MANILA, Philippines — Actress Kaila Estrada posted photos on April 28, 2026 showing her hugging actor Daniel Padilla during his 31st birthday celebration, as the two continued to draw public attention over reports of a possible romantic relationship.
Estrada shared the images on her Instagram Story, including a photo of her embracing Padilla and a background audio clip of Justin Bieber’s song “Everything Hallelujah.” She also reposted images from the birthday gathering attended by Padilla’s family, including his mother Karla Estrada and his siblings Lella and Magui Ford.
Social media users also circulated an earlier 2012 post from Estrada on X, in which she stated she was not related to Padilla and did not know him personally.
Estrada and Padilla first worked together in the 2025 television action drama “Incognito,” which also featured Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Maris Racal, Baron Geisler and Anthony Jennings.
The pair has been the subject of dating speculation after multiple public appearances together in recent months. In an October 2025 interview with entertainment journalist MJ Felipe, Padilla did not confirm or deny any relationship status and said he preferred to allow developments to happen without public pressure.
