On her 24th birthday, Kapuso actress Klea Pineda came out as gay.
She wrote on Instagram, "My 24th birthday is extra special since I finally mustered up the courage to come out to the world as my true authentic self. Masasabi ko na ito na ang pinakamatapang na desisyon na nagawa ko sa buong buhay ko."
"I want the world to know that I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community."
Although Klea's revelation was received positively by a lot of people, she assured her fans that she is still the same Klea that they have loved and supported through the years.
"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!"
In her interview in 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Klea officially introduced her girlfriend, Katrice Kierulf. In fact, right after Klea shared the news to the world, Katrice also penned a birthday message for the love of her life.
She wrote on Instagram, "It's just so crazy how our paths crossed. How we would always wonder why everything just seems to fall into place. It may be mere coincidence or luck. But whatever it may be, I believe the stars aligned for us for a reason.
"I am beyond lucky to have met you in this lifetime, Klea. You are the most loving, patient, & generous soul I've ever met. I'm so proud to call you my girlfriend."
In July 2025, Klea Pineda confirmed her breakup with Katrice Kierulf.
The actress addressed the split during her appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on a Friday episode, where Tito Boy directly asked if the two had ended their relationship.
