LOOK: Andrea Brillantes shares cozy photo with rumored non-showbiz boyfriend
It seems like Andrea Brillantes just soft-launched her non-showbiz boyfriend.
In her Christmas and New Year photo recap, the 22-year-old actress and entrepreneur shared pictures with friends, including one of herself hugging a man, tagged as Franchesko Juan “Pankie” Capistrano.
Capistrano also left a comment on the post with three red heart emojis.
Before this, he posted a photo of them on his Instagram Story on Thursday, Jan. 1, during the New Year's countdown in Bonifacio Global City, accompanied by the song I Love You Secretly.
He also shared another photo from NYE with his family in a separate Instagram Story.
It also seems that their relationship has earned his family’s approval. Eagle-eyed social media users have spotted several photos of Andrea and Pankie with his family, including a group picture in front of a Christmas tree and snapshots from a pickleball outing.
Brillantes and Capistrano's mom even joined a trending Chanel dance on TikTok.
