Ang Mutya ng Section E's Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach are officially dating? Family meeting & romantic b'day wish hint so
Ang Mutya ng Section E is that unexpected drama from 2025 that's set to become a cult classic. With minimal promotions and no major star power, the teen romance won over fans not just for its storyline, but also for the undeniable chemistry between the lead pair, Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach, who played Jay Jay and Keifer in the Philippine series. Their on-screen connection naturally carried over off-screen, visible through several BTS videos and promotional events. Amid ongoing speculation, a new video of the rumoured couple has gone viral—something fans believe may finally confirm their relationship.
Ang Mutya ng Section E couple Ashtine Olviga and Andres Muhlach's relationship confirmed?
A new video has taken over social media, showing Ashtine meeting Andres. While it's not unusual for co-stars to hang out off set, what caught fans' attention was Ashtine's energy around Andres. She was seen jumping with excitement as soon as she saw him before they exchange a warm hug. Not only that, Andres was also seen meeting her family—greeting her parents, siblings, and extended relatives—which many believe proves how close he is to her loved ones, a bond that fans say clearly goes beyond just a professional relationship.
Is Ashtine secretly dropping clues?
But that's not all. In another video, eagle-eyed fans noticed Ashtine's phone case—which had a polaroid of her and Andres together. And if that's not a hint, then we don't know what is!
Fans react to Asthine and Andres subtle hints
As usual, fans of Ang Mutya ng Section E, who have been manifesting their relationship since the drama premiered, became the hype squad for the couple.
One user wrote, 'Internet will goooo crazy if this went real. Just guys, make them admit alreadyyy.'
Another commented, 'WHO ALL ARE SAYING NEGATIVE AND BLAH BLAH THEY ARE NOT DATING, IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED BY THEIR AGENCY!! Yeah, it is not confirmed, we are not stupid, we know that!! But all these interactions are just friendship? We literally have internet, we can see it all?? And plus, I respect their privacy but when they / their friends / their families are shipping them with each other then who are you?? Let the fans be happy!!! At least we are not hating anyone, we're just showing love! So what's the problem when they themselves have no problem? It's my phone, my account, so just scroll.'
'Even though I'm Team Shibin, I'm literally so happy for them! I hope their relationship lasts long,' a third fan wrote.
'The glow in their faces says it all,' noted another.
The birthday wish that was too romantic to ignore
Another nod to their rumoured relationship, at least for fans, was Andres' romantic birthday wish for his Mutya. On May 19, Ashtine celebrated her birthday, and the most special wish—on expected lines—came from Andres.
Sharing a casual photo of Ashtine, he wrote, 'Hi Ash, of course won't let this day pass without greeting you. Happy birthday to my Mutya.' In another post featuring a photo collage, he added, 'Happy birthday, Jay-jay.'
