Filipino celebrity couple, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla have decided to part ways after more than a decade together. The tandem popularly known as Kathniel confirmed the break up after months of speculation from fans.
Kathryn, 27, and Daniel, 28, first worked together in the youth-oriented series Growing Up in 2011. A year later, they were paired in the drama, Princess And I. The success of the TV series led them to become one of the most loved power couples in the Philippines. They started dating in 2012, but went public with their relationship only in 2018. They also co-stared in several movies and telenovelas such as The Promise Remake, The Blood Moon and their last project together, 2 Good 2 Be True in 2022.
Kathryn Bernado was the first to confirm the news through a post on Instagram, saying the relationship was now a closed chapter of her life. "What Deej and I had was real. It was never for show. We were together not because of the cameras, not because of the fans, not because of the money that comes with a successful love team. We were genuinely in love. We grew up together, dreamed together and saw many of those dreams become a reality…"
The former lovebirds did not give a reason for the split but Bernardo admitted they have been drifting apart despite trying their best to work things out.
Daniel Padilla later shared a post writing, "Thank you for dancing with me during my highs, and thank you for singing with me during my lows. Our lives may drift away, but our love will still ride that tide."
