love team KathNiel left fans devastated, some tried investigating and looked back in the past months. Surprisingly, another celebrity involved left some crumbs and the netizens were quick to notice. Here are five times Andrea Brillantes and Daniel Padilla gave it away online.

5. Andrea heavily crushing on Daniel

In one of the interviews with Boy Abunda, Kyle Echarri revealed that Seth Fedelin (Andrea’s boyfriend at the time) was growing jealous of Daniel and Andrea’s closeness. We’re just going to leave it at that.

4. Andrea and Daniel during the FIBA World Cup

Daniel has always been a huge basketball fan. With the 2023 FIBA World Cup being co-hosted in the Philippines, it’s not unusual for the Too Good To Be True actor to be in attendance. However, netizens were quick to point out that DJ was in fact not with Kathryn Bernardo. The internet even had a field day after the controversial Andrea was with him, although they were in a group alongside Kyle Echarri and Maja Salvador.

It does seem innocent, however, the World Cup took place back in August 2023, and according to the revelation by Xian Gaza, Daniel and Kath have been separated for many months now.

3. Rumors spreading that Andrea Brillantes and Daniel Padilla are secretly meeting each other

Philippine showbiz and entertainment reporter, Ogie Diaz, made crashing waves online earlier in November after spreading rumors that Daniel and Andrea Brillantes were secretly meeting in the latter’s condominium unit. Unfortunately, this wasn’t received positively by fans of KathNiel and Blythe as they deemed it to be detrimental to the celebrities’ reputations. Ogie was even dubbed as a “fake news peddler” and people were criticizing him for letting out false information.

May naibalita lang kami na sinabi naman namin na di pa confirmed at sana di totoo, fake news peddler na raw kami. So pag tama ba kami, sasabitan nyo kami ng medalya?

However, a couple of weeks later, after Kath Bernardo confirmed her breakup with Daniel Padilla, Xian Gaza followed it up by confirming that Daniel and Andrea’s alleged controversial rendezvous was true, although he did not have proof to show people yet.

One photo that’s circulating on the internet now is a captured photo of Andrea and Daniel allegedly holding hands in public. However, some fans believe this picture is edited and should not be taken as an actual proof. Regardless, it does show that they’ve been very close friends for many years now.

1. The controversial Spain photo

Ah, yes, the “coincidental” Spain photo that piqued the interest of online gossipers.

There are actually many stories and theories being spread on social media regarding Andrea’s visit to Toledo, Spain, which happens to be very similar to Deej’s pictorial in the same area. However, they uploaded their pictures on Instagram with a 5-month gap.
