Actress Kathryn Bernardo recently suggested that Alden Richards is likely to settle down before she does, adding fuel to ongoing speculation about their relationship. During a playful “who is most likely” challenge, Bernardo commented that Richards, at 33, might get married first because he wants to start a family.

The on-screen partners, who starred in the hit movie Hello, Love, Goodbye, exchanged playful banter during the game. When asked who would marry first, both initially pointed to each other. Bernardo quickly clarified, saying, “Ayoko pa, Tisoy,” using Richards’ nickname and implying she isn’t ready for marriage yet.

Kathryn Not Ready, but Alden Hints at Future Plans

Bernardo elaborated, “Feeling ko si Tisoy, kasi 33 na tapos gusto na magka-baby ni Tisoy. Go mo na ‘yan.” (“I think it’s going to be Tisoy because he’s 33 and wants a baby already, so go for it.”) Richards laughed and responded, “Go na natin, sige ako na lang,” playfully accepting the possibility.

In a separate interview, Bernardo, who is 28, shared with talk show host Boy Abunda that she envisions marriage at 34. Fresh from a year of self-reflection following her breakup with Daniel Padilla, Bernardo also hinted at being open to love again. However, despite ongoing dating rumors, neither Bernardo nor Richards has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship.
