Alden Richards said he was surprised to hear about Mikee Quintos's revelation that she had feelings for him.
During Mikee's guesting on "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda" last week, the Sparkle actress said she confessed to Alden.
On Monday's episode of the show, the Asia's Multimedia Star said this was the first time he heard about it.
"Ako po kasi ang understanding ko at the context of friendship," he said.
Alden said he and Mikee were very close during the taping of their 2019 series "The Gift" and they remain good friends today.
Mikee said she got to know Alden during the show, but he did not reciprocate her feelings.
"Nakilala ko 'yung pagkatao niya, 'yung sweet siya, na mabait siya, kung gaano ka genuine, sobrang God-fearing," she said.
"And I just had to try to express whatever I was feeling. I couldn't explain it," she added.
Mikee is now dating Paul Salas, while Alden said he is single.
During the Truth of Dare segment, Alden was asked whether it was true that he is courting someone. However, he chose to keep silent and do the dare of macho dancing while saying his popular line in upcoming film "Five Break-Ups and a Romance."
Directed by Irene Villamor, the film also stars Julia Montes. It will be released in cinemas on October 18.
