Andrea Brillantes—aka Blythe—marked her 23rd birthday with a familiar face that fans didn’t expect to see—one of the “ABCD Girls” Criza Taa.

In a series of Instagram stories, Criza and Blythe pose side by side both smiling for the camera during the 23rd birthday celebration of Blythe. 

The sighting quickly gained traction across social media platforms, where fans have been closely monitoring the status of their friendship.

Speculation about a rift began after netizens noticed the actresses’ lack of public interactions, including the absence of social media exchanges and joint appearances. Neither Brillantes nor Taa has addressed the rumors.

The birthday gathering, attended by several personalities from the entertainment industry, marked the first time in recent months that the two were seen together publicly. As of writing, both parties have yet to release statements regarding the viral photo.

For months, eagle-eyed fans have pointed to their lack of interactions on social media and absence from each other’s milestones as “proof” of tension. This series of posts has been read as more than just a party snap. For some, it signals a quiet reconciliation; for others, it’s simply two former close friends being in the same room again.

Whether it’s closure, coincidence, or simply good timing, it is certain that in an industry where relationships often play out in public, even the smallest interactions rarely go unnoticed.
