Netizens are speculating a brewing romance between Chelsea Manalo and basketball player-model Cole Micek, after the two were frequently seen together and even spotted seemingly holding hands in public.

Several videos showing the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 and Micek spending time together have been shared by onlookers on TikTok.

One of the clips shows the beauty queen taking a photo with a fan while Micek was waiting for her on the side. After the snap was taken, Micek walked toward Manalo and then extended his arm, seemingly aiming to hold her hand. The baller was only seen holding Manalo’s wrist before the video was abruptly cut.

In the comments section, a netizen also shared a clearer photo of the pair apparently taken on the same day. In the photo, Manalo and Micek are all smiles while his arm is on her shoulder.

In another video, Manalo and Micek were spotted standing next to each other, looking at the latter’s phone while in Bonifacio Global City.

Several other videos of the pair’s sightings have also been circulating on the platform, with the comments sections flooded with curious netizens.
