Dominic Roque dismissed the dating speculations involving him and Kathryn Bernardo, saying the two of them share a relationship comparable to those of siblings.
The rumors apparently stemmed from the actors’ recent sightings together, including when they had a workout session and visited a clinic together for their facial treatments.
Roque set the record straight by responding to a showbiz page on Facebook, which shared a stitched photo of him and Bernardo with the caption: “Dominic Roque, nanliligaw nga ba kay Kathryn Bernardo?”
Roque replied via the comments section, “Kapatid ko po yan.” He also noted that they are “bros,” then added a white heart emoji.

Roque and Bernardo share a close friendship and were formerly in the same circle of friends with the actress’ ex-boyfriend, actor Daniel Padilla.
Roque and Padilla had a falling out, with the former saying in January that the latter would not be invited to Roque’s now-called off wedding with actress Bea Alonzo. Roque also revealed at the time that he and Padilla hadn’t been in contact since 2020.
Meanwhile, Roque has been making headlines after his breakup with Alonzo.
In a May interview, the actor was asked how he had been the last few months, to which he answered: “I’m OK. I’m happy, actually. Everything is OK.”
