Netizens couldn’t hide their excitement after they suspected a romance between ‘Queen of all Media’ Kris Aquino and Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste.
The rumors about the two started to spread on social media after Aquino posted an update about her health one day before Valentine’s Day.
She also mentioned a man, later identified as Leviste, who traveled for 14 hours from the Philippines to the United States to visit Aquino.
Netizens also noticed the caption by Aquino and Leviste in their social media posts with a caption: “Distance is just a test to see how far love can travel.”
However, Aquino clarified that she’s not currently in a relationship with Leviste, and he considered her a ‘friend.’
Leviste posted a sweet message to Aquino, but the television host commented and clarified something to the public and set the record straight that they’re not in a romantic relationship.

“May we clarify-together physically in the same place.. I appreciate all your effort (through the years) BUT please clarify that we agreed the best foundation for any & all relationships is FRIENDSHIP. I know I state with 100% accuracy, you’re my best male friend,” Aquino said.
Several fans of Aquino couldn’t stop themselves from asking if Leviste has been ‘friend zoned’ by Aquino.
Some netizens understood that Aquino might not yet be ready to have a new relationship, especially after her experience with her past partners, and she’s also busy treating her condition.
