The most anticipated annual sports event in showbiz, the Star Magic All-Star Games, happened on Sunday, July 20. Kapamilya stars and guest pro players served aces, drained threes, and spiked their way to glory at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
But while the on-court action had us cheering, the off-court moments featuring our favorite pairs made our hearts do somersaults. Boy, did Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano deliver full-on kilig! The captain and his cheerleader were giving campus rom-com feels.
Donny had a huge responsibility on his shoulders as he took the captain's seat for the Star Magic Shooting Stars in their basketball rematch against Cong TV’s Anibilabol Basketbol Team, whom they first faced off with back in 2023. The pressure was definitely on, but Belle’s courtside cheers and unwavering support sure brought him a much-needed confidence boost.
These two haven’t confirmed anything about being in a relationship, but our 'delulu' hearts felt like watching Belle cheer for Donny was basically watching her on girlfriend duty.
One photo in this gallery shows her holding a giant Donny bubblehead like it’s just another courtside essential. And at one point in the game—during those crucial final seconds when it looked like Team Anbilabol might actually catch up—Belle was spotted standing courtside, feeling the nerves like the rest of us.
But she was also one of the proudest in the crowd when the final buzzer sounded and Donny’s Star Magic Shooting Stars team secured the championship. Donny was also named part of the Mythical 5, and you just know Belle was beaming with pride like it was her win too.
