Benjie Paras shuts down Kobe Paras and Kyline break up rumors: “They’re still together, we were just drinking!”

Still, scoring in love? Benjie Paras shoots down rumors about Kobe Paras and Kyline break up, with a drink in hand!

Oh, the IG photos may have mysteriously vanished, but according to King of Rebounds Benjie Paras, his son Kobe hasn’t fumbled this love game just yet!

In an exclusive with PEP.ph, the legendary baller-turned-ultimate #CoolDad confirmed what die-hard Kyline-Kobe shippers were hoping for: “Sila pa rin.” A short message, sealed with a smiley emoji replies from PEP.ph Viber message.

In case you missed it, breakup rumors started brewing when netizens with the sleuthing skills of the NBI noticed that Kobe Paras and Kyline Alcantara had quietly deleted some of their couple pics on Instagram. No more sunset selfies, no more soft launch vibes, only those polished, PR-friendly endorsement shots were left standing.

Naturally, that sent the Marites (Gossiper) Squad into full alert mode. But when asked about the vanishing photos, Benjie kept it chill (as always):

“Ewan ko sa kanila. Magkasama lang kami, nag-inuman pa, e.” It says, I don’t know with them, we were together and had a drink.

No drama here, just a father-son bonding sesh over drinks. 

Meanwhile, Kyline’s camp mirrored the same zero-tea, zero-panic energy, saying that everything’s “okay naman” or they’re okay, between the two, and even they’re scratching their heads over the sudden rumors.

So what’s the real deal? Let’s rewind for a second.

Kobe Paras and Kyline break up rumors verdict

Kobe Paras, 27, known for his basketball stint with the UP Fighting Maroons and Japan’s B.League, confirmed he was dating Kyline in a Cosmopolitan PH interview last November. He even admitted to catching feelings earlier that year. As for Kyline, 22, the queen of dramatic teleseryes like Annaliza, Wildflower, and Shining Inheritance, she’s been thriving in showbiz and apparently, in love.

But like any celeb couple in the public eye, they’re not immune to the online telenovela that is social media speculation.

Some say deleting a couple of photos is the modern breakup announcement. Others argue it’s just spring cleaning. Whatever the reason, Benjie’s lowkey answer would be like, “Y’all are reading too much into Instagram aesthetics.”

And really, who are we to argue with a man who raised two basketball stars and can handle gossip like a pro?

So to those stirring the “breakup” pot, maybe take a sip of water and relax. Kobe and Kyline might just be giving their feed a refresh, not their relationship.

Until the couple speaks up themselves (or posts a new matching outfit pic), we’ll have to take Benjie’s word as gospel.

And let’s be real, this isn’t the first time a celebrity couple cleaned up their IG grids and triggered a full-blown chismis avalanche. In the age of social media, even the tiniest unfollow or archived post is treated like a press release. 

But as Benjie showed, not everything needs decoding. Sometimes a missing photo is just that, a missing photo. And if the couple themselves aren’t making a fuss, maybe we shouldn’t either. Until then, let’s just raise a toast to young love, protective dads, and the art of minding our own feeds.

After all, relationships, especially those in the public eye, don’t always need to follow the IG algorithm to be real. Whether it’s soft launching, hard launching, or stealth dating, what matters most is what happens off-camera, not what’s curated online for clout.

The final verdict? Kobe Paras and Kyline break up rumors are just a rumor and Benjie’s chill dad energy assures it.

So what do you think? Are Kobe and Kyline just going through a digital detox or hiding a plot twist worthy of primetime? Let’s just wait on the development of this rumor further, so stay tuned!
