Elle Villanueva admits Derrick Monasterio is courting her

Elle Villanueva has admitted that Derrick Monasterio is courting her.

According to Cata Tibayan's report on "24 Oras Weekend," Sunday, the pair spent Valentine's Day working out together on a gym date.

They are not yet calling themselves boyfriend and girlfriend, but they have grown even closer since starring in "Return to Paradise" together.

"After 'yung show, mas naging stronger 'yung bond namin. Mas madalas na kami nagkikita and ang laki ng improvements sa communication namin like we are very honest with each other," Elle said.

Elle and Derrick have been making fans kilig with their chemistry on and off the screen. They previously shared sweet photos together and have gone out on a brunch date.
