However, KathNiel wasted no time in subtly shutting down the rumor mill. Early this morning, the couple was spotted at the airport, seemingly heading off on a vacation together. A lucky fan who managed to snap a photo with them shared on Twitter, “Super unexpected that I got to see my faves at the airport! Good morning naman! I love you both so much, @bernardokath @imdanielpadilla.” This sweet moment reassured fans that their beloved OTP (one true pairing) remains strong, despite the swirling gossip.

The rumors began after Kathryn and Daniel were asked about their plans for the next five years. Both gave honest answers that raised eyebrows, as they admitted they were open to pursuing solo projects and stepping out of the shadow of their iconic love team. Kathryn shared, “In the next five years, I’ll be 31. Still young, but with different priorities. The love team KathNiel will always be there, but we don’t want to limit ourselves. For example, Deej [Daniel] shouldn’t feel restricted just because of the love team. It’s been 11 years, and I’m excited to see what else he can do.”

Kathryn emphasized that their goal is personal and professional growth, both individually and as a team. She added, “We’ve been so lucky to have fans who allow us to grow, both together and apart. But at this stage, we want to explore projects that challenge us in new ways. If Daniel wants to do something without me, that’s okay. I won’t feel bad about it. We’re growing older, and we want to give our audience something fresh, roles they haven’t seen from us before.”

Her heartfelt words expressed both her gratitude to their fans and her excitement for what the future holds for her and Daniel. Despite their openness to solo ventures, Kathryn made it clear that their bond remains strong. “The love team will always be there. If there’s something for us to do together in the future, it will happen. But for now, it’s important to pursue what we’re passionate about, individually and as a team.”

With their surprise airport sighting and heartfelt messages, KathNiel once again proved that their connection goes beyond rumors. Whether as a love team or individual artists, Kathryn and Daniel continue to inspire their fans with their authenticity, professionalism, and mutual respect. As they embark on this next chapter of their careers and relationship, one thing remains certain: the magic of KathNiel is far from over.
