I don’t owe any of you that. But if you want a simple explanation, it’s because I GREW UP,” he fiercely said.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0YvPu3RSf2/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A11773685.2%2C%22ls%22%3A10028681.7%2C%22le%22%3A10029298.1%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>He ended his statement with: “I am giving you the consent to send or even POST this to all the remaining Ky*i.”</p><p>Fans then reacted to the actor’s statement, saying that he is very courageous and a gentleman to speak out and defend his special someone, Alexa.</p><p>“I salute you @kdestrada_ (KD Estrada) for having a strong values. Fighting for your loved ones. Thank you for protecting and loving @alexailacad (Alexa Ilacad). She deserves the love and care that you’re giving her. I love you both. God bless. Forever a KDLex fan. Hanggang dulo🤍,” a fan wrote.</p><p>“I understand where KD Estrada is coming from. He resented the bashings to Alexa of the fandom for 2 years. He ignored the bashes directed to him, but he can no longer allow the bashes against Alexa, who he loves, and her family. I support KD on this, wholeheartedly,” another netizen expressed.</p><p>“Tackling these matters head on now is a gift.  Thank you KD for speaking up. You know what you want from this area of life at this time, and you’re ready to speak up for what you need. Don’t let your nerves stop you from saying what you want.  Salute. 🫡,” another fan remarked.</p><p>Although he didn’t mention any names, many concluded he was possibly referring to Anji Salvacion with whom he was previously linked during their stay in the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs10"><em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother</strong></em></a> house for season 10 of the show in 2021.</p><p>Anji and KD already knew each other even before entering the house and they became closer inside. However, Anji rejected him, saying that they had no chance of having any romantic relationship.</p><div><br/></div><div class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"><iframe id="twitter-widget-1" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" style="position:static;visibility:visible;width:526px;height:587px;display:block;flex-grow:1" title="X Post" src="https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1472181487248494592&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aent-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2024-01-12T10%3A37%3A07.883240%3A1743fada-653d-4dc7-b9d1-0ffb9295acd4%26action%3Dedit&amp;sessionId=4dea20b5336f2c0d94df6cb6238033ab396dff94&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px" data-tweet-id="1472181487248494592"></iframe></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8"></script><div><br/></div><p>The actor then started to become closer to fellow PBB alum Alexa, even appearing in a number of projects together.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuY7Xskv9Br/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A11774705.2%2C%22ls%22%3A10028681.7%2C%22le%22%3A10029298.1%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="836" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In 2022, KD addressed, for the first time, speculations about his relationship with Anji.</p><p>“At this point, we are good.
