“I’M VERY, very happy and yes, I’m still single,” Kathryn Bernardo replied when Star Patroller Gretchen Fullido asked her during the red carpet event at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025.
Greta’s question was, “Kathryn, everyone is asking, are you single or taken?”

When Kathryn confirmed that she wasn’t in a relationship, Gretchen immediately added, “The fans have their answer now!”
Meanwhile, curiosity spread among people wondering if Kathryn’s admission was intentional, considering her first crush was named Kenneth Hizon.
In a light-hearted conversation, the judges and hosts of Pilipinas Got Talent — including Kathryn Bernardo, Freddie M. Garcia, Eugene Domingo, Donny Pangilinan, Robi Domingo, and Melai Cantiveros — shared amusing stories about their first-ever crushes. Cantiveros, FMG, and Domingo all revealed that their first crushes were their neighbors. Pangilinan admitted that his first crush was Hollywood actress Natalie Portman, while Robi Domingo confessed to having a crush on Shaina Magdayao during his younger years.
When it was Kathryn Bernardo's turn to reveal her first crush, she made an interesting confession.
“When I have a crush, I avoid talking to them even more. The more you won't feel it, even if you force me, I won’t admit that I like you,” Kathryn shared in the Pilipinas Got Talent episode aired on April 6.
She continued, “My first-ever crush, I was probably in Grade 2 in our province. He was a mestizo.”
Later, she revealed his name. "Okay. His name is Kenneth," she said.
This revelation sparked a frenzy on social media as fans tried to track down the first guy who had captured Kathryn’s heart.
One fan humorously posted on X (formerly Twitter), “So, should I start searching for all the Kennths in Cabanatuan, Kathryn? I’m suddenly curious! How lucky you are, Kenneth, to be the crush of Kathryn Bernardo.”
To their surprise, they found out that he was now a doctor.
Doc Kenneth unexpectedly became an instant celebrity due to Kathryn’s comments.

This reached the attention of Kenneth’s father, Edward Hizon, who reposted a netizen’s post that read, “Kenneth, Kathryn’s first crush from grade 2, you’ve made it,” along with the caption, “Dpa nya nkalimutan bunso q (smiling face emoji).”
Fans had fun as they found a yearbook photo of both Kathryn and Kenneth from Grade 2, and they shared it online. They also discovered that Kenneth, born on March 26, 1996, was a year older than Kathryn.
Fans commented on Doc Kenneth’s Facebook account, jokingly harassing him about Kathryn’s revelation, with one fan suggesting, “Doc, join PGT, any talent, maybe you’ll get the Golden Buzzer like Kath.”
Others commented, “Doc, sorry, you should be checking up on us, but because of Kathryn Bernardo Official, we’re now checking up on you.”
Some even said, “I stalked you because of Kath.”
Another fan said, “Sorry doc, haha, your life just got messed up,” while others commented, “I’m here because of Kath’s crush on you.”
One comment playfully compared Kenneth to Daniel Padilla, saying, “You’re even more handsome than Daniel, eyyy… I’m here because of you.”
