The internet is buzzing with speculation after singer-songwriter TJ Monterde was allegedly caught making cryptic remarks about the rumored romance between Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino — and now, fans are wondering:
Does TJ know something we don’t?

Known for staying away from showbiz drama and focusing on his music and wife KZ Tandingan, TJ is not the type to stir the pot — but a few unexpected comments in a recent livestream have viewers raising eyebrows.

“Alam n’yo, minsan yung mga hindi inaamin, sila talaga ‘yung totoong meron,” TJ said with a smirk that fans say was “too telling to ignore.”

👀 What Did TJ Say Exactly?

During a relaxed Instagram Live session, TJ was asked about celebrity couples and was caught teasing something “obvious but unspoken” about Kim and Paulo. Although he didn’t name names directly, viewers quickly connected the dots:

“Kung saan madalas magkasama sa taping, doon din kadalasang nagkaka-develop-an.”

Fans in the comments immediately blew up the chat:

“Is he talking about Kim and Paulo?!”

“Grabe! Huli pero di kulong?”

“TJ just exposed them without naming them!”

🔥 Kim & Paulo: The Chemistry That Won’t Quit

Now with TJ’s indirect confirmation, fans are more convinced than ever that something real is happening behind the scenes.

After realizing his words were going viral, TJ laughed it off, posting:

“Wala akong sinabi ha! Baka ma-KZ ako neto 😅”

Still, the damage — or the reveal — was done. Viewers believe TJ knows something “insider-level” through mutual friends in the industry or from KZ’s own network.

“Artists talk. Don’t tell us TJ’s just guessing,” said one fan on X.

One thing’s for sure:
The fans are watching. The clues are adding up. And TJ just might’ve said more than he intended.

Paulo Avelino ‘takes a step’ at Kim Chiu: I hope she felt safe with meKapamilya actor Paulo Avelino will never get used to doing love scenes and kissing in front of the cameras.

To this day, KimPau fans still can’t get over the viral and trending love scene between him and Kim Chiu in an episode of their series “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?” The rumored couple’s bed scene was really talked about and celebrated after the episode aired and almost everyone said that their acting in bed was very natural and realistic.

Kim admitted that what she and Paulo did in “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” was no joke, “It was hard, I think that was the most intense thing I’ve done in my entire career.”

But he really put in the energy for the scene, “Paulo has been in the industry for a long time so we didn’t want to burden the set or anybody, we just did what we have to do. We as actors are what we do.”

In an interview with ABS-CBN with Pau, he said they followed all the instructions and instructions of their director, Chad Vidanes.

“We followed the directions of our director. It was a bit awkward at first but we rehearsed the moments, how we blocked and I think we did it,” Paulo said. The actor said he can’t get used to doing intimate scenes in teleseryes and movies because it’s really hard to do love scenes and kissing scenes.

“I always feel awkward in those kinds of scenes, so I try to make the environment as comfortable and as safe as possible,” said the Kapamilya leading man.

“Kim has been in the industry for a long time, but I think our actors never got used to those kinds of scenes. But I hope she felt safe and I hope she was comfortable with me,” he said.

What was his reaction to the comments from viewers that his and Kim’s intimate scenes seemed effortless, which made their fans so excited?

“That’s really the magic of cinema or acting. That’s the biggest hurdle for me, how we do the scenes as natural as possible,” Pau said.

And what did he say to those who commented that he “stepped on” Kim, “We’re just following the original actors in the scene.” “I’m not sure if there are more of them, but we’re just following what’s in the script and our director,” he said.
