Klea Pineda denies that Janella Salvador was third party in her past relationship

Klea Pineda addressed the rumors that Janella Salvador was the third party in her past relationship with Katrice Kierulf.

In an interview with GMA News Online at the GMA Gala 2025 on Saturday, Klea said she was aware of the rumors and immediately debunked them.

“Sinasabi ko, sinasabi ko mismo sa inyo, walang third party na nangyari,” Klea said.

“’Yung closeness namin ni Janella, inevitable siya kasi magkasama kami sa film,” she added.
 
Klea also said that the four lead cast members also including Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Leanne Mamonong in “Open Endings” all became close because of their shooting days.

“The third party issue, come on guys, tama na,” Klea said.

In July, Klea confirmed the end of her three-year relationship with Katrice Kierulf.

Klea came out as gay in March 2023 during her 24th birthday. 

She soon after publicly introduced Katrice as her girlfriend. In January, they marked their third anniversary.
