Barbie Forteza, Jameson Blake just friends

Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza has clarified recent dating rumors, emphasizing that she and actor Jameson Blake are just friends following their appearances at races together.

During an interview on the July 11 episode of 24 Oras with GMA News, Barbie explained that her friendship with Jameson is platonic, stating he invited her to join him for a run like other running friends would do and they were merely holding hands to navigate through the crowd at a fun run in Pampanga.

Barbie also addressed a photo of herself and ex-boyfriend Jak Roberto taken at the GMA Network's Beyond 75 anniversary event, declining to comment further on their reunion after seven years together.

She reflected on her career in showbiz, highlighting her close friendship with Alden Richards and growing bond with love team partner David Licauco since the start of 2025.

Barbie's upcoming horror film 'P77' will premiere in cinemas on July 30 alongside other cast members Euwenn Mikaell, Gina Pareño, and Jackie Lou Blanco.

Additionally, Barbie stars in the drama series 'Beauty Empire,' which airs Mondays to Thursdays at 9:35 p.m. on GMA Network and is also available on Viu.
