Jak Roberto Addresses Dating Rumors with Kylie Padilla
JAK ROBERTO – The actor has denied rumors that he is courting actress Kylie Padilla, despite fans noticing their undeniable chemistry both on and off screen. The two currently star together in the GMA afternoon drama My Father’s Wife, where their closeness has sparked curiosity and speculation among viewers.
During his guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on October 10, 2025, Jak was directly asked if he was pursuing Kylie. With a smile, he quickly replied, “Hindi po. Hindi po.” He explained that they are simply very comfortable with each other, which often shows on screen, leading fans to create love team names like JakLie and KyJak.
Jak shared that working with Kylie has been a pleasant experience, describing her as open, talented, and easy to work with. He admired her professionalism, saying she has no hesitation when it comes to acting and giving her best in every scene. Beyond work, Jak also appreciates her personality—her intelligence, determination, and passion for discovering new things.
Fans were even more intrigued when Jak revealed he once bought toys for Kylie’s children, Alas and Axl, whom she shares with her estranged husband, Aljur Abrenica. Laughing, Jak explained that the gift was a simple gesture—Kylie was feeling sad before a trip to Australia because she would be away from her kids for two weeks. When she saw some toys at a store, Jak insisted on buying them to cheer her up. At first, Kylie refused, but Jak encouraged her, saying it might make her children happy. Later that night, she told him the kids were already playing soccer with the toys he bought.
When asked if he could ever court Kylie, Jak said she is “hindi siya mahirap mahalin” because of her genuine and intelligent nature. However, he clarified that he values their friendship too much to risk changing it, calling Kylie his first “girl best friend.”
Jak’s last relationship was with actress Barbie Forteza, which ended in January 2025 after seven years. Meanwhile, Kylie has been private about her love life, only admitting she once dated a “Tattoo Guy,” but declined to say if they are still together.
