MANILA — Actresses Janella Salvador and Klea Pineda once again stirred dating rumors after photos of them together went viral online.

On her X account, Janella shared affectionate photos with Klea and fellow Cinemalaya co-star Jasmine Curtis-Smith, taken during the promotion of their film “Open Endings.”

“Ugh fine I’ll stop gatekeeping these photos,” Janella wrote in the caption, tagging Jasmine’s account.

Klea quickly responded by posting her own set of photos showing her and Janella hugging and teasing a kiss on the cheek.

“Sige na nga ako din,” Klea said in her post. Janella reposted the photos with the caption, “ay sus inunahan ako.”

The exchange drew renewed attention from fans, who recalled speculations that Janella was involved in Klea’s breakup with her ex-girlfriend, Katrice Kierulf—a claim Janella had earlier denied.

“Para lang maging klaro, sabi ko po magsasalita ako at the right time. Ito na ‘yun. Hindi po ako part ng breakup. Hindi po ako third party. I’d like to exclude myself from that,” Janella previously said.

When asked about her relationship with Klea, Janella said, “And ayun lang. Kung ano nakikita niyo ngayon, ‘yun na ‘yun. Nakikita niyo naman kung gaano ako kasaya.”
