The Most Kilig First Kiss Stories Of Celebrity Couples
Ellen Adarna and Derek Ramsay: A Funny Tooth Collision
Back in 2021, Ellen and Derek spilled the beans on how their super awkward first kiss took place.
Ellen said she initiated their first kiss because she really “wanted to kiss him because he dropped me home.”
"So ito na iki-kiss ko na siya...Bigla akong natawa, parang pinagtatawanan ko ang sarili ko na parang sh*t ang tagal kong iniisip, parang oh my god. So diniretso ko na siya..."
"She hit me with her teeth!" Derek exclaimed. "Hinead-butt niya ako. And then she just opened the door, tapos lumabas na siya papunta sa bahay niya. And like ako, talagang tulala na parang, oh my god."
Ellen said she walked away, thinking, "Oh my god, that was so bad. Run, run, run away!" Meanwhile, Derek drove home and contemplated: "Whoa, ang ganda ganda niya pero she can't kiss, e that's like my favorite thing. She can't kiss...It was so bad na parang, it really disturbed me. Sabi ko, 'pero I like her so much.'”
Looks like the kiss wasn’t a deal-breaker because the two eventually got married!

Megan Young and Mikael Daez: A Bar Encounter
The longtime celebrity couple did it while in a bar!
Megan explained, "Fofo [Mikael] and I met in a bar for work. We had an event there...but it was also one of the places that we would go to because when Fofo was modeling, he would get model discounts [from] certain bars. So I would always see him out, and my friends knew him from high school, so they were always like, 'Megan, talk to Mikael.'"
"For some reason, we were with our friends but for some reason, all of our friends, biglang nawala. And it was just both of us by the bar..."
Mikael said, "talking to one another, sipping on our fuzzy water...and one thing led to another. As we were talking, we were going closer and closer and closer together, and that talking led to our first blank," to which Megan replied, "Momol!"

It was a quick, stolen first kiss for this iconic reel to real couple. Back in 2018, Kathryn recalled how they did it while her mom had to pick up something.
"First kiss [was] super quick. No'ng tumalikod si Mommy, [nasa] Kamuning [Quezon City] pa kami. Sabi ko, '''Yon na yong first? Hindi 'yon yong in-imagine ko!' Pero 'yan. Super quick. Si Mama nando'n. 'Tapos parang tumalikod lang po siya, may kinuha siya or something."
In a separate interview, also with Boy Abunda, Daniel said the actual moment made him nervous because Kathryn's mom was present. Referring to Kathryn, Daniel said, "Siya kasi ku-miss sa akin, Tito Boy." Surely, the thrill of being caught was definitely one for the books!
