“As much as people don't believe it, ganu'n, e. It came to a point that we call each other twins, kasi ang dami naming similarities.”

Zephanie supported this, emphasizing that their bond was rooted in being best friends. However, the conversation took a more candid turn when Boy Abunda revisited her past statement about a shift in their friendship.

“I guess I'm just gonna be honest, when you're with someone constantly, and you get to know them, parang there's always a chance na you admire the person,” Zephanie admitted.

Pressed further on whether that admiration went beyond friendly feelings, Zephanie acknowledged that having a crush was a natural outcome of their closeness, especially given Michael’s qualities.

Michael, for his part, did not deny experiencing the same.

“Hindi mahirap maging crush si Zeph, I mean, napaka-talented, she's very pretty, so there came a point na obviously, nagka-crush din naman,” he said.

Despite their mutual admiration, both maintained that they chose to remain friends, putting clarity to years of speculation surrounding their former partnership.

Zephanie is a premier singer and "This Generation's Pop Princess." After winning the first Idol Philippines, she transitioned to GMA Network as a mainstay on All-Out Sundays. In March 2026, she stars in the musical drama Born to Shine, continuing her legacy of excellence.
