Pop culture, and society in general, tends to pressure friendships between a boy and a girl into something more. If you have a close friendship with a member of the opposite sex, there will be people out there who assume that there is something more even when there isn’t. No truer is this than in the world of showbiz. In an industry often fueled by gossip, dating rumors and speculation can run rampant when a male and female star are spotted together.
But even with all that, some don’t let the gossip ruin their unproblematic friendship. Not only do these following pairs have an amazing relationship, but they also prove that there’s nothing wrong with guys and girls being close friends.

Some friendships go beyond just seeing each other and hanging out. Some hit on a deeper level that can fundamentally change a person. That’s the friendship Joshua Garcia found with Kathryn Bernardo.
