KIM CHIU – Chinita Princess Kim Chiu shared a cute candid photo with fellow actor Paulo Avelino.

Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino collaborated in the drama “Linlang” before their involvement in the romantic comedy series “Secretary Kim,” which is based on the popular K-drama featuring Park Seo-Joon and Park Min-young.

Their onscreen chemistry led to speculation about a potential romance, though neither has explicitly addressed these rumors. Nevertheless, they have expressed appreciation for each other publicly.

In a previous article, It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda said Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino are “masaya.” Self-confessed KimPau fan Ogie Diaz said he hopes or anticipates that they will be a couple in real life.

However, in an episode of Ogie’s Showbiz Update vlog, the showbiz reporter revealed that Kim and Paulo are not a couple.

“Sa totoo lang, hindi pa po sila,” stated the talent manager-vlogger in response to fans inquiring about the relationship status of Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino.

Additionally, Ogie relayed information from the production staff of WWWSK, noting that they observed a decrease in the affection between the lead stars. However, Ogie emphasized that Kim and Paulo were still amicable on set, but the possibility of romantic pursuit seemed unlikely.

Kim Chiu caused a stir among netizens when she recently shared a candid snapshot featuring herself and Paulo Avelino on her social media platform. On Wednesday, April 24, Kim took to her Instagram account, @chinitaprincess, to repost a picture taken by @mrdavidmilan of her and Paulo backstage.

Both donning white tops, the duo appeared incredibly endearing and charming in the candid photo, with Kim shooting a comical expression in Paulo’s direction.

Kim then responded to the image with a playful remark, exclaiming, “Huli cam?!” accompanied by a laughing-crying emoji and a camera emoji.
