MANILA, Philippines – Benjie Paras has shut down rumors that his son, Kobe, and his girlfriend, Kyline Alcantara, have broken up.
In a Viber interview with PEP.ph published on April 13, Benjie said that Kobe and Kyline are still together.
Speculations of the couple’s split began circulating when social media users noticed that some of their photos together had been deleted from their respective Instagram pages. As of this writing, only their photos and videos from their brand endorsements are still up on their accounts.
Asked why some of their photos together appear to have been taken down, Benjie said he had no idea why.
“Ewan ko sa kanila. Magkasama lang kami, nag-inuman pa, e (I don’t know. We were together, drinking),” Benjie told PEP.ph.
Kyline’s camp also told PEP.ph that she and Kobe are doing okay, adding that they didn’t know why the rumors began circulating.
In November 2024, Kobe confirmed in an interview with Cosmopolitan Philippines that he was dating Kyline. He said he realized he had a crush on her towards the beginning of the year.
Kobe played in the UAAP for the UP Fighting Maroons for one season in 2019, and was part of the Gilas Pilipinas roster in the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers. He eventually went on to pursue a basketball career abroad in April 2021. The 27-year-old also played for the Japanese B. League club Altiri Chiba before he and the team mutually decided to terminate his contract in March 2023.
Kyline, meanwhile, is a 22-year-old actress who has starred in numerous series. She appeared in Annaliza; Kambal, Karibal; Inagaw na Bituin, I Left My Heart in Sorsogon, Wildlflower, and Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit, to name a few. Her most recent project is GMA’s Shining Inheritance.
As of this writing, Kyline and Kobe themselves have yet to speak up on the circulating rumors. – Rappler.com
