Kylie Padilla admits she likes Martin del Rosario; not bothered by rumors about his sexuality

Noong una ay nangingimi pa si Kylie Padilla na sabihin kung sino ang nagugustuhan niyang lalaki na taga-showbiz.

Pero sa pamimilit sa kanya ng ilang press ay inamin din niyang ito ay walang iba kundi si Martin del Rosario, ang kanyang leading man sa GMA-7 afternoon teleserye Buena Familia.

Pero nilinaw ng Kapuso actress na hindi ito nangangahulugang gusto na niyang pumasok sa isang relasyon.

“Close talaga kami ni Martin,” pag-amin ni Kylie.

Taglay raw ni Martin ang hinahanap na katangian ni Kylie sa isang lalaki—ang pagiging matalino.

“Matalino rin si Martin, in fairness sa kanya.”

Nade-develop na ba siya sa kanyang kapareha?

Sagot ni Kylie, “Wala pa ako dun sa point na gusto kong maging tayo na... tingnan natin.”

Tungkol naman sa status ng kanilang relasyon, sabi ng 22-anyos na aktres, “Sobrang walang effort lang. Puwede akong di naka-make up, di nakaayos, pero kumportable pa rin ako.”

Puwede ba niyang maging boyfriend si Martin?

“Maganda 'yon. That’s a foundation. Yun ang gusto natin.”

RUMORS. Ano ang pumipigil sa kanyang pumasok sa isang relasyon, lalo pa’t may nagugustuhan siya ngayon?

“Ako lang,” sagot ni Kylie.

Hindi raw masabi ni Kylie kung nanliligaw ba sa kanya ang binata, pero hindi raw ito importante.

“Para sa akin, friends lang, pero siyempre masaya na. Masaya na kami.”

Ano naman ang nagustuhan niya kay Martin?

“Hindii ba, ang man daw, hindi nagpapakita ng emosyon? Siya, he’s not scared."

Inusisa rin si Kylie kung aware ba siya sa mga isyung kumukuwestiyon sa pagkalalaki ni Martin.

Aniya, “Actually, masaya kami. I’m not thinking, 'Magiging boyfriend ko ‘to.' If ever man na totoo ang mga ganyan, I accept him the way he is. Yun ang totoong magkaibigan."

Pero kung si Kylie raw ang tatanungin, wala siyang nakikitang basehan sa ipinupukol na intriga kay Martin.

Naniniwala siyang lalaki talaga si Martin?

Mabilis na sagot ni Kylie, “Oo.”

Nararamdaman ba niyang may feelings din para sa kanya si Martin?

Sabi ni Kylie, “Di ko alam. Siya tanungin niyo. Feel ko naman na true friend ko siya." -- PEP.ph

One Direction member Harry Styles' comments spark speculation about bisexuality

One Direction band member Harry Styles is no stranger to rumors about being bisexual.

But instead of denying is, Harry seems to just add fuel to the fire with comments in recent interviews.

Last week, Harry and fellow One Direction member Liam Payne sat down for an interview with On Demand Entertainment (ODE), an online entertainment news channel.

When asked what traits they look for in a potential mate, Liam responded first by saying "Female. That's an important trait." Harry then shook his head and said, “Not that important,” and continued listing neutral traits such as "sense of humor" and being "someone who's nice."

Last Sunday, Harry and Payne were also interviewed by United Kingdom tabloid The Sun, with fellow One Direction members Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik.

The boys were joking about setting up Niall for a date. Niall suggested popstar Rihanna while Harry suggested pop princess Ariana Grande. The reporter then suggested that Niall try it with a man, prompting Harry to comment to his bandmate, "Hey, don't knock it 'til you try it."

The comments have gotten people speculating about Harry's sexuality.

But in the past, Harry had addressed the issue, which sprung up from his friendship with DJ Nick Grimshaw.

"Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm not," Harry told British GQ last September.

Harry said he didn't mind the rumors surrounding his sexuality.

"Some of them are funny. Some of them are ridiculous. Some of them are annoying. I don't want to be one of those people that complains about the rumours. I never like it when a celebrity goes on Twitter and says, 'This isn't true!' It is what it is; I tend not to do that. The only time it gets really annoying is that if you get into a relationship and you get into a place where you really like someone and then things are being written in the papers that affect them and how they see you. Then it can get annoying," he said in the same interview. — JST, GMA News
