Kasi he's one of my biggest supporters and also my best friend," Dia said. Beyond emotional support, JK also actively contributes to Dia's professional journey. "He really helps me, especially with the music industry, like he helps me with my music and when I need advice," Dia said. She consults him for feedback, asking questions like, "JK, OK ba 'to? Are these lyrics OK?" In response, the "Ere" hitmaker would offer his valuable constructive feedback and suggestions. "He has a different perspective compared to my own," Dia said. Dia has several songs to her name. She recently released the track "Ina," a collaboration with Regine Velasquez. JK hard-launched their relationship in February last year. He was also supportive of Dia's pageant journey.
