THE TRUTH REVEALED: Why Benjie Paras Has Remained Silent on Kobe and Kyline’s Breakup

Manila, Philippines – May 5, 2025 — While the internet continues to buzz with speculation over the breakup between Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras, many fans are wondering: Why has Benjie Paras — Kobe’s father — remained so quiet?

Sources close to the former basketball superstar and actor have finally revealed the real reason behind Benjie’s silence: he’s choosing peace over publicity — and protection over pressure.

Choosing Silence with Purpose

According to a family insider, Benjie Paras has deliberately chosen not to comment on his son’s personal issues out of respect for boundaries and a deep understanding of the emotional toll that public scrutiny can bring.

“Benjie is not being silent because he doesn’t care,” the source clarified. “He’s quiet because he doesn’t want to fuel the fire. He knows this is between Kobe and Kyline. He supports his son privately, but he refuses to feed the drama.”

This is in line with Benjie’s reputation over the years as a low-profile but wise father, one who rarely interferes in his children’s love lives unless absolutely necessary.

Privately Protective, Publicly Neutral

Sources close to the Paras family say Benjie has been privately advising Kobe behind the scenes, encouraging him to take accountability, learn from the situation, and move forward respectfully — regardless of how things ended with Kyline.

“Benjie told Kobe: ‘You don’t have to win the internet. You just have to become a better man.’”

Meanwhile, Benjie is also said to have great respect for Kyline, who spent significant time with the Paras family during the height of her relationship with Kobe.

“He never had a bad word to say about Kyline. In fact, he appreciated how she grounded Kobe in many ways,” a family friend shared.

A Father Who’s Seen It All

Benjie Paras, having navigated his own share of public highs and lows — from basketball fame to showbiz, to family controversies — reportedly believes that silence can sometimes be the most powerful response.

“He knows how fast public opinion can shift. He wants to stay grounded, not get dragged into emotional headlines.”

Fans React with Mixed Emotions

Fans have expressed both understanding and frustration online. Some are disappointed that Benjie hasn’t “defended” his son more vocally, while others admire his mature approach:

“Benjie is showing how a real father handles things — not with noise, but with guidance,” one netizen commented.
“We don’t need another parent clapping back online. Silence doesn’t mean absence.”

What’s Next for Kobe and Kyline?

Neither Kobe Paras nor Kyline Alcantara has given a full public statement about the reason for their split. However, both have posted subtle, emotionally charged content on social media, hinting at heartbreak, lessons, and new beginnings.

Whether or not they eventually speak out, it’s clear that Benjie Paras is standing on the sidelines — not out of indifference, but out of love. Sometimes, the strongest support is the quietest one.
