The remarkable success of their first-ever team-up brought them the digital flick “Love Is Color Blind” and the highly anticipated “He’s Into Her Season 2.”Never did Seth imagined that he’s longtime celebrity crush Andrea would become his loveteam partner when he joined showbiz after his <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbotso">Pinoy Big Brother Otso</a> stint. He was able to work with her on his first-ever acting project <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/kadenangginto">Kadenang Ginto</a> and the SethDrea tandem was born and have been embraced by their throngs of supporters. They went on to topbill the iWantTFC original movie “Wild Little Love”, the Kapamilya inspirational series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/hkm2021">Huwag Kang Mangamba</a>, and the iQiyi digital romance-comedy series “Saying Goodbye.”Both kicking off their showbiz careers as child stars, Kyle and Francine went on to become among the most promising and well-loved artists and hottest loveteams of this generation. They were first paired with one another in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/kadenangginto" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Kadenang Ginto</a>, which was succeeded by their stints in the iWantTFC original film “Silly Red Shoes” and series “Bawal Lumabas: The Series,” as well as in the Kapamilya inspirational series <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/hkm2021" style="color:rgb(7, 130, 193);font-family:sans-serif,Arial,Verdana,&quot;trebuchet ms&quot;;font-size:13px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px">Huwag Kang Mangamba</a>.Their unmistakable chemistry was truly notable during their PBB Otso stint. Thus, it has been easy for Karina and Aljon to score projects as soon as they stepped out of the house.

Aside from fulfilling their personal missions and ambitions, a wonderful bond bloomed between them, thus, the KoDrea loveteam was born. And it seems that everything between them is getting real already as Andre revealed in one of her media interviews last year that Kobie has started courting her!
