First came the rumors, then came the bashing, then, denial.
When rumors about James Reid and Julia Barretto going out on an alleged coffee date circulated, fans of the JaDine love team — that’s James Reid and Nadine Lustre for us — didn’t waste time on bashing both James and Julia.
Fan boys and girls will naturally feel territorial. Rumors had it James and Julia were sweet and kissy-kissy on that rumored date.
But James was first to deny the reports. “No,” the young actor was quoted in a Pep.ph report. “Of course I know her, we did Hopeless Romantic together. [But] her number? No, I don’t have.”
According to a separate Pep.ph report, Julia echoed James’ denial yesterday. “Take it from here, move on na tayo and focus na tayo sa work,” Julia said.
She admitted the bashing hurt her a little. “Aaminin ko, masakit ang mga nabitawang salita.”
And then she emphasized, again, that no such date with James Reid ever happened.
