Ralph De Leon says AZ Martinez is ‘very special’ to him

For Ralph De Leon, AZ Martinez is someone who is “very special” to him.

On Thursday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the young actor was asked about his current status with the Sparkle star.

“Honestly, sa ‘kin Tito Boy, very special talaga si AZ sa ‘kin. So we’ve really built a deeper connection ever since no’ng paglabas ng bahay, even from the last time I was here. And through the course of that five months, I’ve gotten to know her very well and we’ve really spent a lot of time together, lalo na with sila Vince—our circle, Vince, Kira, Xy, Josh, so it’s all good,” Ralph said.

When asked if there was anything special between the two of them, Ralph said, “We’re friends.”

He was also asked to rate their connection.

“If 10 is a relationship and 0 is like I don’t know you, I would say we’re like at a good seven, eight,” Ralph said.

At the end of the episode, he was asked to give his favorite name of a girl who’s not related to him.

Ralph simply answered with a shoutout, “Hi, Z!”

AzRalph is one of the most popular fan ships that emerged from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition."

They started as the RAZ duo, and their closeness eventually led to them getting teased often.

Following their exit from PBB, the two captured their first-ever selfie together outside the house, sparking kilig vibes among their beloved fans. 

In his previous “Fast Talk” guesting, Ralph said that he and AZ are “very good friends.”
