Magkapit-bahay kami tapos naging mag-best friend kami tapos nag share kami ng bond hanggang sa nagka-developan. Pero pareho kaming in denial for a long time. Hindi naman pinush na maging into a relationship kasi ayaw namin masira yung friendship,” the young actress recalled.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2AetAXJyvy/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A2009676.6000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A1931617.2000000179%2C%22le%22%3A1932107.900000006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" 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><p>Xyriel also noted how her boyfriend saw her journey from her earlier years in show business up until her return from a long hiatus.</p><p>“Simula po noong lumipat kami sa subdivision na yun, mga 2 or 3 ako lumipat doon tapos nandoon na po sila. Mas nauna po silang tumira doon sa subdivison na yun, so, matagal na po (kaming magkakilala). Magkapit-bahay po talaga kami. Nawitness niya yung talagang araw-araw pa akong napunta sa taping hanggang sa araw-araw ako napasok ng school na lang hanggang sa ngayon, siya na iyong sumasama sa akin sa work,” she stated.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/6/2/xyriel-manabat-introduces-boyfriend-on-social-media-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Xyriel Manabat introduces boyfriend on social media</u></strong></a></div><p>Having the foundation of friendship, the young actress also shared how they took the risk of leveling up their relationship.</p><p>“Nagtanong po siya if pwede manligaw. It’s awkward kasi yung una hindi namin alam kung magiging sweet ba kami sa isa’t isa or as is na parang magbest friend. Parang hindi kami sanay ng may call sign, hindi kami sana na mag-I love you sa isa’t isa. Parang ang awkward noong una. Sobrang tagal bago mawala yung awkwardness and ilangan,” Xyriel revealed.</p><p>Xyriel and her non-showbiz boyfriend are now in their second year of dating. </p><p>When asked how her boyfriend thinks of her return to the industry, Xyriel shared how he showed support for her.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C3VilYKyH9W/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1979770%2C%22ls%22%3A1931617.2000000179%2C%22le%22%3A1932107.900000006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="873" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“Sobrang supportive po.

Ako yung minsan na-out of place. Mas mauuna pa siyang ikiss nina Elijah bago ko siya makiss. Halimbawa bago ko siya mabati ng ‘Oy nandito ka pala’, mauuna nila malaman. Sila muna yung magyayakap. Tapos halimbawa nagtetake ako or nasa malayo ako inaayusan, kapag nandoon sila sa upuan maglalambingan, maghahaplusan. Lagi akong naiinis,” Xyriel remarked.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw0-hdJZJ2/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1932176.1000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A1931617.2000000179%2C%22le%22%3A1932107.900000006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="626" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“Close sila.
