Alden Richards is unsure if a sequel to “Hello, Love, Goodbye” — which also stars Kathryn Bernardo — is in the works, although he’s hopeful that it will happen soon.

Richards briefly addressed the rumors of a possible sequel to the 2019 hit film during a chance interview with reporters on the sidelines of the Box Office Entertainment Awards in Quezon City last May 12.

“‘Yan ang hindi pa tayo sure (That I’m not sure) but let’s hope for the best,” he said.

Richards was said to be courting Bernardo, per a source of entertainment insider Ogie Diaz, who disclosed the matter back in April. However, the actor merely laughed off the rumors when asked.

The actor and Bernardo have been making headlines for their interactions since the latter’s El Nido birthday party last March, where the actor and Kakai Bautista performed “Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang.” Days later, Richards was then spotted at Bernardo’s surprise party where he gifted her with a bouquet of flowers and a Baccarat gift bag. He was also seen at the actress’ housewarming party in April.

When Richards is asked about the real score of his relationship with Bernardo, he would instead assert that he wanted to “keep things personal” between them.

Both actors, however, remained mum on whether romance is brewing between the two of them.

The 2019 film, which also stars Bautista, Joross Gamboa, Lito Pimentel, and Maymay Entrata, is the second highest-grossing film in the Philippines, toppled only in the box office by “Rewind,” starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes earlier this year.
