8. She is also very "matatakutin" to the point where people even prank her on shows.
Grabe sila kay Kisses!
9. Kisses says she's never had a boyfriend!
Yup, our girl is a certified NBSB, but that doesn't mean she hasn't had crushes *wink wink*. During her PBB days, Kisses opened up about having a crush on fellow housemate Marco Gallo. She has also never fallen in love! During a 2018 guesting on Gandang Gabi Vice, Kisses said: "Siguro infatuated lang."

The two appeared in the projects Walwal (2018), Fantastica (2018), and Playhouse (2018), as well as in many Tonight With Boy Abunda and Gandang Gabi Vice interviews together. Although rumored to be more than friends, Kisses and Donny's love team eventually ended in 2019.
Kisses said in an interview with Tito Boy: "I think na 'pag nagkita kami, we'll totally be friendly to each other pa rin, but we don't have upcoming projects [together] anymore. I think different na ang career path namin. I'm very thankful kasi naging masaya naman talaga ang DonKiss journey. Just because it ended doesn't mean it wasn't good."
In 2021, Donny also expressed his support for Kisses' Miss Universe PH journey, saying he wished her the best!
