For years now, fans have been shipping reel-life lovers Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, and the latter’s subtle confirmation that her leading man is *courting* her indeed sent the DonBelle fans into a frenzy.
However, it looks like there’s trouble in the fandom’s paradise as the internet is currently ablaze with speculations of the actor’s romantic involvement with another girl: artist-influencer Kim Cruz. In a TikTok video, one netizen shared proof that the two have a close relationship with each other, posting a screenshot that Donny follows Kim’s private Instagram account.
Fueling the rumor mill, somebody else commented on Donny’s IG pic that she recently saw the two stars together, much to the dismay of DonBelle fans.
On Twitter, the fandom was clearly unhappy with the speculations, pointing out that Donny’s connection with Kim might just stem from the two’s stint as VJs of music channel MYX.
On her TikTok account, Kim seems to have cleared the air, albeit subtly. She responded to a netizen who asked if she's seeing anyone at the moment. “No, I am not dating anyone,” she cooly replied, coupled with a smiley.
Donny, on his end, has yet to address the rumors.
