Kathryn Bernardo and Alden Richards proved that they have remained good friends even after their “Hello, Love, Again” movie, after they were seen greeting each other and sharing a hug backstage at the “Body of Work” fashion show.

Bernardo, who served as the show’s finale, being the last celebrity to grace the show, was spotted talking to Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz before waving at an approaching Richards. The two actors then hugged and briefly talked before going away with the actor’s hand holding the small of her back, as seen in a clip uploaded by one @ms.anjabad on TikTok on Saturday, March 22.

The “Hello, Love, Again” co-stars, however, didn’t have a chance to interact at the final part of the fashion show, as they were surrounded by Bench founder Ben Chan, as well as multiple celebrities including David Licauco, Kyle Echarri, Ruru Madrid, Bianca Umali, Atasha Muhlach, Andres Muhlach, Lovi Poe, Sunshine Cruz, Joshua Garcia, and SB19.

Bernardo and Richards worked together in the 2019 film “Hello, Love, Goodbye” and its sequel “Hello, Love, Again” five years later. While they admitted that they grew closer behind the scenes, the actors have yet to confirm nor deny if anything romantic developed between them.

Despite this, they have maintained that they have become good friends, with both actors speaking highly of each other’s work ethic and “closeness” on multiple occasions.
