Nadine Lustre appeared to have finally gone Instagram official with her rumored boyfriend, Christophe Bariou, who is speculated to be the one she has been dating for the past months.
While she is yet to confirm if she is indeed in a relationship with Bariou, the actress showed herself with him as they looked into each other’s eyes and posed cheek to cheek. Fireworks can also be seen in the background as they hold glasses of champagne.
Lustre opted not to give further details about the photo, only captioning it with a magician’s wand and hat.
This marks the first time she has posted an apparently explicit photo of herself with Bariou on her Instagram page, although she had earlier shown a beach moment with him and mentioned his name on her page for the first time last November. She had also been showing Instagram Stories with him by late 2021.
Speculations that Lustre is now in a new relationship started after she was reportedly spotted with Bariou in Siargao in early 2021 and seen holding hands with him in October last year. He also appeared to have spent time with the actress’ parents in November 2021.
Fans expressed their happiness for Lustre as they described the photo as the pair finally going “Instagram official.”
“My ChrisDine is Instagram official,” one @cbariou_na_si_nadinelustre said.

Lustre recently spent her Christmas helping in relief operations for typhoon Odette victims in Siargao. She has been working with Bariou and the non-governmental organization Greenpeace Philippines in the initiative.
Bariou is reportedly a founder and managing director of a resort on the island, where Lustre would stay for a few months at a time over the past year. /ra
