Before they impress us with their promising performances in the Kapamilya afternoon drama <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/paraiso2023">Pira-Pirasong Paraiso</a> as Angela Medina and Elon Lamadrid, it can be recalled that <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/paraiso2023/articles-news/alexa-proves-natural-hosting-skill-as-star-patroller-receives-all-out-support-from-kd-20252">Alexa Ilacad astounded us first with her stint as a celebrity star patroller of TV Patrol,</a> with her loveteam partner KD Estrada as her number one supporter.Thus, anchor-slash-vlogger Bernadette Sembrano, had the chance to chat with him at the sidelines while the staff and the glam team huddled on Alexa in between takes. He imparted that being with her for almost two years has already gotten him used to this kind of scenario, considering that she’s been in the industry for a decade now.Even though he didn’t have business there, KD made sure that he’s just somewhere near her not just to support her, but to also protect her and ensure that she would not get overwhelmed. When asked how he would describe Alexa, he told Bernadette, “determined, powerful, strong, and independent woman. Boss lady. She radiates that energy na she can do this because she’s Alexa.”The TV Patrol anchor the had the opportunity to talk to Alexa about her journey as a child star, particularly she became part of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/goinbulilit">Goin’ Bulilit</a> at eight years old. She firmly believes that it equipped her to be the strong woman that she is now.Through her remarkable stint in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs10">Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10</a> in 2021, we discovered that she was suffering from body dysmorphia, a mental health condition that made her anxious about flaws in their appearance. And she seems to have already overcome it as she now projects a happy and contest disposition.“I’m in a better place. I discovered a new love on working out and for eating really good,” Alexa related. “I won’t say that I’ve achieved my dream body yet. It’s something I’m continuously working on. But much better emotionally, mentally, and in every way.”How she did it? She told Bernadette that it’s likely because she stopped trying for other people and started to try for herself.Amid their busy schedules, KDLex disclosed that their way of spending quality time with one another is playing Call of Duty. According to them, playing video games provides them pure enjoyment and the relaxation that they need. They like to differentiate their work time and off-duty time, making sure that they’re able to spend time together without any work commitment.As the seasoned broadcaster attempted to make them confess that they’re already in a relationship, neither of them directly confirmed nor denied it. With regard to their fans strongly rooting for their partnership, the two implied how grateful they are for the unwavering support that they’ve been receiving from them for their projects as solo artists and as a tandem.There may be fans who tend to get possessive of them, Alexa conveyed that it’s something that they’ve already accepted since it is part of the loveteam culture in the local entertainment scene. Thus, they understand those supporters who get frustrated or sad once their favorite pair breaks up since they’ve invested time, love, and genuine effort for them.While he has been a supportive partner for Alexa, KD disclosed that she also supports him in many ways. According to him, she supports him emotionally, as well as in his career and personal life. They also always talk about their feelings and make sure that they feel okay.Being in the industry for a couple of years now, he imparted that he’s been enjoying it pretty well. Although there are times that it would get tiring, especially when they have to wait for hours in order to shoot a scene, but that’s what makes it more fulfilling for him.On being in a loveteam, KD finds it really great. “I think, the loveteam culture, it would work if you have really good relationship or partnership with your loveteam. Kasi if you’re just doing it for work, that’s when it gets tricky. Pero with me and Alexa naman, sobrang we’re really genuine with each other. We really have that trust, we really have that connection, that bond. It just makes it so much easier than it actually is.”Since onscreen pairs are inevitably expected to not just stay together in reels but also become for real, he was asked about his intentions for Alexa. “I want to be her long term partner, that’s the goal naman talaga with each other,” he stated, adding that he’s serious with what they have now since none of them would want to waste each other’s time.
