Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras' past relationships
ICYMI, Kyline made headlines in the past for her breakup with ex-boyfriend Mavy Legaspi. Controversies surrounded their breakup, which they did not explicitly announce. The two started hanging out in 2021, owning the love team MavLine.
The couple's split gained traction after Kyline posted cryptic posts that netizens think allude to the reason for their breakup. On November 24, Friday, Kyline tweeted, "I knew it," drawing various reactions from her followers.
Kyline and Mavy never addressed the issues about their broken relationship. Fans somehow just accepted the fact that they can never be together for now in any of their projects.
In more recent news, it was also revealed by singer-actor Darren Espanto that Kyline was his ex-girlfriend, way back when they were younger. In an interview, he admitted that misunderstandings brought their relationship to an end. "There were some misunderstandings. When we both matured, parang six years later, napag-usapan na namin. And ayun po, eventually we became okay with each other again."

Meanwhile, Kobe who has been focusing on his career as an athlete has been quiet about his relationship, except when he and Erika Poturnak launched their sweet relationship online sometime in 2022. Things changed in March 2023, though.
Erika's mom, Ina Raymundo, spilled the beans and confirmed that Erika and Kobe had broken up. The reason? They didn't survive their long-distance relationship. At the time, Erika was already studying in the US, while Kobe has been focusing on his training as a pro basketball player in Japan.
"Kahit na compatible pa sila or hindi compatible, how can you make a relationship work kung nasa East Coast yung isa tapos nasa Asia ka? Pano magwowork yun? Ang hirap talaga ng long-distance relationship," Ina said in an interview with journalist Rose Fabregas.
