Ilacad and Estrada developed a bond inside the Pinoy Big Brother House as housemates in its latest season, resulting to fans dubbing their duo &quot;KDLex.&quot;The two have been vocal on social media about their mutual fondness for each other, but have not confirmed an off-screen relationship, despite speculation. &quot;Secret po. Ibubulong na lang namin later,&quot; Ilacad replied in jest when Caluag followed up on their relationship status.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/03/18/22/kd-estrada-on-status-with-alexa-ilacad-were-partners">READ: KD Estrada on status with Alexa Ilacad: ‘We’re partners’</a></li></ul>But the two turned serious reflecting on the timing when their paths crossed in the reality show. &quot;Siguro binigay ako sa&#x27;yo ni Lord to make your journey here lighter. Baka talagang pinaglapit tayo. For so many times we were in the same room, there were so many times na dapat nag-PBB ako, pero bakit sa itong [season] napunta,&quot; Ilacad told Estrada. Estrada, whose time confined inside the PBB house was marred by struggles with depression, said Ilacad&#x27;s companionship was invaluable help. Ilacad was always waiting and ready to listen to him after visits to the &quot;confession room&quot; with Big Brother where at times he would suffer panic attacks. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/newsroom/news-releases/2021/10/27/kd-estrada-pbb-kumunity-netizens?lang=en">READ: Netizens and housemates turn emotional as KD Estrada shares story on life struggles</a></li></ul>&quot;I felt she really wanted to understand and help me. It&#x27;s so nice kasi [while] the housemates they&#x27;re nice, Alexa is different,&quot; Estarda said. Ilacad added: &quot;I didn&#x27;t know at that time he was going through something. I just felt like this person needs me, like, baka maka-help ka. When I saw him and I felt like he needed me, I really knew I needed to make an effort to understand what this person is going through para matulungan ko.&quot; Their bond found Ilacad realizing the two were &quot;like two lost souls.&quot;Estrada, who was diagnosed with depression inside the PBB house by resident psychologist-psychiatrist Dr. Randy Dellosa, made a turning point in realizing to whom his journey inside the house was actually for. &quot;Sometimes it was too much for me to handle ... I was going through a very toxic cycle. [But] I felt I had to do something for me, because I was always doing things for other people; I just told myself, &#x27;Let&#x27;s not do it for anyone, let&#x27;s do it for KD,&#x27;&quot; Estrada said. The two mutually agreed that if an off-screen relationship buds from their bond inside the PBB house, it &quot;would just be a cherry on top.&quot;&quot;Either way there&#x27;s a solid bond,&quot; Ilacad said. Ilacad hoped for more understanding, patience, and growth for the both of them looking forward. Estrada said he looked now to branching out his passions, starting a business, and securing his future now that he has left the PBB house. <figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2000956" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
