Alba Baptista is a 25-year-old Portuguese actress who recently starred in a Netflix series titled Warrior Nun. Speculations arose about the two Hollywood stars dating when their flirty comments on each other’s IG posts surfaced through reports.
Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon
Carlo Aquino’s declaration that he and Charlie Dizon are now getting to know each other and that it is possible to take their relationship to the next level was one of the most heated and surprising announcements of the new year.
As they are currently working on a film under Black Sheep Productions titled Love on a Budget, fans are initially unsure about their sweet photos on Charlie’s Instagram during the holidays. In an impromptu interview after Carlo Aquino’s press conference, the actor immediately cleared up the speculation, confirming their dating status. He also shared that they first worked together on a 2020 series titled A Soldier’s Heart and established their friendship during the ASAP U.S. tour in August 2022. They continued to see each other after returning from the States and, until now, valued the deep relationship they built last year.
Lee Jong Suk and IU
The new year brought an unexpected dating announcement for Lee Jong Suk and IU. Following the reports from the Korean celebrity news platform Dispatch, actor Lee Jong Suk’s agency supported the claim by confirming that the two Korean stars are in a beautiful relationship. According to the statement, they progressed from acquaintances to close friends before becoming a couple with a serious commitment to each other.
Just like a modern K-Drama love story, they became good friends while hosting a Korean music show, Inkigayo, way back in August 2012. Since then, Lee Jong Suk has been very public about how close he is with IU and how much he supports her career. He even showed support for IU’s fifth studio album, Lilac, by sharing it on his Instagram Stories.
Eagle-eyed fans started to take hints about the confirmed relationship between the Korean stars after Lee Jong Suk’s award acceptance speech at the MBC Drama Awards mentioned his gratitude to the person whom he had liked for a long time, as that person was the one who helped him find good direction and see the world with a positive outlook.
