Kylie Padilla has reflected on her struggles with staying in relationships longer than she should, admitting her fear of “failure.”
“I swear I’m not naive, but I want my relationships to last forever, which is probably why I stay longer than I should,” she recently confessed on Threads. “I just don’t want to accept failure. But never force something that has passed its expiry date.”
Padilla also responded to a netizen’s comment, advising her to “stay single” for at least a year before jumping into a new relationship in order to work on the said issues that the actress has shared.
“If you really are single now. I know it’s an unsolicited opinion, but I would have to say it anyway. Challenge yourself to stay single for at least 1 year. It might be impossible for the Aquarius woman like you na walang karelasyon for that long, but it’s better to focus more on your kids and career muna sa 2025 than finding or having a love life. Try to have a strong goal, like winning an acting award this year. Why not, diba? I understand your physical needs, but don’t be in a relationship because of it,” said the netizen.
“Exactly the goal,” the actress replied in a now deleted comment.
