Mavy Legaspi reacts to dating confirmation between Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras
Mavy Legaspi shared his reaction to the news that his ex-girlfriend Kyline Alcantara is now dating Kobe Paras.
"The person's happy. I'm happy," the actor told GMA News. "Let's end the year on a good note na peaceful."
"What's done is done. Also, lahat naman masaya," the 23-year-old star added.
Asked if he's ready to see Alcantara again, Legaspi noted that he's "always been civil."
"At the end of the day, ano, we're all just looking for happiness in our life."
Legaspi even recalled bumping into Alcantara "a couple of times" after their breakup. He noted that they've nodded and smiled at each other. "It's been okay naman," he shared.
According to Legaspi, he's okay with being single at the moment, as he's spending his time working out in the gym. "Ang masasabi ko lang, my heart's happy. That's it," he said.
This comes after Paras confirmed that he and Alcantara are dating in an interview with Cosmo Philippines.
Asked about his biggest crush, the 27-year-old basketball player said, "Kyline Alcantara, because we are dating." He added that he began to have a crush on her "early this year."
Paras and Alcantara fueled dating rumors in May after eagle-eyed social media users noticed their Instagram posts were taken in an identical location. They continued to spark dating rumors in August, when a viral video showed Paras singing Hinahanap-Hanap Kita to Alcantara, who was sitting on his lap. At the time, Alcantara said she doesn't owe the public an explanation about the real score between them.
In September, they were seen together in New York for Fashion Week and to celebrate her 22nd birthday.
Legaspi and Alcantara's past relationship
Legaspi and Alcantara met before signing with GMA Network in 2018 as young talents. They would go on to become a love team. They sparked dating rumors in June 2021. In December of that year, Alcantara didn't want to explicitly put a label on their status, saying what they had was like a friendship with a relationship, something "really our own." Legaspi, meanwhile, was more open, declaring his love for her.
During a visit to South Korea in May 2022, Alcantara, who still wasn't explicitly confirming her relationship with Legaspi, reportedly introduced him as "my boyfriend," even calling him "Love." In a podcast in September of that year, Alcantara said Legaspi waited for two years before they became a couple.
But in June 2023, Alcantara in a new interview pointed out that she and Legaspi weren't a couple, as they were still in the courting stage. Yet she said "Mavy Legaspi" is the name that would be written in her heart. In August of that year, Alcantara and Legaspi's twin sister, Cassy, unfollowed each other on Instagram.
The following November, Legaspi's mother Carmina Villaroel started sharing cryptic posts about her kids. Alcantara was also sharing cryptic quotes, leading social media users to believe that they were throwing shade at each other.
Last August, Alcantara spoke up about her breakup with Legaspi for the first time, saying that in every relationship she had, whether it's romance or work or friendship, she always tries to learn something from the good and bad experiences.
"Right now, I think we should move on from that experience and I will treasure that moment. Kasi siyempre, it made me who I am today with all that happened. I feel grateful that I experienced that po,” she added.
