It was allegedly a one-time meet-up.

Much has been said about Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla‘s controversial breakup. Different allegations have surfaced, including unconfirmed reports of Daniel and Andrea Brillantes‘ secret meet-ups.

However, PEP.ph has reported that trusted sources revealed Andrea came clean to Kathryn. The PEP team released their exclusive story, on Monday, December 18, 2023.

According to PEP.ph, Andrea confessed her one-time secret meeting with Daniel to Kathryn—and she did it in person. Andrea’s revelation was said to be Kathryn’s last straw in her 11-year relationship with Daniel.

Although it was not clear when and why the confession occurred, PEP.ph reported that it was Andrea who reached out to Kathryn. “Pinagbigyan ni Kathryn,” a quote from PEP.ph’s source.

The young celebrity told Kathryn about her “one-time” meetup with Daniel which happened in November 2021. It was said to be during Karla Estrada‘s (Daniel’s mother) birthday, but sources clarified that Karla did not know what happened between Daniel and Andrea.

In 2021, Andrea was only 18 years old, while Daniel was already 26, and Kath was 25.

Not only did Andrea allegedly confess to meeting Daniel behind Kath’s back, but she reportedly shared her conversations with Daniel on her phone. It was mentioned in PEP.ph’s report that Andrea told Daniel there was someone else who knew about their connection.

Allegedly, it was Seth Fedelin who knew about Andrea and Daniel. Moreover, it was said to be one of the reasons why Andrea and Seth broke up. A source told PEP.ph that back in November 2021, Andrea and Seth were at first in a “cool-off” period, until Seth read the exchange of messages between Andrea and Daniel.

According to another trusted source of PEP.ph, Daniel told Andrea to fix the issue with Seth back then, since the latter knew about them. Daniel allegedly texted Andrea, “Ayusin mo ‘yan,” which the Senior High star supposedly showed Kath during her confession.

Despite announcing their breakup on November 30, 2023, sources told PEP.ph that the two A-listers were already parted ways during the ABS-CBN Ball on September 30, 2023. It was also the first time Kath and Daniel walked the red carpet separately. Since the birth of their love team, KathNiel, the two have always walked the red carpet hand-in-hand during the annual event.

Despite the controversial breakup, the two have remained professional towards each other. They made their first public appearance post-breakup during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special on December 13, 2023, where they performed a duet onstage.

On December 14, 2023, the two also attended the Asia Artist Awards 2023. They shared the same table during the event, where they both received their respective AAA Fabulous Awards.

Amid their recent public appearances, some fans cling to the hope that the two might get back together. Speculations about the true status between Kath and Daniel intensified when Daniel removed a part of his breakup post on Instagram.

But, in what seems to be a counterstatement to the “they-are-back-together” rumors, Kath recently posted on Instagram saying, “No looking back, only, moving forward.”
