The showbiz industry can often be a high-stakes and high-pressure environment that’s made worse by the fact it’s played out in the public spotlight. As such, the idea some people get is that celebrities engage in petty squabbles and jealousy among their fellow stars. But that is not the full story. In a world where some would rather engage in fan wars or pit people against each other, these following celebrities aren’t afraid to show their love and appreciation to their fellow stars. Whether it be co-workers, people they admire, partners, or friends, these famous faces prove that the limelight isn’t all that cutthroat.
BIANCA UMALI AND RURU MADRID
From the screen to the runway, Bianca and Ruru are that power couple we all want to root for. But if you thought these two actors couldn’t raise the bar any further, they did when Bianca revealed on Instagram that Ruru surprised her at the airport. “After working far far away for how many days – I’ve been missing my person so bad and we weren’t sure when we would see each other again because of our schedules,” she captioned.
In turns out that she was in for a sweet surprise when her “sweet driver” aka Ruru picked her up. “I missed u…. di ako mapapagod na pasayahin ka araw-araw katulad nalang ng ipinangako ko sayo,” wrote Ruru in the comments section. All we can say is sana all.
CELESTE CORTESI AND MICHELLE DEE
Celeste and Michelle’s pageant journeys have crossed paths multiple times. But even with all the pressure of the pageant world, these two have nothing but love for each other.

And now that it’s Michelle’s turn to compete at Miss Universe, Celeste is rooting for her sister. As she shared in an interview, “I really wish her all the best. I think she’s got it and she can really bring home the crown. I just want her to enjoy every minute of it.” We love queens supporting queens.

The best kind of friendship is the one that stays with you through multiple chapters of your life. That’s the bond Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes have.

Friends who slay roles together, stay together.

Naturally, Bella had nothing but kind words as she thanked her Filipina sister for agreeing to do the role.
HANNAH AND DONNY PANGILINAN
While brothers and sisters can have their arguments, they can also form a bond that few things in this world can replicate.

That was on full display during Donny’s 25th birthday as Hannah took to her Instagram stories to share the most wholesome three-part birthday message to her kuys.
JENNICA GARCIA AND JANINE GUTIERREZ
