Kapamilya superstar Kathryn Bernardo and Kapuso heartthrob David Licauco sent netizens into a frenzy after being spotted together at the recent Bench ‘Body of Work’ fashion show, held as part of the brand’s high-profile runway series.

David, who walked the runway alongside other Bench endorsers, posted a series of photos on Instagram, one of which featured him standing beside Kathryn. It didn’t take long before comments flooded in, with netizens gushing over their visual pairing and calling for a future collaboration.

Aside from social media reactions, a viral video showed David noticeably smiling and stealing glances at Kathryn during the event. At one point, he was seen greeting the actress with a soft “hi,” followed by a warm exchange of eye contact. Fans quickly noticed the actor’s starstruck demeanor.

David has previously admitted to being a fan of Kathryn. Back in March 2024, the two were seated next to each other at Bench Fashion Week, where David shared his admiration for the actress and expressed his openness to working with her on a project.

Despite being from different networks, fans are now calling on both GMA Network and ABS-CBN to consider casting them together—perhaps under the newly formed KathVid tandem.

In addition to Kathryn and David, other stars who graced the ‘Body of Work’ runway included Alden Richards, Michelle Dee, Max Collins, Bianca Umali, Ruru Madrid, and EA Guzman.

As the internet continues to root for this unexpected pairing, it remains to be seen whether producers will take the hint and give fans the Kathryn-David project they’re now dreaming of.
