Never let a missing ingredient stop your baking — discover reliable swaps for spices, liquids, flours, and more!
Actress Rhaila Tomakin recently addressed the media to deny accusations that she caused the breakup between basketball star Kobe Paras and actress Kyline Alcantara.
Rhaila was identified as the woman holding hands with Kobe Paras in a viral photo captured in Bali, Indonesia, which spread widely last April.
Following the photo's circulation, she faced criticism and was branded as the “third party” in the couple’s split, which sources say happened in early April.
In an interview with PEP.ph at Same But Different Cafe in New Manila, Quezon City, on May 15, 2025, Rhaila was asked about the true nature of her relationship with Kobe.
“Kobe is such a great guy and a very good friend, but that's about it,” she said plainly.
Rhaila acknowledged the ease with which situations can be misunderstood, stating, “Here's the thing, gets ko naman ang mga tao, how easily things could be misunderstood, and I don't wanna invalidate anyone's feelings.”
She referenced the Filipino cultural norm about dating after a breakup: “As a Filipino, we have that three-month rule type of thing,” meaning a period of waiting before starting a new relationship.
Adding humor to her explanation, she joked, “It's 2025, guys, we have same-day delivery now. It's not international shipping anymore.”
“I don't wanna disrespect anyone by saying like their feelings [were] invalid, but, for me, personally, I wasn't really trying to insert myself or hurt anyone's feelings,” she added.
