Manila – While the internet buzzes with speculations and fan theories surrounding the rumored breakup of young celebrity couple Kyline Alcantara and Kobe Paras, many were quick to notice one thing: Benjie Paras, Kobe’s father, has remained completely silent through it all.

And now, insiders close to the Paras family have revealed the real reason behind that silence—and it’s not what people expected.

“He’s protecting his son, not just from the media, but from emotional pressure,” a source shared.
“Benjie knows how brutal showbiz can be when it comes to love lives. He’s letting Kobe handle things his way.”

A Father’s Quiet Support

Benjie, a former basketball icon turned actor, has always been vocal when celebrating his children’s victories. But when it comes to personal matters like heartbreak, he prefers to stay in the background.

“He doesn’t believe in adding fuel to the fire. For him, silence is respect—for both Kobe and Kyline.”

This approach, according to close friends, reflects Benjie’s belief that real maturity is shown in restraint, especially in the age of online drama and clout-chasing.

Still a Fan of Kyline?

Though he has not made any public statement, fans also noted that Benjie has not deleted or unfollowed any old posts or photos involving Kyline, signaling that there may still be no ill will from his side.

“He cared for her as part of the family. That doesn’t just vanish,” one netizen wrote.

What Happens Next?

Neither Kobe nor Kyline has officially confirmed the breakup, but their lack of interaction and cryptic social media posts have only fueled the rumors. As for Benjie, those close to him say he will continue to stand by his son quietly, away from the cameras and without throwing shade.
