Although we have been apart, now that we’re together fills my heart,” he said.Adding three heart emojis to his Twitter post, Leviste added: “Happy Birthday to you and Happy Valentine’s Day to us!”Despite Leviste’s post, it’s still unconfirmed whether romance is brewing between him and Aquino.On Tuesday, the politician posted a video of him visiting Aquino in the US, where she has been undergoing treatments for her autoimmune conditions.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/14/23/mark-leviste-flies-to-us-to-see-kris-aquino-on-her-birthday">&#x27;You are so beautiful&#x27;: Mark Leviste flies to US to see Kris Aquino on her birthday</a></li></ul>The clip had a romantic tune, &quot;A Thousand Years&quot; by Christina Perri, as its background music.&quot;You are so beautiful,&quot; were Leviste&#x27;s first words to Aquino as her son Bimby opened the vehicle&#x27;s door.Notably, Leviste&#x27;s caption for his reunion with Aquino was the same quote the actress had used as an image post a day prior — &quot;Distance is just a test to see how far love can travel.”Aquino, in her February 13 post updating her followers about her health, also mentioned a mystery man as her support system along with her family, friends, and companions in the US.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/14/23/kris-aquinos-medical-results-show-scary-red-flag">Kris Aquino surrenders all to God after medical results show &#x27;scary red flag&#x27;</a></li></ul>&quot;You need to be a very determined man of your word to fly 13 hours each way to spend a few days with me on my birthday,&quot; she wrote on Monday, without naming anyone.Leviste and Aquino also stirred speculation at the start of the year, when the vice governor posted a photo of them together on New Year&#x27;s Day in California.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/03/23/kris-aquino-looking-better-in-new-year-photos">Kris Aquino looking better in New Year photos</a></li></ul>The two were first romantically linked as early as 2019, when Leviste responded to Aquino&#x27;s tongue-in-cheek invitation to single men, aged 41-55, to add her personal Facebook account as a &quot;friend.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/09/23/19/this-politician-just-responded-to-kris-aquinos-public-invitation-to-single-men-aged-41-55">This politician just responded to Kris Aquino’s public invitation to single men, aged 41-55</a></li></ul>Leviste, who happened to be 41 at the time, publicly commented on Aquino&#x27;s Instagram page, volunteering his friendship.
