The mystery behind Kathryn Bernardo’s childhood crush has finally been solved—and the revelation is melting hearts online.
After Kathryn casually mentioned on Pilipinas Got Talent that her very first crush was a boy named “Kenneth” from her grade school days in Cabanatuan, fans launched a full-blown search. They traced her early school years at Flowerlane Montessori Children’s House and soon discovered Kenneth Hizon—a charming young doctor based in Nueva Ecija.
In his first TV interview, Hizon confirmed that the feeling was mutual. “To be honest, she was also my first crush,” he said on Frontline Pilipinas Weekend, remembering Kathryn as a cheerful and bright student. “Of course, she’s beautiful,” he added.
Though initially unsure if he was the Kenneth Kathryn mentioned, Hizon admitted he felt overwhelmed by the sudden attention. “I didn’t want to assume, but it was flattering,” he said.
Now a licensed physician, Hizon said he has no plans of riding on Kathryn’s fame. “I won’t use her name to get famous—we shared memories as kids,” he stated. He also left a sweet message: “Hello, Kath. I hope we can catch up if your schedule allows.”
Kathryn has yet to respond to the viral revelation, but fans are already swooning over this adorable reunion of past-schoolyard crushes.
