Kyle Echarri and Andrea Brillantes’ relationship

Due to their closeness and ~*chemistry*~, netizens have always speculated on the true nature of their relationship. However, both Kyle and Andrea have stated that what they have is purely friendship.

They did, however, on separate occasions, stated that they would be open to exploring their relationship further in the future.

In a previous vlog by Andrea where she played “Date or Pass” with a couple of her friends, she noted that although she would pass on him for now, she is *open* to dating Kyle in the future.

“Pass for now. Pass for now kasi kakabalik lang namin sa isa’t isa. Yung buhay namin, mag-best friends pa lang kami. Pero siguro in the future, ewan ko, I would date him,” she noted.

Kyle also echoed the same sentiments in a recent interview with the press when he was asked if he would be open to dating Andrea.

“Maybe, you’ll never know. Hindi naman ako pwede humindi, hindi pwede umoo. You’ll never know what happens,” he answered. Ooh!

They might not be in a relationship RN, but they did roleplay as each other’s jowa for Andrea’s most recent vlog. Highlights include Kyle surprising Andrea with flowers after picking her up at home, a fun time in a museum where they took lots of couple pics, and Kyle kissing Andrea’s shoulder when she jokingly asked why he “wasn’t” asking her to be his girlfriend. KyDrea fans are truly well-fed!

Anyway, happy birthday to you, Andrea!
