In a stunning revelation that sent shockwaves through Philippine showbiz, actress and singer Janella Salvador has confirmed her romantic relationship with actress and beauty queen Klea Pineda, making headlines as she openly shared her love for another woman for the very first time.
The revelation came during an exclusive interview aired on Sunday night, where Janella appeared radiant, calm, and ready to speak her truth.
“Yes,” she said, smiling softly. “We’re together. And I’m happy.”
THE CONFIRMATION THAT SHOCKED AND MOVED FANS
After months of rumors, speculation, and “are-they-or-aren’t-they” online chatter, Janella’s confirmation has finally given fans the answer they’ve been waiting for.
“We started out as friends. We didn’t even expect it,” Janella shared.
“But she was always there. And one day, I realized… I looked at her differently. And she looked back — the same way.”
The moment was met with thunderous applause online, with hashtags like #JanellaAndKlea, #ProudAndInLove, and #JanellaComesOut trending within minutes.
KLEA RESPONDS: “She’s My Peace.”
Klea Pineda, who publicly came out as gay in 2023, also posted her own message on Instagram shortly after the interview aired:
“She was the calm in the middle of my storm.
I never thought I’d fall again — until I met someone brave enough to hold my hand in public.
Janella, thank you for choosing me.”
The post, which included a candid photo of them walking together barefoot on the beach, has already surpassed 500,000 likes and counting.
THE SIGNS WERE THERE ALL ALONG
Eagle-eyed fans had long speculated something deeper was growing between the two after spotting:
Multiple matching tattoos
Intimate photos during a “secret” Palawan getaway
Janella’s recent statements about “redefining love” and “no longer boxing herself in”
Still, many were surprised — and moved — that Janella, once romantically linked to male celebrities, had the courage to reveal her new truth.
FANS AND CELEBS RALLY IN SUPPORT
Reactions flooded social media, with fans praising the couple for their authenticity, bravery, and love.
“Love is love! Janella and Klea, you are showing us what real courage looks like.”
“From onscreen to real-life soulmates — we’re here for it!”
Even fellow celebrities sent their love:
Vice Ganda: “YES TO LOVE! YES TO TRUTH! You have my full support mga teh!”
Maja Salvador: “Janella, I’m so proud of you. Happiness looks so good on you.”
Zanjoe Marudo: “Kung saan ka masaya, doon kami. Saludo, Janella.”
JANELLA: “I Didn’t Expect to Fall for a Woman.”
During her interview, Janella admitted she never imagined this chapter of her life.
“I’ve always dated guys. That’s what I knew. But love doesn’t always come wrapped in the box you expected.
Klea made me feel seen — and safe. I didn’t plan this, but my heart chose her.”
She also revealed that her family initially had questions, but eventually offered full support.
“My mom said, ‘Are you sure?’ And I said, ‘Yes. With her, I feel at home.’ Then she hugged me.”
WHAT’S NEXT FOR #KleaNella?
While both stars are taking things slowly, they’ve hinted at working on a new joint project that involves mental health, advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth, and possibly even a mini-series.
“We want to use our platform not just to entertain, but to inspire,” Klea shared.
Their story is now being hailed as a turning point for representation in Philippine mainstream media, especially with two established female stars at the center of the narrative.
FINAL THOUGHTS: BRAVERY IN BLOOM

And for countless young fans watching from the sidelines, wondering if their own love stories are valid — the answer now echoes louder than ever:

You can be true.
