Kyline Alcantara recently shared an emotional testimony about the pivotal role her friend and "Beauty Empire" co-star, Barbie Forteza, played in helping her navigate a recent period of heartbreak.

Speaking candidly on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on Friday, Kyline became visibly emotional as she recounted Barbie's unwavering support, underscoring the profound bond that has formed between the two talents.

The actress revealed that in the aftermath of her past relationship, her recovery process was significantly bolstered by her family, her faith, and particularly, the steadfast presence of Barbie.

"Si Barbie talaga, iba po talaga siya. Maiiyak ako, kasi iba po talaga si Barbie. She just gave me my confidence back, she made me realize na, 'Ikaw muna mare'.'"

This sentiment highlights Barbie's crucial role in helping Kyline refocus on self-prioritization and emotional well-being.

The depth of their friendship, according to Kyline, transcends their professional collaboration on "Beauty Empire."

She emphasized that her affection for Barbie is genuine and heartfelt, agreeing with host Boy Abunda's observation that their relationship has evolved into one akin to sisters.

The actress fondly recalled how Barbie consistently reminded her to prioritize herself, focus on her own needs, and crucially, ensure she was eating properly, especially when Kyline found herself neglecting meals during her emotional turmoil.

A specific incident stood out in Kyline's memory, solidifying her view of Barbie as a truly exceptional friend.

She recounted a time when Barbie called her, announcing her imminent arrival at Kyline's home with the clear intention of making sure they ate together.

"May one time po tawag siya sa 'kin, 'O mare, papunta na 'ko ha, kakain tayo. 'Di ka kasi kumakain, kain tayo' ganiyan','" Kyline narrated.

Despite Kyline's initial hesitation, citing her house being untidy, Barbie's response was firm and compassionate: "'Wala akong pakielam, gusto lang kitang makita kumain, pupunta ako diyan, usap tayo.'"

This act of genuine care and concern left a lasting impact on Kyline.

"Dun ko na-prove na iba talaga si madame Barbie. That's why I love her, 'yan ang kaibigan talaga, Tito Boy. She has this special place in my heart," Kyline emotionally shared, underscoring the invaluable nature of Forteza's support during a vulnerable time.

In a separate interview with GMA Integrated News' Nelson Canlas, which aired on "24 Oras" on Thursday, Kyline provided an update on her current emotional state.

She reassured her fans and the public that her heart is now "good, it's better now with the help of everyone around me," signifying a significant step forward in her healing journey.

She also took the opportunity to tell her supporters not to worry about her well-being.

Kyline and Barbie are currently co-starring in the GMA Network series "Beauty Empire" alongside Ruffa Gutierrez, which airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9:35 p.m. on GMA Network and is also available for streaming on Viu.

Their strong off-screen bond, as highlighted by Kyline, appears to be a source of strength and comfort, particularly during challenging personal periods.

Kyline Alcantara, who was born on September 3, 2002, is a Filipino actress and singer. The Kapuso star started her career as a child actress after placing in the top ten of the talent search show 'Star Circle Quest.' Kyline played memorable roles in 'Kambal, Karibal' (2017) and 'Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit' (2020). She has also won a Star Award for Television and a Box Office Entertainment Award. Furthermore, she has also been nominated for an Awit Award and Asian Academy Creative Awards.

During that same interview with Tito Boy, Kyline revealed that she chose not to speak publicly about her past breakup with Kobe Paras out of continued respect for him and a personal philosophy of showing grace. Despite their eventual parting due to differing personalities, Alcantara described the relationship as a "beautiful experience" from which she learned crucial lessons, particularly about boundaries and self-respect. Kyline confirmed that any initial bitterness has faded, embracing a pragmatic outlook on uncontrollable circumstances and emphasizing the importance of moving forward in life. She shared a profound perspective on heartbreak, viewing it not just as pain but as an "echo of love" and "privileged grief," signifying that the pain is a testament to having experienced genuine happiness.

She also opened up about the deep pain she felt from personal heartbreak and public judgment in her recent controversies. The Kapuso star said she chose to stay silent and show grace rather than fight back publicly about her private life. Kyline emphasized that being a public figure does not mean she owes the public her personal experiences or emotions. She shared that she leaves everything to God, trusting that He sees and hears what she cannot and will handle what needs to be addressed.
