Rumors that Piolo and Shaina have been dating on-and-off began when the two left the 2013 Star Magic Ball together. In 2016, the two were spotted dancing together at the Star Magic Ball. 

In 2017, Piolo reportedly wanted to take Shaina to the ball. That year, he described his relationship with Shaina as “exclusively dating,” while Magdayao refused to put any label into the supposed relationship. 

In 2018, Pascual said he and Magdayao have been in a relationship “close to six years,” but did not specify if it was romantic. Later that year, he stressed that they were not dating. 

Although Piolo and Shaina walked solo at last year’s ABS-CBN Ball, Shaina called Piolo “my perennial” and “my constant” in an Instagram post.
