A development in the months-long speciations about their real score.
On Tuesday, April 28, Kapamilya actress Kaila Estrada stunned her followers and fans on Instagram with one of her stories.
Uploading images that she took during a recent party that she attended, the 30-year-old dropped a rather conspicuous photo of her with the birthday celebrant of that occasion, Daniel Padilla.
In the said image, the two actors, who co-starred in the 2025 action series Incognito, were facing each other closely, with the song Everything Hallelujah of Justin Bieber playing in the background.
Other stills from the event, which were taken and uploaded by other attendees, saw Kaila and Daniel standing beside each other.
The actress even had a selfie with the actor’s mother, Karla Estrada.
The images quickly spread on social media, with many expressing their shock about the images, with some congratulating them for their seeming confirmation of their romantic relationship.
It was during the run of their top-rated action series that rumors first spread about their budding romance.
At that time, no one made any direct comments about the matter. Although, in an interview back in October 2025, Padilla hinted that he is already in a relationship.
Asked whether she already has a new girlfiend, he replied: “Huwag na nating i-pressure ‘yung sarili natin, huwag na nating ilagay sa ganun, i-showbiz pa ‘yun, pero you get my point? Lalabas at lalabas, pero ayoko lang na may naghihintay na alam mo ‘yun, huwag na. Hayaan na nating mangyari ang mga mangyayari.”
He also requested for “them” to not be bothered by the public and told, “Huwag niyo na muna kaming kulitin, just let it be. Hayaan na lang nating mangyari ang mga bagay. And again, ayoko siyang maging showbiz eh. Well ‘di pa rin naman maiiwasan ‘di ba pero may choice pa rin naman ako, ‘di ba?”
