When love is concerned, Shaina Magdayao’s approach just couldn’t get any more simple: if it comes, it comes. If it happens, it happens. Such is what she said back in April during a press conference for her movie “Single Single” with Matteo Guidicelli when asked about her love life, or lack thereof.
The real score between Magdayao and Piolo Pascual may be a matter up for guesswork to their fans, but in 2017, Pascual shared to Inquirer Bandera that he and Magdayao have been dating exclusively for over five years already. Magdayao, however, stressed in past interviews that they were both free to date whoever they wished to date.
Recently, however, Magdayao took to social media to pay homage to her “genuine friends.” Her Instagram post came after the glamorous ABS-CBN Ball, where she and Pascual showed up separately at the red carpet.
“To constant…ly magical celebrations! Heart is full of gratitude to be blessed with genuine friends around me especially during showbiz events like the ball,” she wrote on Oct. 2. “These souls who make such evenings more beautiful and meaningful.”
Magdayao did not drop any names in her post, but she notably tagged one person in her picture of a bouquet of red roses: Pascual.
“For choosing to re align with wherever I’m at now in my life, and for choosing to stay…”
Magdayao also seemed to be addressing Pascual in her post, calling him her perennial and constant.
“Grateful for all of your presence,” she said. “#mostesptoyoumyperennial. Guess you’re really #myconstant as well. To genuine friends beyond showbiz world.”
It’s clear Magdayao is grateful for her real friends—Pascual included. But are they more than just friends? Like Magdayao, Pascual shared last April that he had no love life to speak of.
“Saka na lang,” Pascual said then during the press conference for “Since I Found You.” “I don’t want it at the moment. There are other things I want to prioritize.”
Pascual added that he saw himself focusing on his career “for the next couple of years.” He also echoed Magdayao’s statement, saying, “If it comes, then good!” /ra
