It seems Kontrabida Academy did more than bring entertainment, as fans have also observed that it may have sparked a genuine connection between Jameson Blake and Barbie Forteza.
In a recent interview, Jameson shared that it was during the filming of the movie that he and Barbie grew close. “We met there, and the rest is history,” he said with a grin.
Their chemistry developed naturally, helped by a shared hobby. “We love to run. We’re just really enjoying each other’s company,” he added.
When asked to describe their current relationship, Jameson didn’t shy away from sincerity. “It’s genuine, whether you call it friendship or relationship. It’s not just about the movie.”
Barbie recently visited Jameson’s home in Angeles City, Pampanga, where she met his mother.
“She was taping nearby and wanted to explore. So, she dropped by our house,” he said.
As for whether he’s courting the Kapuso actress, Jameson admitted they’re taking things slowly.
“Yes, sort of. We’re in the early stage. We just want to get to know each other better,” he shared.
He spoke highly of Barbie, praising her professionalism and warmth. He said that the young actress is very respectful, kind, and talented.
“Everyone knows how good she is as an actress. Off-cam, she’s sweet and nice, but when the cameras roll, she transforms completely,” he stated.
When asked if Barbie makes him happy, his answer was simple and sincere: “Oh yes! I think we all deserve to be happy. And I’m happy.”
Fans, of course, are just as thrilled. “I appreciate the support from our followers. Who wouldn’t like that?” he said.

Shuvee Etrata Builds Her Dream
for the Family
Kapuso star Shuvee Etrata is one step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream—building a home for her family in Polomolok, Mindanao.
“Maybe next year it will be completed,” she said. “My goal is to have the house done by 2026.”
She recently bought an 800-square-meter lot, where her siblings, who all study in Polomolok, will soon have their own rooms. “As their older sister, I’m proud that I can finally give them that,” she said.
The Pinoy Big Brother Collab Edition alumna said the dream stems from her childhood.
“Growing up, we never had our own house. There were eight of us sharing one room,” she shared.
Now that she can provide for her family, Shuvee is determined to give them the comfort and space they’ve never had before. “I want my siblings to experience having their own rooms, and my family to finally have a place to call home,” she said.
