Kapamilya actor Daniel Padilla has broken his silence on the persistent rumors linking him to various women, over a year after his high-profile breakup with actress Kathryn Bernardo.

In a video recently shared on MJ Marfori’s TikTok, Daniel was approached by a reporter who asked how he reacts to fake news and the women allegedly being romantically associated with him.

“Paano ka nagre-react doon sa mga fake news na binabato sa’yo? May mga girls na nali-link sa’yo,” the reporter asked.

Daniel, looking calm and composed, answered bluntly: “Wala na ako pakialam doon, kapatid. Masyadong mababaw para sa’kin.”

The short but striking response quickly gained traction online, with fans praising Daniel for staying unfazed amid ongoing speculation about his personal life.

Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo—collectively known as KathNiel—had been one of the country’s most beloved celebrity couples, both on-screen and off. Their relationship, which began as a teen love team under ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, blossomed into a real-life romance that lasted over a decade. They starred together in numerous hit projects, including The Hows of Us and Barcelona: A Love Untold, capturing the hearts of millions of fans across the globe.

However, in late 2023, the couple confirmed their breakup through separate social media statements, both expressing gratitude for their shared journey and mutual respect. While neither gave specific reasons, both admitted that they had grown apart and wanted to focus on their individual growth.

In the months following their split, Daniel has largely kept a low profile when it comes to dating rumors, although speculative reports continue to swirl around him.

Meanwhile, Kathryn has also been the subject of public curiosity regarding her current love life. Recently, rumors began circulating that she is being romantically linked to a young mayor, with some claiming the two have been spotted together in private gatherings. As of writing, Kathryn has not confirmed or denied the speculation.

Despite the rumors, both Daniel and Kathryn seem focused on their respective careers and personal healing.

Daniel Padilla is an actor and model in the Philippines. He is the son of Karla Estrada and actor Rommel Padilla. Daniel's name gained significant prominence when his love team with Kathryn Bernardo, who became his real-life girlfriend for 11 years, became a major hit with the public.

Last month, Daniel and singer-songwriter JK Labajo’s photo with other celebrities at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 went viral. In the snap, Daniel and JK were seeing posing with Ian Veneracion, Karla Estrada, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Vina Morales. The said stars were all seen beaming as they posed for the heartwarming groufie. It can also be noticed that Daniel seemed to have placed his hand on JK's shoulder.

Meanwhile a couple of months back, Daniel was asked in an interview how it feels for him to venture into doing an action series. While admitting that it's a new experience for him, he said it feels 'fulfilling' when they execute the prepared stunts correctly. It is recalled that romantic comedy or drama were often the themes of his former love team KathNiel's projects with Kathryn Bernardo. Many are eagerly anticipating the release of Incognito, which is reportedly nearing its premiere.
