Instagram: @beaalonzo</figcaption></figure></div>MANILA — In what appeared to be a public unfolding of their deepening friendship, John Lloyd Cruz said he was no longer certain how to label his relationship with Bea Alonzo, his long-time onscreen partner.A video call was streamed live on Alonzo&#x27;s Instagram page on Monday night. The actress, who is in Metro Manila, invited Cruz, who is in Cebu, to join her &quot;Kumustahan&quot; stream with her followers.What followed was an half-hour back-and-forth on the pandemic that saw a stark contrast between Alonzo&#x27;s optimism and Cruz&#x27;s pessimism — traits they both admitted to.The conversation was not without light moments, however. Towards the end, the two exchanged memorable lines from their projects together, dating back to their tandem&#x27;s launching series in 2002, &quot;Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay.&quot;A playful Cruz then dropped a line from a movie he starred in with a different leading lady, &quot;A Very Special Love&quot; with Sarah Geronimo.The joke prompted a reaction from Alonzo, with Cruz teasing that perhaps she was the one who was &quot;jealous.&quot;Cruz then turned serious as he told Alonzo: &quot;Nandoon ko noong nagmahal ako, nandoon ka noong nasaktan ako, nandoon ka noong wala akong matakbuhan, nandoon ka noong kailangan ko ng kaibigan, nandoon ko noong kailangan ko ng kausap.&quot;&quot;Pag binabalikan ko lahat ng &#x27;yun, minsan hindi ko na alam kung ano pa tayo, eh. Kung sino tayo. Pero okay lang, kasi ang mahalaga &#x27;yung nandoon ka. Iyon lang, sapat na &#x27;yun,&quot; he said.Alonzo, apparently confused, asked Cruz which movie of theirs those lines came from.&quot;Wala, gusto ko lang sabihin,&quot; he answered.At that point, Alonzo turned reflective about the image they&#x27;ve shown to the public, and which parts of that are consistent with their real identities. Further, she asked whether they were truly aware of their true self.&quot;Itong kausap ko, sino &#x27;yan? Si John Lloyd o &#x27;yung totoong ikaw?&quot; she asked Cruz.He answered: &quot;Sino nga ba &#x27;yung totoong tayo? Meron bang ganun?&quot;Alonzo said their conversation reminded her of a line from Basha, her character in their iconic film &quot;One More Chance.&quot;Quoting the character, Alonzo said: &quot;Now it all makes sense. Kahit na may nararamdaman akong mali, I chose to look away, I chose to keep quiet. Kasi ang sabi ko, ang nagmamahal, naniniwala, nagtitiwala.&quot;When Cruz asked Alonzo whether those words came from Basha or from her, she responded: &quot;Sabi ni Basha, pero sabi ko rin.&quot;Cruz could only manage a giggle after what Alonzo said, and proceeded to get a guitar which he then played.He sang &quot;You Are My Sunshine.&quot;Just as he finished performing, the call was interrupted by a knock on Cruz&#x27;s door. It was from a companion carrying Elias, his one-year-old son with his former partner Ellen Adarna.For the first time, Cruz introduced the boy on camera as he made Elias wave for Alonzo.That was Cruz&#x27;s cue to excuse himself from Alonzo&#x27;s live video, saying it was time for him to put Elias to sleep.Cruz, 36, and Alonzo, 32, have denied numerous times being involved romantically in real-life amid the enduring popularity of their &quot;love team.&quot;The two happen to be recently single, with Alonzo and Cruz separating, respectively, from Gerald Anderson and Adarna in 2019.
