Korina Sanchez shared this unconfirmed “balikan” of KathNiel
The rumored “balikan” of KathNiel, the tandem of Asia’s Superstar Kathryn Bernardo and Supreme Idol Daniel Padilla, was mentioned by veteran journalist Korina Sanchez in a recent episode of her news program on Bilyonaryo news channel.
Korina has been in between the news and showbiz worlds for many years already. Aside from the news and current affairs programs she had over the years, she also hosted magazine shows and talk shows, where she would interview showbiz personalities.
In a recent episode of her news program Agenda with Pinky Webb, Korina mentioned a rumor about Kathryn and Daniel.
It is known to many showbiz fans that KathNiel broke up in 2023. The former reel and real-life sweethearts were together for 11 years. This broke the hearts of their fans, but controversies also surfaced, especially against Daniel.
He was accused of cheating and not treating Kathryn well when they were together. Amid the issue, both Kathryn and Daniel were mum about the reason for their separation.
In recent months, the actress has been linked to Lucena City Mayor Mark Alcala. Korina mentioned that since it is not yet confirmed that Kathryn and Mayor Mark are together, she might as well say another rumor that she has been hearing in the showbiz circle.

“Since napagkukwentuhan at hindi pa naman confirmed, si Mark at tsaka si Kathryn, eh di ipasok ko na rin yan,” the veteran journalist said, referring to the rumored “balikan” of KathNiel.
“Para alam nila na jumble jumble pa yan,” Korina added. Then, she apologized to Kathryn and Daniel for talking about them. “Sige, tingnan natin kung totoo ang iyong chika,” Pinky said to Korina. Back in February, rumors also surfaced about the supposed KathNiel “balikan.”

This clip was shared on Reddit, and netizens had different takes on this. Some netizens believed that Korina mentioned the rumor that KathNiel got back together to cover up the rumored relationship between Kathryn and Mark.
For some netizens, this was a PR stunt for the actress to create noise for her current show Pilipinas Got Talent. Another netizen pointed out how Pinky was trying to dismiss Korina’s effort to share an “unconfirmed” chika. Here are some comments.
