Talks of a big-screen project followed, but that fell through, with Cuneta hinting their relationship has turned sour again due to professional differences. <cite>Instagram: @reallysharoncuneta</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">JUDY ANN SANTOS AND WOWIE DE GUZMAN</h1><p>Santos and de Guzman were one of the most popular love teams of the early ‘90s. Their romantic team-up formed on the soap opera “Mara Clara,” and spilled over to real life, Santos recalled in a 2014 interview. Their last co-starring project was the movie “Luv Text” in 2001. <cite>Star Cinema</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">CLAUDINE BARRETTO AND MARK ANTHONY FERNANDEZ</h1><p>Prior to her love team with the late Rico Yan, Barretto had an onscreen and real-life partner in Fernandez. Early this year, Fernandez signed up with Viva Artists Agency, which also manages Barretto’s career, paving the way for a planned reunion project. <cite>Star Cinema</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">JERICHO ROSALES AND KRISTINE HERMOSA</h1><p>It has been nearly two decades since Rosales and Hermosa were first paired onscreen in “Pangako Sa ‘Yo” and subsequently became a real-life couple. Their last project together was the teleserye “Dahil May Isang Ikaw” in 2009. The two are now married to their respective partners. <cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">MARICEL SORIANO AND WILLIAM MARTINEZ</h1><p>Launched in the early ‘80s, this love team starred in a string of romantic comedy films. They most recently co-starred in the TV5 drama anthology “Untold Stories” in 2012. <cite>Regal Films</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">LEA SALONGA AND AGA MUHLACH</h1><p>Their team-up, unlike most love teams, did not span several films or TV shows, but Salonga and Muhlach are considered to this day one of the most unforgettable big-screen pairings. A reunion film has long been anticipated, but the two stars’ respective schedules never seem to align. <cite>Star Cinema/ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><h1 class="heading">ALBERT MARTINEZ AND SNOOKY SERNA</h1><p>This love team grew to popularity in the ‘80s, with films like “Summer Love,” “Bata Pa Si Sabel,” and “First Love, First Kiss” generating “kilig” among their fans. <cite>Regal Films</cite></p></div></div></div>
