Kapuso stars Barbie Forteza and David Licauco once again thrilled fans with their undeniable chemistry after a playful interaction that quickly went viral.
In a video posted on Sparkle GMA Artist Center’s Instagram, the Maria Clara at Ibarra stars engaged in a lighthearted game of “Crush Ka Ba ng Crush Mo?” where they asked each other if their crushes liked them back.
David took the first turn, asking Barbie if her crush felt the same way. Without hesitation, she replied:
“Hindi e.”
When Barbie returned the question to David, his response left fans intrigued:
“Sana.”
Surprised by his uncertainty, Barbie teased him further:
“Hindi mo sure!? Sayang. Tayo na lang kaya?”

Barbie’s reaction was priceless—she widened her eyes, turned to the camera, and looked visibly caught off guard by David’s response, sending BarDa fans into a frenzy online.
The video quickly gained traction, with fans expressing their excitement and hope for a real-life romance between the two stars.
While many fans gushed over the exchange, others speculated whether this was just for fun or if there was something more behind their growing closeness—especially after Barbie confirmed her breakup with long-time boyfriend Jak Roberto last January.
Barbie and David first rose to fame as an on-screen pair through their hit historical-fantasy drama ‘Maria Clara at Ibarra’, earning the love of fans both locally and internationally. Since then, their love team, dubbed BarDa, has continued to gain traction with their undeniable chemistry.
