Rhaila Tomakin denies involvement in Kobe-Kyline breakup

Humarap sa media si Rhaila Tomakin, na itinuturong rason kung bakit naghiwalay sina Kobe Paras at Kyline Alcantara.

Siya ang babaeng ka-holding hands ni Kobe sa larawang kuha sa Bali, Indonesia, at nag-viral noong last week ng April.

Siya ang pinutakti ng mga bashers at inakusahang “third party” sa Kobe-Kyline breakup na, ayon sa source ng PEP Troika, ay nangyari noong first week of April.

Netizens ask: Is this Kobe Paras with a non-showbiz girl?

Sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Rhaila sa Same But Different Cafe sa New Manila, Quezon City, nitong May 15, 2025, agad siyang tinanong kung ano ba talaga ang tunay na estado ng relasyon nila ng basketball player.

Ang bungad niya: “Kobe is such a great guy and a very good friend, but that’s about it.

“Here’s the thing, gets ko naman ang mga tao, how easily things could be misunderstood, and I don’t wanna invalidate anyone’s feelings.

“As a Filipino, we have that three-month rule type of thing,” na patungkol sa pakikipag-date three months after the breakup of a couple.

Sa pagpapatuloy ni Rhaila, “It’s 2025, guys, we have same-day delivery now. It’s not international shipping anymore.

“I don’t wanna disrespect anyone by saying like their feelings [were] invalid, but, for me, personally, I wasn’t really trying to insert myself or hurt anyone’s feelings.

“It was just a matter of same place, same time, we have a simple moment.”

Mabilis daw bumuo ng speculations ang mga tao dahil lumitaw ang larawan right after napabalitang break na ang dalawang Sparkle talents.

Pero paglilinaw ni Rhaila, “It was a group trip. People are so funny, akala ng mga tao na nag-honeymoon kami dun, but it was a group trip, guys.

“We are all there together, it wasn’t just me and him.

“It was so innocent that people just twisted it.”

KOBE PARAS IS NOT RHAILA TOMAKIN’S TYPE

Binigyang-diin din ni Rhaila na hindi niya type ang mga tulad ni Kobe dahil mas naa-attract daw siya sa mga older at mature guys.

“People would be suprised, but Kobe is not actually my usual type.

“I’m not into basketball players, I’m not into basketball player, I’m not into sports people.

“I’m into business people. I like a guy who can stimulate my mind. I like a guy who knows how to be a man.

“I don’t wanna teach a man on how to be a man, I want older guys.”

Kung tutuusin, pasok sa kanyang age requirement si Kobe, na 27 years old, pero magkaibigan lang daw sila.

“Twenty-five below, wag na lang, don’t message me, I will block you.

“Twenty-five above, please. Yeah, I want maturity because ayokong umiiyak ako bago matulog. None of that, no more. I’ve done it, I will not do it again coz I’m a long-term relationship person.

“I’ve been in five relationships—all of them, one year, three years, one year, two years, ang tagal.

“People call me a whore in the internet. You’re all tripping cause I’m a relationship person.”

RHAILA TOMAKIN ON BASHING

Musta na sila ni Kobe?

“We’re still friends to this day. Honestly, when that all blew up, Kobe was very good, like, a very good support system.

“He helped me handle it. He was like, ‘If you see anything, just block them right away,’ and I did.

“He was very helpful in dealing with all the hate, because he knew it was all because of him that I got trapped into this, right? He was very helpful talaga.”

Hindi lang bashing ang natanggap niya mula sa netizens. May mga death threats pa raw hindi lang sa kanya kundi maging sa kanyang pamilya.

“It got really bad to the point where, as in, my family gets death threats.

“Me getting death threats, it was like, ‘I’m gonna stab you.’

“Everywhere, even messenger, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, even e-mails, pokpok daw ako.

“Pokpok, I guess, is the worst one. I wish I got paid, hahaha. I’m joking.”

Hindi raw siya affected ng name-calling, “No, no, it’s not that.”

Ang inalmahan niya ay nung idinawit pa ang kanyang pamilya.

“It was when they insult my mom, like my family, yun ang masakit para sa akin.

“Kasi ako I can handle it, e, I don’t care.

“It’s my family, like, nadadamay pa sila. They message my family, my friends, they knew before I did because ako, I delete my apps on my phone, I only downloaded when I post contents.

“My friends knew before I did, and they send me links and staff like, ‘Whoa, this is big.’

“There was a point that sometimes I was scared to come back in the Philippines, but then I realized, I’m never gonna see them.”

Si Rhaila ay lumaki sa Dubai at tumira sa Dumaguete City.

Pero mukhang mas magiging visible na siya sa Philippine music scene dahil pumirma siya ng kontrata with O/C Records, na pagmamay-ari ng mag-asawang Kean Cipriano at Chynna Ortaleza.

Very chill siya during the intimate presscon at tila hindi siya nagpaapekto sa mga nangyari.

“I just surrounded myself with people that make you feel [good].

“Because the world already is a negative place, it’s just important to surround yourself with people you feel [you can be] authentic to yourself.

“By authentically being yourself, just allowing space for every version of yourself and not feeling guilty for how you feel because feelings pass.

“It doesn’t make who you are. Be authentic to yourself.”

Madalas din daw mag-send ng reminders ang kanyang ina.

“Like, literally, I can show you guys her text. She sent me a text kasi before when I came here, but, she’s the sweetest.

“These are all she says, like, ‘Never badmouth anyone, think before you speak, be real, bring out the natural you.'”
