Klea Pineda has officially denied rumors that Janella Salvador had anything to do with her recent breakup with longtime partner Katrice Kierulf.

The rumor was started by some netizens who have been sharing on social media photos and videos of Klea and Janella looking a tad too sweet and cozy for comfort.

Note the two worked together recently for the Cinemalaya film entry “Open Endings.”

But fans insist the photos and videos were not part of the film.

Supposedly, these were taken after filming was already done.

So was it just professional closeness or something more?

In a sideline interview with GMA News during the GMA Gala over the weekend, Klea tried to put the rumors to rest:

“I’m aware of what’s happening, but I keep saying that there’s no third party. My closeness with Janella is inevitable because we worked together on a film. The third party issue, come on, guys, stop it already.”

But the internet won’t stop. Especially not after Katrice liked some very telling TikTok comments naming Janella as the "other party."

Subtle? Not even a little.

And just when things were cooling off, Janella herself threw a well-timed match into the bonfire.

On X, she posted: “You will hear from me. Right place, right time.”

Looks like things are about to heat up.
