To those who aren’t aware of yet, Viral Scandal actress Ria Atayde and Kathryn Bernardo are BFFs in real life!
Since they were cast as best friends in the box-office smash “The Hows of Us”, Daniel Padilla, Ria and Kathryn stayed true to their roles even after the movie. In the film, the Queen of Hearts played the role of Georgina “George” Silva, while her “king” played Primo Alvarez. On the other hand, Ria was Awee, the best friend of George.
After the success of “The Hows of Us,” Ria and Kathryn still hang out with each other whenever their work schedule permits. They have already traveled many times together, such as in Siargao Island in 2018 along with the members of their beloved “Nguya Squad”, which include Dominic Roque, Patrick Sugui, Joe Vargas and his fiancée Bianca Yanga, and Kathryn’s reel-to-real boyfriend Daniel.
In the Pure Magic New Year’s Party 2019, Ria and Kath were spotted enjoying the festivity together as they ate and danced side by side throughout the party. Sharing some of their wackiest pictures on the said event, the 2 Good 2 Be True lead star captioned the post, "I totally get this now, ‘Unexpected friendships are the best ones’." To which Ria replied, "What a pleasant surprise our friendship is".
Meanwhile, the Viral Scandal actress also posted few of their fierce photos along with a cute caption, “You can’t sit with us...but you can eat with us. [Joke!] You can do both. So glad I danced the night away with one of my favorite blessings of 2018.”
From playing roles as best friends, going on various escapades together, and dancing the night away together at a party, they are now also certified reading buddies as they share the same passion for books along with another friend Alora Sasam. Indeed, Ria and Kathryn have set the friendship goals that every other girl would love to do with her best friend.
In her guesting in Tonight With Boy Abunda in 2019, Kathryn talked about her friendship with Ria and their “The Hows of Us” castmate Juan Miguel Severo, as well as showed the piercing she got with them.
“Si Gege and si Ria, sila ‘yong mga new found friends ko na ang laki po ng epekto nila sa akin. Sobrang dami kong natututunan sa kanila. Ang dami kong decisions, mga major decisions na sila ‘yong nasa likod no’n,” she related.
Take a look at their exciting and blissful friendship in these photos!
