Jameson Blake says he and Barbie Forteza are good friends
While the moment sparked speculations, Blake said during the advance screening of his film Flower Girl with Sue Ramirez last June that it's still too early to label their closeness as anything more than friendship.
'We're just friends. It's too early pa. I enjoy my time with her. She's really nice and very professional din,' he said.
Blake shared that they became close in a short span of time and bonded over running events, which has become a new shared hobby for them.
'Mabait talaga siya. We're trying to spend time working out together. Pag may mga runs, we join the run,' he said.
Blake admitted this new friendship feels different as he's not usually seen publicly spending time with someone.
'I'm just happy na I got to meet her, and magandang project din 'yung ginawa namin,' he said, referring to Kontrabida Academy — an upcoming Netflix film they're both starring in alongside Eugene Domingo.

Bea Alonzo confirms relationship with businessman Vincent Co
Actress Bea Alonzo has confirmed that she is in a relationship with supermarket chain heir Vincent Co. In an interview during the 2025 GMA Gala, Alonzo said it's 'very obvious' they're together and added that she is currently 'very happy.' While she acknowledged the public's interest, Alonzo expressed her preference to keep her relationship private. 'I don't want to say people ruin beautiful things, but I think the most beautiful things are the ones kept private,' she explained. Alonzo and Co were previously spotted traveling together to Japan last month for the businessman's 46th birthday. Earlier this year, they sparked dating rumors after social media users noticed they were seemingly vacationing in Spain at the same time. The two have since been seen at several events together, including a private gathering with Heart Evangelista and a birthday video greeting for Sen. Bong Go. Alonzo has joined Co in his supermarket engagements, while Co has appeared at events for Alonzo's travel essentials business.
