Basketball player Kobe Paras denied the rumors that he was dating Kapuso actress Kyline Alcantara despite them being spotted making sweet gestures on several occasions.
In an interview with GMA, Kobe described his relationship with Kyline as ‘friends’ only.
“We are great friends. Bakit girlfriend agad? Nagtanong na ba ako?” said Kobe.
“We are just great friends right now, really close friends,” he added.
He also confirmed the photos circulating on social media where he could be seen holding Kyline’s hands.
It can be recalled that rumors of a possible relationship between Kobe and Kyline started to circulate on social media after they were spotted together in Bonifacio Global City.
Many netizens supported the idea of the two dating together, especially Kylie, who broke up with Mavy Legaspi several months ago.
They also understood why Kobe was careful to talk when it came to Kylie.
“Friends as of the moment para nga naman di iniintriga,” a netizen said.
“Ang sweet pala ni Kobe sa mga friends niya holding hands in the parking lot, kiss sa ulo and very touchy. Sinong niloloko niyo… Hahahha,” another netizen commented.
“Malamang nag-usap yang 2. Alam mo naman sa showbiz pag umamin na iintrigahin naman para maghiwalay. What you see is what you get lang naman yan. Pero ang gwapo at hot ni kobe paras! Pinakagwapo sa lahat sa gala,” a netizen remarked.
