We were filming a vlog for Squad Plus and then Lex was guesting. But after that guesting she had nothing to do with the Squad Plus anymore. After her guesting she was just there for three minutes but she waited for me to finish all my vlogs for Squad Plus. It wasn’t short either. It took like six hours. She waited from 9 am to 9 pm so that’s really long. When everything was done, we were just sitting on the couch and she was sleeping on my shoulder. As in she was really sleeping. She couldn’t handle the antok na so I just took her hand and I took my ring and then I just put it on her finger. And then I said, ‘Oh it’s too big but it looks nice on you (laughs).’ But when she woke up she noticed the ring,” he explained.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/2/3/fresh-scoops/kd-estrada-itinuturing-na-blessing-si-alexa-ilaca-198348'>READ: KD Estrada, itinuturing na blessing si Alexa Ilacad</a>Upon realizing that KD put a ring on her finger, Alexa said she did not assume that it was a promise ring. She also shared how important the piece of jewelry was to KD.“No naman. Hindi naman ako ganun ka-advanced mag-isip (laughs). Of course I woke up kasi I felt him touching my finger tapos sinuot niya nga yung singsing. I really didn’t think much of it naman kasi he knows naman na mahilig ako sa alahas so naisip ko na baka sinukat lang or tinignan niya lang. I don’t know. So I asked him and sabi ko ‘Why?’ Sabi niya, ‘Wala lang.’ Ang labo din ng sagot. Tapos sabi niya sa akin na lang daw. So sabi ko, ’Sure ka? You can get it naman if you want it back.’ Akala ko pahiram lang. Kasi that ring is so special to him eh. He would always tell me na first ring niya yun. Binigay ng mom niya. And special naman talaga yung Cartier na ring grabe. So sabi ko, ‘Sure ka ba? Sure ka na? Last chance. Akin na ‘to! (laughs)’ Binigay naman niya. hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala. I always ask him, ‘Uy if you want it back you can get it ah.’ I always ask him that kasi alam ko naman na special talaga yun so nahihiya din ako tanggapin,” she said. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/2/1/fresh-scoops/alexa-ilacad-and-kd-estrada-record-first-song-coll-198308'>READ: Alexa Ilacad and KD Estrada record first song collaboration</a>Even though they have yet to make it official, KD said this was the first ever time he has given a woman a ring.“First time na ring. Kasi I have somewhat of a sentimental value sa mga rings ko and my accessories because all of them have a certain meaning to me. Especially the first ring, that’s the most loved ring that I have. I think giving it to Lex was like a symbol. It’s very symbolic talaga,” he added.
