KathNiel, LizQuen, JoshLia, JaDine, and ElNella -- these are some of the top "love teams" ruling TV ratings and the box office today.

On the occasion of Valentine's Day, here's a look at past Kapamilya pairings involving stars who are now popularly identified with their respective love teams:
LIZA SOBERANO AND DANIEL PADILLA
Then a showbiz newcomer, Soberano was paired with Padilla in two major projects -- "Got to Believe" and "Must Be Love" -- to form a love triangle with the young heartthrob and Bernardo, his long-time leading lady.
