Joshua Garcia’s relationship with Fil-Am singer Bella Poarch appears to be developing.

The TikTok King believes Bella’s crush on Joshua is mutual after she admitted to having one.

In an interview with MJ Felipe for ABS-CBN, Joshua was asked if he had a crush on Bella.

He said, “Tulad ng sabi ko MJ, why not? Kasi ‘yung mga tao hinahangaan siya. Maganda, magaling kumanta. Crush lang naman, lahat naman tayo nagka-crush.”

Joshua revealed that they have been planning to meet since June, in response to Bella’s revelation that they have been messaging.

“Pero hindi natuloy ‘yung Star Magic Tour ko, hindi ako nakasama. Tapos July ata pupunta siya, pero hindi din naman natuloy… Yeah, hindi natin alam. We’re good friends, ngayon okay kami. Magkaibigan kami ngayon,” he stated.

“Hindi lang naman ‘hi, hello’ (‘yung usapan namin) kasi ang boring din naman kung ‘hi, hello’ lang. May konting katanungan at hinanap ko ang English ko pero nagta-Tagalog din naman pala siya.”

Joshua stated that he is looking forward to meeting Bella in person when she visits the country in December.

Bella first hinted at her feelings for Joshua in April, when she posted a clip of him singing on her TikTok account, which has 91.1 million followers.

The following month, Joshua reacted to Bella’s shirtless photos.

Joshua explained, “She posted me before sa TikTok account niya, and nag-comment ako dun kasi nagulat ako na na-a-appreciate niya ‘yung ginagawa ko. I think nakakataba lang ng puso kasi ako siyempre I’m happy na may nagsu-support or humahanga sa akin.”

In May, Joshua’s ex-girlfriend, Julia Barretto, advised him to avoid getting into relationship:  ‘Wag ka munang mag-gi-girlfriend.’”
