She is on fire. Kathryn Bernardo posted the hottest birthday photos ever—and the Internet went crazy for it. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen unparalleled pics of Kath wearing something sexy, but this definitely looks like her fresh, bold step into adulthood. After all, the actress openly admitted her desire for growth at this time of her life.

That’s a statement she made in a backstage interview with Dyan Castillejo during the recently held BENCH‘s Body of Work fashion show last March 21, 2025. ICYMI, Kath was one of the major head-turners after strutting down the runway with her toned physique.

“I’m just here for growth this year. So sana magtuloy-tuloy siya. And I just wanna be genuinely happy,” the 29-year-old declared.

Over on Instagram, Kath absolutely gagged everyone with a photo of her eating some hot Cheetos in her underwear when in actuality, she’s the hot stuff who ate. Girl, mind you, Kath also posted the first set of her birthday photoshoot at midnight (!) on March 26. We had her in mind before sleeping, FR.

“Welcoming my 29th with a midnight snack,” she captioned, and we nodded—yes, def a snacc, Kath. Friends, family, fans, and everyone else flocked to the comments section to wish her a happy birthday. But if we thought it was the only post she’d make for her bday, we were wrong, LOL.

By noon of March 26 and before the day ended, Kath shared more (emphasis on the more, pls) and made our day. She completed it with six more photos showing off her body in a sultry and classy underwear photoshoot.

We can’t get over Kath’s pose on the bed while wearing a chick sleepwear of some sort. She wrote in the caption, “Woke up as a 29-yr-old.” And then her last post for the day was captioned with a cake emoji—which makes perfect sense if you look at the shots 😉

Kathryn Bernardo opens up on getting ‘lost’ in life

On a serious note, Kath recently opened up about her experience in what we usually call a quarter-life crisis. She’s a 29-year-old woman at the prime of her career, but she’s still a human who doesn’t feel her best at times. And that is totally okay, folks.

During the media conference of the upcoming talent show Pilipinas Got Talent, Kath bared her thoughts about growing up and navigating her life at the moment. Despite the uncertainties, Kath makes it a case to show up and embrace what comes ahead with openness and strength.

“I’m turning 29 in a few days. I’m at the point in my life again wherein I feel so lost. To be honest, I’m so scared, I’m so lost but I think it’s so brave na everyday I show up just like what Donny [Pangilinan] said kanina. I show up and I choose to grow and accept all the uncertainties because I don’t know bigla ko lang siya na-feel,” she shared.

Happy birthday, Kath! May you find genuine happiness always
