Fans and shippers of Kapuso stars Jillian Ward and Raheel Bhyria will be happy to know that the celebrity pair have recently been deepening their relationship.

In an interview on the set of Mga Batang Riles by Lhar Santiago for 24 Oras, Jillian shared that she now understands Raheel more and now has more trust in him.

“Mas naintindihan ko po ngayon si Raheel. Siguro mas may trust na rin po ako sa kanya ngayon, kahit hindi siya naniniwala. Mas may trust ako sa kanya ngayon. Mas open na ako sa kanya compared dun sa Abot Kamay na Pangrap days namin,” she said.

For his part, Raheel shared that working with Jillian now has allowed him to tell her things he hasn't told her before.

“Nagpapasalamat ako nandito siya dahil marami rin akong naisabi na hindi ko maisabi rin before. 'Yun mas naintindihan niya daw ako, hindi ko alam kung totoo ba na may tiwala na siya sa akin,” he shared.

Both Jillian and Raheel also expressed their appreciation for the shippers making videos of them online, admitting that they also watch these contents when they are on their phones.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga fans na nagshi-ship sa amin kasi nakakatuwa. Lagi po akong kinikilig kapag nakikita ko 'yung edits naming. Mag-isa, nanonood ako, kinikilig ako,” Raheel said.

Jillian seconded, “Ako din, napapa scroll din ako, nakikita ko 'yung mga edits nila. Saka chine-check ko 'yung mga reposts niya (Raheel) so nakikita ko 'yung mga edits na napapanood mo din."

The pair also said they look forward to working together on the set of Mga Batang Riles.

“Kapag nakikita ko na may taping, mas nalu-look forward ko kapag nakikito kong nandun si Jill kasi mas nainspire ako kapag nakikita kong kasama siya,” explained Raheel.

“Natutuwa ako kasi nasabi ko na rin naman sa kanya na kapag nagta-taping ako, dahil nandyan siya, komportable ako. Siya talaga pinaka close ako since Abot Kamay na Pangarap,” said Jillian.
