Actress Klea Pineda, who just came out as a proud member of LGBTQIA+ community has a girlfriend.
Katrice Kierulf was introduced in "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda."
According to Klea, she and Katrice met through a common friend.
They share the same passion for motorcycles.
Klea described Katrice as a supportive partner.
In fact, Katrice was so excited about her coming out.
"In-ask ko siya kung OK lang sa kanya kasi once na nag-out ako, mag-a-out na rin siya sa public. Ang sagot niya sa akin Tito Boy 'Hinihintay lang naman kita,'" she related. "She's very supportive talaga ever since, since day one."
"Thank you for everything, hun. Thank you and I love you so much," Klea told Katrice, who was invited by Boy to join them in front of the cameras.
Klea came out coinciding with her 24th birthday.
She explained, "By doing this, I hope to inspire and empower others who are still struggling to come into terms with their sexuality. Alam ko mahirap at nakakatakot, but please know na walang mali sa atin at walang kulang sa atin kahit pa magpakatotoo tayo. Marami man ang manghusga, mas marami pa rin ang tatanggap at magmamahal sa’yo nang buong-buo. Just be the person that your younger self would be proud of!"
"My sexuality is just one aspect of my life and it won’t stop me from chasing after my dreams. I am still the same Klea that you loved and supported throughout the years. The only difference now is I can proudly say that I’m gay!"
She declared that from then on, she wants to live her life "fearlessly."
"Let’s spread love and empowerment, everyone! And always remember, #LoveIsLove!"
