Alden Richards has finally addressed his viral interaction with his “Hello, Love, Goodbye” co-star Kathryn Bernardo, where he surprised the actress with a bouquet of red roses at her surprise birthday party.
Richards said Bernardo’s party was meant to be a “post-birthday celebration” with her family and close friends, in a “24 Oras” interview aired on Wednesday, April 10.
“I was invited and siyempre, it was part of her post-birthday celebration with friends and family. Masaya naman. Masaya naman ‘yung naging experience and you can see how happy Kath is right now,” he said, referring to the actress by her nickname.
(I was invited and of course, it was part of her post-birthday celebration with friends and family. It was a happy event. The experience made me happy and you can see how happy Kath is right now.)
The Kapuso star also pointed out that “what you see is what you get,” when asked about netizens rooting for him to take his friendship with Bernardo further.
“Hindi lang din talaga kailangan lagi ipamalita sa social media ‘yung mga ganyan. You know, sometimes ‘yung mga personal things that’s happening, better be personal na lang,” he added.
(You don’t have to be open about everything on social media. You know, sometimes, with the personal things happening in your life, it’s better to be personal.)
Meanwhile, Bernardo has yet to speak up about their interaction as of this writing.
Richards was also among the celebrity guests invited to the “A Very Good Girl” star’s birthday party in El Nido, Palawan, which was also attended by Kakai Bautista, Maymay Entrata and Jericho Rosales, to name a few.
