It seems to be a story out of a movie, well, literally.
Remember that Carlo Aquino and Bela Padilla movie “Meet Me in St. Gallen” in 2018? It was a romantic comedy-drama film that talked about chance meetings and the decisions of characters Jesse and Celeste who ended up reuniting in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
The romance in the film is not the only thing that built up though, because it looks like Bela did meet someone in that fated place while they were filming.
“The one I met in St. Gallen,” the actress captioned in an Instagram post that got fans squealing.
A certain Norman Ben Bay is the man in a couple of photos with Bela, with the sun adding to the ambiance of their romance. Even without a direct caption, the pictured gazes and hair stroking are giveaways already on the real score between the two. But it is not like Bela chose secrecy anyway when she and Norman were exchanging kilig responses in the comment section of a previous post anyway.
The night before, Bela uploaded a solo photo of herself in Cappadocia, detailing her feelings for that trip and about the pandemic. However, the credit of the photo was attributed to Norman. It did not seem to be a typical photography credit though with the hashtag and kiss emoji.
To make things clear, “You are truly a professional when it comes to captions,” Norman wrote in the said post, not missing to leave a kiss emoji as well.
“You truly are a professional at making me smile,” Bela responded with a laughing emoji.
While only speculations were formed that night, the latest post is a huge answer to all these question marks.
Bela’s fans are supportive of this romance bloom, especially that the 29-year-old actress’s last known relationship was years ago with Neil Arce, who is now engaged to Angel Locsin. She was also linked to her co-actor Zanjoe Marudo after being his on-screen partner but the two denied any official relationship.
