She admitted that she already knew Fumiya from his online videos and even praised him for always making her laugh.
Kate said they quickly became friends despite the language barrier. For Fumiya, however, it was love at first sight.
He explained that even without many words exchanged, he could already feel that Kate was kind-hearted.
Kate also admitted that she found Fumiya cute and handsome in person.
Kate recalled watching him back when he was still in Pinoy Big Brother and said she was surprised to see that he looked even more attractive up close.
Since Japanese men are not usually open about courtship, Fumiya chose to spend time with Kate by asking her out.
Eventually, he directly confessed his feelings for her, and just a month later, he told her he loved her.
Their bond grew stronger when Kate visited Japan and met Fumiya’s family, where she saw how close he was to them.

Fumiya Sankai was already known as a vlogger before he joined "Pinoy Big Brother: Otso," where he met his close friend Yamyam Gucong. He is a Japanese national who developed an interest in Filipino content, which earned him a large following from Filipinos even before he entered the entertainment industry.
In a previous report by KAMI, Kate Valdez admitted that their Disneyland trip was a gift from Fumiya Sankai. She said she feels at ease whenever she is with him. Kate also shared that they enjoy each other’s presence and confessed that she fell in love with Fumiya, expressing her gratitude for his support.
It can be recalled that many people worried about the former PBB housemate after he revealed that he had to undergo surgery to improve his health. Even Yamyam became concerned and prayed for a successful operation for his close friend, whom he calls his spiritual brother.
