Looking back to their 2019 blockbuster hit, “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” he admitted that he was surprised about the public’s response to their pairing, known as KathDen.

I was actually surprised (with) how people reacted to (us),” he stated. “I don’t want to be the first person to say a lot of things about it, but I’m glad that it’s being received well.”

Alden also revealed that they remained good friends after working together on the film, “The friendship never ended. Naging solid din talaga yung samahan naming lahat (when we were filming) [Our bond with the team has grown stronger]. And right now, I’m just quite overwhelmed.”

Without directly addressing their relationship status, he emphasized that he preferred to keep it personal. 

“Whatever is happening between Kath and I, I really want it to be personal,” he reiterated.

In an interview with “24 Oras” in April, the “Asia’s Multimedia Star”  was asked about the real score between them, to which he responded, “What you see is what you get.”

“Hindi lang din talaga kailangan lagi ipamalita sa social media yung mga ganyan. You know, sometimes yung mga personal things that’s happening, better be personal na lang [It’s not necessary to announce things like that on social media. You know, sometimes those personal things that’s happening would be better to keep personal],” he added.

Alden and Kathryn sparked dating rumors in March after being seen at the latter’s 28th birthday celebration and house blessing. Their videos together on the said occasions even circulated on social media, and the actor was spotted giving a bouquet of flowers to his “Hello, Love, Goodbye” co-star, which fueled the speculation.
