Soft launch or slip-up? Donny Pangilinan’s answer sends DonBelle fans into a frenzy.
Kilig levels skyrocketed after Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano dropped by “KC After Hours” and delivered a moment that fans are calling their loudest hint yet.
In the podcast, host Karmina Constantino asked Donny whether he had ever “mistaken it for love,” referring to his bond with Belle, whom he described as a teammate and someone he can be fully open and transparent with.
Donny’s answer was short but enough to send the DonBelle fandom into detective mode: “I don’t think it was a mistake.”
KC: Did you MISTAKE IT FOR LOVE at one point?
