The dynamic duo of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco, popularly known as the BarDa love team, recently set the internet abuzz with their enchanting TikTok video. This clip, a slow-motion capture of the pair running hand in hand, was perfectly accentuated by Taylor Swift’s melodious “Lover” in the background. This delightful share by David, accompanied by a humorous emoji and a tag to Barbie, certainly brought smiles and ‘kilig’ (a Filipino term for romantic excitement) to their fans.
Their chemistry isn’t just limited to social media; Barbie and David graced the cover of Mega Magazine, marking their first magazine cover together. Their presence transformed the streets of Hong Kong into a mesmerizing backdrop for the photoshoot. This pairing first captured hearts in the historical fantasy series “Maria Clara at Ibarra,” and continued to charm audiences in their first leading role in “Maging Sino Ka Man,” a remake of the classic ’90s film. Their journey together is set to continue with upcoming projects like “That Kind of Love” and a historical action-drama “Pulang Araw”.
