It seems like Joshua Garcia's relationship with Fil-Am singer Bella Poarch is blossoming into something.
After Bella admitted that she has a crush on Joshua, the TikTok King believes that the feeling is mutual.
In an interview with MJ Felipe for ABS-CBN, Joshua was asked if he had a crush on Bella.
He answered: “Tulad ng sabi ko MJ, why not? Kasi 'yung mga tao hinahangaan siya. Maganda, magaling kumanta. Crush lang naman, lahat naman tayo nagka-crush.”
On Bella's revelation that they have been messaging, Joshua revealed that they have been planning to meet since June.
"Pero hindi natuloy 'yung Star Magic Tour ko, hindi ako nakasama. Tapos July ata pupunta siya, pero hindi din naman natuloy... Yeah, hindi natin alam. We’re good friends, ngayon okay kami. Magkaibigan kami ngayon,” he said.
“Hindi lang naman 'hi, hello' ('yung usapan namin) kasi ang boring din naman kung 'hi, hello' lang. May konting katanungan at hinanap ko ang English ko pero nagta-Tagalog din naman pala siya.”
Joshua said he's looking forward to meeting Bella in person, who's planning to visit the country in December.
Recall that Bella first hinted at her fondness for Joshua in April when she uploaded a snippet of the actor singing on her TikTok account, where she has 91.1 million followers.
Then the following month, Bella reacted to Joshua’s shirtless snaps.
Joshua said: “She posted me before sa TikTok account niya, and nag-comment ako dun kasi nagulat ako na na-a-appreciate niya 'yung ginagawa ko. I think nakakataba lang ng puso kasi ako siyempre I'm happy na may nagsu-support or humahanga sa akin.”
In May, Joshua's former girlfriend Julia Barretto advised him to stay out of a relationship: 'Wag ka munang mag-gi-girlfriend.'"
