Xian Lim posts throwback photo of his first date with Kim Chiu

On Tuesday, October 8, Xian Lim recalled an early moment of his relationship with Kim Chiu by posting a throwback photo on Instagram of their first date.

The photos were taken during their first island trip together back in 2012.

 

 

Based on his post, Xian has been dating Kim for seven years now. However, it was only late last year when the latter finally admitted her relationship with the actor-singer following many years of speculation of what is their real score.

The actress-host disclosed the relationship in an episode of the late-night talk show Tonight With Boy Abunda. She, however, clarified that despite being in a happy relationship, they have yet to consider marriage in the near future.

It was a collage of photos from what appears to be a scuba diving trip way back in 2012.

“First date 2012 @chinitaprincess, nagkakahiyaan pa,” read Xian’s caption, with a ton of wacky emojis.

They looked totally adorbs together, with Xian casting a sidelong glance at Kim, and the two of them shyly posing together for a photo. Too nakakakilig for words!Kim reacted to the photo, saying, “Oh em g!!!!! Hahahaha” with sheepish-looking emojis.

 

Kim and Xian first confirmed that they were exclusively dating in a 2013 episode of then talk show, Kris TV. 

They’ve been paired in several TV shows and movies already, from My Binondo Girl in 2011; Ina, Kapatid, Anak in 2012; to more recent projects like their upcoming reunion teleserye Love Thy Woman this 2019.

They’ve also been known to post touching birthday messages for each other and they’ve even gone on vacations together.

In a January 2019 guesting on Tonight With Boy Abunda, Xian explained why it took years before they finally confirmed their relationship. It was mainly because they didn’t want to come out as a couple while they were working together so that fans wouldn’t think they were just pretending to be an item because of a project.
