In a candid revelation on “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” Filipino-Canadian singer and actor Darren Espanto shared details about his past relationship with actress Kyline Alcantara. The young stars, known for their charm and talent in the Philippine entertainment industry, experienced what Espanto described as “puppy love.”
The admission came during a playful exchange on a recent episode of “It’s Showtime,” where hosts and fellow celebrities teased the pair about their past. Espanto and Alcantara, who both found early fame and have numerous fans, were in a relationship for about a year before deciding to part ways due to misunderstandings typical of young love.
“Kasi nga nagging kami dati. Kaya binibiro kami ni Ate Vice,” Espanto explained, referencing the teasing they received from comedian Vice Ganda during the show. The relationship, which started when they were teenagers, ended amicably, allowing them to mature independently and revisit their friendship years later.
“There was some misunderstanding. Kasi siyempre pag mga bata parang konting mga petty na away,” Espanto noted, reflecting on the trivial conflicts that often characterize young relationships. However, he highlighted that over time, and with maturity, they were able to resolve their differences and renew their friendship.
This personal glimpse into their lives was shared amidst playful banter on national television, showing both celebrities in a light-hearted moment, reminiscing about their past together. The segment was warmly received by their fans, appreciating the openness and maturity with which both stars handled their past.
Currently, Espanto remains focused on his music and acting career, maintaining that he is single and emphasizing his friendship with Cassy Legaspi. Meanwhile, Kyline Alcantara is preparing for her role in the upcoming Kapuso adaptation of the Korean drama “Shining Inheritance,” promising more exciting developments in her flourishing career.
