Andrea Brillantes Just Soft-Launched Her New Beau—Here's What We Know So Far

Andrea Brillantes might have just entered the new year with a new beau. 👀 And well, we're more than happy to see our November 2025 cover girl thriving in all aspects of her life, including her love life.

There hasn't been any grand or official confirmation from Blythe just yet—but a soft-launch photo, paired with another set of uploads from her speculated boyfie, was enough for the Internet to put two and two together.

On January 3, 2026, Blythe posted a bunch of her Christmas and HNY pics, two including Lorin Gutierrez and KATSEYE's Sofia Laforteza. Notably, there was a snap of her holding a beautiful bouquet and one where she's hugging a guy who didn't show his face. Regardless of the faceless, soft launch pic, Blythe openly tagged Franchesko Juan Capistrano's Instagram account.

According to PEP.ph, Franchesko, also fondly called Pankie, is one of the sons of Francis Julian Capistrano and Gertrude Kristine Valde, who are both known for their family's business ventures widely in the province of Quezon. Their family owns the famous Batis Aramin Resort and Hotel, where Blythe had also been spotted playing pickleball a couple of weeks ago.

Blythe's IG post wasn't actually the first time that they had a photo posted on IG. In fact, a day before the celebrity posted, Franchesko had already shared a photo of them together on his Instagram Story—yes, just the two of them!

The photo was taken during the 2026 New Year's countdown in BGC. Blythe rang in the new year with Franchesko's family. The two looked happy, welcoming 2026 together! 💖

Aside from their New Year posts, Blythe and Franchesko have been spotted together with their friends earlier in December 2025. The two went on a trip to La Union with their friends, which included Mona Alawi and Danica Ontengco.

Even if they didn't have any sweet pics back then, just casual ones with friends, fans have already been commenting and linking Blythe and Franchesko together.

Andrea's romantic history has long been a topic of conversation. In the past, she's been linked to a few people, putting her love life in the spotlight. And even though the Internet may think it knows everything about her love life, the actress went through a lot privately, on her own terms.

In our cover story interview, Blythe opened up about learning about love in painful ways. She's had her fair share of ups and downs when it comes to her past relationships.

"Nagmakaawa na ako, nag-Angkas ako in the middle of the night nagmamakaawa ako kahit ako na yung minali… Kinalimutan ko talaga yung sarili ko, inuna ko sila. Hanggang sa na-realize ko, mali lang talaga yung taong minahal ko," Blythe shared.

Then she added, "Love is so painful. Natutunan ko yan. Pero natutunan ko [rin] na with the right love, you don't have to disregard yourself or discard anyone. Hindi mo kailangan i-torture sarili mo for love."

She goes on proclaiming, "If it's the right love, it doesn't have to be hard. I mean, lahat ng pagmamahal, paghihirapan mo yan."
