What does he think about spontaneity in a relationship?

"I think it's very important. A lot of times people get caught up with planning things because of busy schedules or what not. But I feel like there is an element of surprise with something spontaneous," he said.

Back in September, Kobe and Kyline became part of the fashion show of Filipino designer Chris Nick at New York Fashion Week. In the same month, the actress also celebrated her 22nd birthday in New York.

"I feel like it’s my right to not answer or to answer questions, or to deny nor confirm anything. I don’t need to explain myself din naman po to other people. Whatever they see, that’s what they’re gonna get," she said.

When asked to describe her relationship status with Kobe, the actress replied: "It’s a different feeling po so I don’t know the exact words to describe it. Lumalabas siya through actions and our auras, I guess. So I cannot find the exact words."
