MANILA, Philippines — Daniel Padilla, a star of Kapamilya, chose to stay out of the spotlight when asked about rumors linking him to his “Incognito” co-star Kaila Estrada. He wanted to keep things private even though more and more people were interested.
MJ Felipe, the host of The Filipino Channel’s “Are You G?” filmed in Korea, asked Daniel if he was seeing someone again. The actor laughed and said, “Kain muna tayo,” in a playful way before giving a more serious answer.
Daniel said, “Don’t put pressure on ourselves, don’t put us in that position, that’s showbiz.” “Lalabas at lalabas, pero ayoko lang na may naghihintay na…” “Let us let things happen.”
He knows that being a public figure makes privacy hard, but he still wants to be able to choose when and how to talk about these things.
When MJ asked Daniel if he was happy, he said thank you and smiled.
“How could I not be happy? We just came from a fun concert, and now I’m in Korea with my family and friends, celebrating life and getting an award from the people who love me, right? So what is the reason to be sad?” he asked.
The actor recently received the Outstanding Asian Star Award at the 2025 Seoul International Drama Awards, marking another milestone in his career.
While Daniel opted not to confirm or deny the dating speculations, fans admired his composed and grounded response showing that, for now, the actor is focused on his craft, loved ones, and enjoying life’s blessings.
