After months of silence, subtle hints, and fan theories, Janella Salvador has finally confirmed what many have been speculating — she is in a romantic relationship with actress Klea Pineda.

The revelation came during a candid and emotional interview, where Janella opened up about their journey, their decision to finally go public, and the freedom that comes with living authentically.

“We didn’t want to keep lying — not to ourselves, and not to the people who truly love us,” Janella said.


❤️ THE REVEAL: “YES, SHE’S SPECIAL TO ME”

In the now-viral interview, Janella was asked directly if there was truth to the rumors linking her and Klea.

With a smile and visible relief, she answered:

“Yes, she’s special to me. It’s real. And I’m happy.”

She also shared that their connection began with friendship, deepened through shared experiences, and eventually blossomed into something more.

“We never planned for it. It just happened — naturally, quietly, and beautifully.”

“No more hiding. Just two women choosing love and choosing each other. Thank you, Janella, for your courage.”

The post quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of likes and comments, many of which praised their honesty and bravery.


👩‍❤️‍👩 FROM FRIENDSHIP TO SOMETHING MORE

Fans of both stars had long noticed their increasing closeness over the past year:

Constant hangouts, even outside work

Cryptic Instagram captions

Matching outfits and bracelets

Subtle flirting during livestreams and interviews

But the pair had always played coy — until now.

“We weren’t hiding to deceive anyone,” Janella clarified. “We just wanted to be sure. And now we are.”


🧠 WHY THEY CHOSE TO SPEAK UP NOW

According to Janella, they chose to come forward not because of pressure, but because they felt that the time was right — and they wanted to be honest with themselves and their fans.

“We realized how many people are silently struggling with who they love. If we can help someone feel seen by living our truth, then we’ve already made a difference.”


💬 FAN REACTIONS: OVERWHELMING SUPPORT

Social media exploded with reactions ranging from surprise to celebration:

“Janella and Klea? OMG! Power couple!”
“Finally, representation that’s real and raw. Thank you, ladies.”
“You don’t know how many lives you’ve just inspired.”

Hashtags like #JanKlea, #LoveIsLove, and #ProudOfYouJanella trended nationwide within minutes.

Even fellow celebrities showed their love:

🕊️ THEIR MESSAGE TO THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

Both Janella and Klea took the opportunity to share a heartfelt message to others in the LGBTQ+ community who may still be struggling with acceptance:

“You are not alone. You are valid. And you are worthy of love — in all its forms.”

They added that they hope to use their platform to advocate for equality, mental health, and self-love.


🎭 WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE COUPLE?

While they have no plans for a full-blown tell-all yet, the couple says they’re open to working together on-screen, and are even considering co-producing a short film or series about LGBTQ+ love stories in the future.

For now, though, they just want to enjoy this new chapter freely and fearlessly.

“We’re still figuring things out,” Janella said. “But one thing’s for sure — we’re doing it together.”


🏁 FINAL THOUGHTS: LOVE, HONESTY, AND FREEDOM

Janella Salvador and Klea Pineda’s relationship isn’t just a love story.
It’s a story of courage.
Of embracing one’s truth in a world still learning how to accept it.
And of choosing love — not for show, but for self.


Because at the end of the day, love isn’t about labels.
It’s about being seen, being safe, and being loved… just as you are.
