History

2011–2017: Early years

Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla first appeared together in the 2011 television series Growing Up . Bernardo played the role of high school student Ella, while Padilla played her classmate Patrick. [2] [3] [4]

Bernardo and Padilla's romantic relationship was rumored to have begun on May 25, 2012. [2] However, the pair never explicitly announced a relationship until much later. They would appear in their first primetime series Princess and I , where they played main leads. [5]

Their first feature film together, 24/7 in Love , was released in November 2012. This would be followed by their first top-billed film Must Be... Love in March 2013, and their first Metro Manila Film Festival film Pagpag . [2]

KathNiel were featured in the 2015 film Crazy Beautiful You . In the same year, they began starring in the primetime series Pangako Sa ‘Yo , a remake of the 2000s series of the same name. [2]

In mid-2016, Bernardo and Padilla would say that they are "exclusively dating" each other but refused to publicly give any other label to their relationship. [6] The couple would later share their first on-screen kiss in the film Barcelona: A Love Untold. [7] [2]

2018-2019: Confirmation and hiatus

In August 2018, at the media launch of their film The Hows of Us , the couple officially confirmed it hey have been in a romantic relationship. [8]

Though in the same year, Bernardo said they wanted to do separate projects to advance their own careers independently but not where they would have a different on-screen partner than each other, taking into consideration the sentiment of KathNiel fans. [9] They would mutually decide not take the same projects in both film and television for the following year. [10]

Bernardo starred in the 2019 film Hello, Love, Goodbye alongside Alden Richards, who was part of the AlDub love team with Maine Mendoza. [11] [12] Hello, Love, Goodbye is currently the second highest grossing Filipino film of all time. [13]

2020–23: Return

KathNiel's return was planned to happen in 2020, with both actors signing a new three-year contract with ABS-CBN. [14] This plan was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the revocation of ABS-CBN's franchise. [2] The pandemic also caused the shelving of the supposed KathNiel film After Forever, which was supposed to be set in the United States. [15]

The pair would reunite in the streaming series The House Arrest of Us which was first released in October 2020. [16]

KathNiel posted their first joint vlog in Bernardo's YouTube channel for a Valentine's day video in 2021. [2]

Their last television project together would be the 2022 series 2 Good 2 Be True . [17] [18] They were supposed to return in a film announced in December 2022 to be directed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana. [19]

Dissolution

In early November 2023, talent manager Ogie Diaz claimed on his YouTube channel that an unnamed source told him that Bernardo and Padilla have already broken up. [20] The rumors were received negatively by KathNiel fans, who branded Diaz as a "fake news peddler." [21]

Apparently dispelling the rumors, the two appeared together at an Omega event on November 14 where they danced together. [22]

However, during Bonifacio Day on November 30, Bernardo confirmed the end of her relationship with Padilla through her social media account, mentioning that they parted ways amicably. [23]

Terms associated with the love team were searched heavily according to Google Trends in the Philippines following the confirmation. [24] News of the breakup were also reported in Malaysian [25] and Singaporean news outlets. [26] [27]
