Aww, Inah De Belen Is All For Sister Kaila Estrada's Happiness Amid Daniel Padilla Dating Rumors

Published on Jul 22, 2026
Inah De Belen is happily enjoying her relationship with longtime boyfriend Jake Vargas, but it looks like love is also blooming for her younger sister Kaila Estrada. ICYDK, Kaila has been linked to her Incognito co-star Daniel Padilla, with fans speculating that the two are quietly dating. While neither Kaila nor Daniel has officially confirmed their relationship, the people closest to them have continued to show their support—and Inah is the latest family member to share her thoughts.
On July 17, Inah and Jake sat down with Boy Abunda for an episode of Fast Talk With Boy Abunda, where she opened up about seeing her sister happy with Daniel. "You know what, Tito Boy, the many times that we have been spending time with them, nakikita ko na okay siya and masaya yung kapatid ko," she said.
Like any protective older sister, Inah shared that Kaila's happiness is what matters most to her. "Boto ako sa happiness ng kapatid ko. And when I see them together, happy sila," she added.
But Inah's not the only one who has seen the happiness between the rumored couple. Back in December 2025, Daniel's mom, Karla Estrada, also opened up about her son's love life, saying that she simply wants him to be happy. "Kung ano yung nakikita ko sa anak ko na masaya siya, masaya na rin ako bilang nanay niya," she said.
She also acknowledged that Daniel and Kaila are old enough to make their own choices. "Nasa edad na kasi sila eh, so manggaling na lang sa kanila dahil di na rin naman ako para manguna. Hayaan na natin. Kung ano yung nakikita natin, masaya na naman tayo pare-pareho and I think it's about time na mag mature na tayo sa mga ganitong sitwasyon," Karla added.
And throughout the past year, fans have continued to notice the pair's sweet moments together. Last March 16, Kaila celebrated her 30th birthday, where Daniel was reportedly present. According to PEP.ph, some guests captured the actor singing Radiohead's "Creep" during the celebration and pointing to someone while singing the lyrics, "You're so f*cking special." The outlet also reported that Daniel's siblings JC Padilla, Magui Ford Planas, and Lella Ford attended the party.
The following month, Kaila was also spotted at Daniel's 31st birthday celebration with his family and close friends. She added to dating speculations after sharing a blurred but sweet photo of them on her Instagram Story, paired with Justin Bieber's song, "Everything Hallelujah." In the photo, Daniel's hand could be seen wrapped around Kaila and resting on her back.
Daniel later shared his own Instagram photo dump in May, which included a solo photo of Kaila smiling while sitting on a golf cart. He captioned the post, "There are no ifs, woulds, coulds, shoulds. Its just is. And we just are."
That same month, Kaila's mom Janice De Belen also expressed her support for her daughter's happiness. "I am just happy that Kaila is happy. 'Yun lang. Para sa isang parent, ang gusto mo lang ay maging masaya sila," she said in an interview.
Most recently, Daniel attended John Estrada's birthday celebration in June. The actor was even included in a family photo where the Estrada siblings posed with their partners and their parents, giving fans another sweet glimpse into how close their families have become.
While they've only been dropping hints and soft launches here and there—with Kaila's latest Instagram post showing a man's arms across a dinner table—family and fans have already been hoping for their happiness as their relationship continues to unfold.
