Kapamilya actress-singer Janella Salvador is currently trending on social media after being linked to the recent breakup of Kapuso actress Klea Pineda and internet personality Katrice Kierulf.
During her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda last Friday, July 18, 2025, Klea confirmed that her more than three-year same-sex relationship with Katrice has ended. She said they broke up a month ago, describing it as a mutual decision, as they were no longer helping each other grow.
When asked if cheating was involved, Klea firmly denied it.
'Sobrang proud akong sabihin yon na no. Hindi ko kayang gawin yon kay Kat. Kasi masyado kong mahal si Kat… so no,' she said.
Despite the denial of infidelity, online speculation intensified after screenshots went viral showing Katrice liking comments on TikTok and Facebook that implied cheating.
One netizen commented on a TikTok video posted by Katrice on July 19, saying, ''Follow na kita kase wala na yung cheater.'
While Katrice didn't respond, she liked the comment.
Another user directly asked, 'Si Janella S. po ba?'
Katrice liked that comment too, along with another that read, 'Once you like it Katkat, then confirm na si JS nga yung other party.'
One netizen also claimed to have seen Janella and Klea together in Bonifacio Global City the previous week, before news of the breakup surfaced.
Both actresses are part of the upcoming Cinemalaya film Open Endings, along with Jasmine Curtis-Smith and OPM singer Leanne Mamonong.
Janella has been open about her support for the LGBTQIA+ community, which has led to repeated speculation about her sexuality. However, she has never publicly confirmed or denied anything about her orientation.
As of now, Salvador has yet to issue a statement regarding the controversy.
