As the wedding bells chime for the much-anticipated union of Dominic Roque and Bea Alonzo, the guest list reveals a blend of friendship and estrangement among the stars. While the acclaimed actress Kathryn Bernardo has received her invitation to the grand celebration, her former flame, Daniel Padilla, seems to be conspicuously absent from the festivities.
Dominic Roque candidly shared with reporters that the invite extended solely to Kathryn Bernardo, hinting at unresolved issues with Daniel Padilla that date back to 2020. “It’s only Kath (Bernardo). DJ (Padilla) and I haven’t been on talking terms since 2020,” Dominic revealed, shedding light on the prolonged silence that has loomed between them. The actor, now 33, recounted the days when he was an integral part of the “Nguya Squad,” a celebrity circle that included Daniel Padilla, Kathryn Bernardo, and other notable personalities.
Despite the underlying tension, Dominic remains optimistic about the wedding preparations, mentioning that the final entourage is yet to be confirmed. He did, however, assure that his closest friends, including Patrick, Marco, and Khalil, will stand by his side during the ceremony.
The cause of the rift between Dominic and Daniel remains undisclosed, although the shift in their dynamics became apparent to the public in September 2021. Observations of their reduced interactions and the eventual unfollowing on Instagram sparked speculations among fans.
In the midst of these developments, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla’s long-standing relationship came to an end in November of the previous year, adding another layer to the narrative. The news was followed by Kathryn’s decision to unfollow Daniel on Instagram.
On a brighter note, the preparations for Dominic and Bea’s wedding are in full swing, with the couple diligently arranging everything from the Save the Date in January to the intricate details involving their families, friends, and esteemed guests. As the date approaches, anticipation grows for what promises to be a memorable and possibly dramatic gathering of the stars.
