Kapuso actress Klea Pineda, who rose to fame as the “Ultimate Female Survivor” of StarStruck in 2015, shared her dreams, personal struggles, and recent breakup during her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, saying she remains determined to pursue her goals while embracing her identity and prioritizing self-growth.
Actress Klea Pineda revealed her career goals and confirmed the end of her three-year relationship with Katrice Kierulf during her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda this week.
Nearly a decade since winning StarStruck, Klea Pineda continues to embody the reality show’s mantra, “Dream, Believe, Survive.” The actress revealed in her recent interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that she still holds on to the dreams she set for herself: to be a pilot, an actress, and a beauty queen. While she has already made her mark as an actress and is set to begin flying school soon, she admitted that joining pageantry remains a dream for the future, though not a current priority.
The actress emphasized her faith in God’s timing, saying she remains patient for her “big break” in showbiz. More than her career milestones, Klea described herself as a true survivor, not only in the entertainment industry but also in her personal journey. She admitted that coming out as a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community in 2023 was daunting, fearing it could jeopardize her career. While her revelation earned admiration from many, it also drew criticism, with some saying her choice would hinder her success. Klea, however, said she has learned to ignore negativity and stay true to herself.
On the personal front, Klea confirmed that she and partner Katrice Kierulf have ended their three-year relationship. She stressed that the breakup was mutual, with both choosing to prioritize personal growth. Klea denied speculations of infidelity, saying neither of them was unfaithful. She expressed only good wishes for Kierulf, saying she continues to pray for her happiness.
