Andrea Brillantes received a thoughtful gift from Daniel Padilla many years ago
ANDREA BRILLANTES and DANIEL PADILLA – An old photo showing the actress, who was 12 years old at the time, receiving an iPhone from the 20-year-old actor, resurfaced on social media.
The ongoing issue between Daniel and Andrea doesn’t seem to be coming to an end. It started after Ogie Diaz claimed that a source told him that they were secretly seeing each other. The speculations were fueled after Andrea and Kathryn Bernardo unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Eventually, KathNiel announced the end of their 11-year relationship. Andrea kept mum on their breakup until a recent update from four sources of PEP.ph. Accordingly, Andrea confessed to Kathryn about cheating with Daniel. Allegedly, Andrea narrated that she visited the actor’s house in November 2021. During her confession with Kathryn, she also revealed some flirtatious conversations she and Daniel had.
To recall, in past interviews, Andrea openly expressed that Daniel Padilla is her ultimate crush. Recently, her statement about praying to have her own Daniel resurfaced online.
Another rediscovered social media post from Andrea featured photos of her flaunting the iPhone she received from Daniel when she was 12, and he was 20, back in 2015. A netizen reposted this and criticized Daniel’s intentions back then. They questioned the act of a 20-year-old giving an iPhone 6s to a 12-year-old.
This stirred discussions on popular showbiz sites, with netizens expressing polarizing opinions. Some believed it was a form of “grooming,” while others thought Daniel never courted Andrea and that it was just a gift.
Meanwhile, Andrea’s friend Bea Borres previously posted about “grooming.” Some netizens anticipate that this issue will undoubtedly impact Daniel Padilla’s showbiz career. To recall, the actor was booed and called a cheater when he received an award at the Asia Artist Awards 2023.
