Former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate Kiara Takahashi surprised her fans when she revealed something about her loveteam with Gino Roque, known as “KiaNo.”
Her TikTok live session on Thursday morning, July 27, 2023, went viral and became a topic of discussion. In the live video, she disclosed how their alleged romantic moments were “scripted” and forced to please their fans.
Kiara and Gino were both part of PBB: Otso, and their close relationship inside the house gained a lot of fans. However, Kiara did not expect things to change after they left the PBB house.
According to Kiara, it felt like a business partnership with Gino, where all their actions and movements were planned according to an agreed-upon script. She shared a story of a date where Gino asked her to hide to create an impression of him courting her, even if she didn’t agree with it.
Kiara expressed discomfort about always being followed by cameras during their supposed dates. She also mentioned a mall show in Pampanga, where Gino told her not to hold hands, to act shy, and pretend that they were not close, just to please their fans.

Kiara clarified that she wasn’t saying Gino is a bad person but pointed out that their worlds and perspectives were different. She felt that Gino was more focused on the business aspect of their partnership, while she wanted a more genuine connection.
Kiara revealed her struggles with anxiety and depression due to not being able to defend herself for almost five years. She said that she decided to speak up to release the burden she has been carrying.
As of writing this article, Gino has not yet responded to Kiara’s statements.
