While Alden Richards did not give an outright answer when asked if he’s courting Kathryn Bernardo, he said their friendship is “deep and special” and that the actress knows his “feelings.”

Richards spoke about this during his guesting on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Wednesday, Nov. 13, for the promotion of his and Bernardo’s movie “Hello, Love, Again.”

“Nanliligaw ka ba kay (Are you courting) Kathryn Bernardo?” show host Abunda asked, with the actor initially trying to laugh it off.

Richards then answered, “‘Yung meron po kami ni Kath ngayon (What Kath and I have now), I should say [is] really deep.”

“Since I got the chance to really know her now personally, ang dami ko pong nadi-discover sa kanya (I discovered a lot about her)—our similarities and differences in how we view life,” he continued.

Richards further underscored that he appreciates Bernardo for opening up to him and for welcoming him into her life. He also cherished meeting the actress’ family, saying they treated him warmly.

Abunda then asked Richards if he already informed Bernardo of his “intention as a friend,” and the actor answered affirmatively.

“Opo. Siguro ngayon, ayokong madaliin kung ano man ‘yung pinagdadaanan naming dalawa,” Richards said, opting not to expound on the “intention” the TV host was referring to. (Yes. Maybe for now, I don’t want to rush what the two of us are currently going through.)

“I think she has all the time in the world now that she has been able to try new things,” he added.
