When social media personality Xian Gaza posted a photo of Anthony Jennings and Maris Racal with “NICE SHOES” as caption, what it looked like was an innocent post.

But eagled-eyed netizens noticed it looked like Jennings and Racal were wearing identical shoes, black and white pairs of Adidas Samba.

Soon enough, tongues wagged.  Some believed the two actors have developed feelings for each other as they’re now working on their second series together, Incognito.  They first worked together in Can’t Buy Me Love.

Recall that Racal doused rumors that Jennings was the cause of her breakup with rockstar Rico Blanco.

“Huwag idamay si Anthony sa issue ng breakup namin ni Rico (Don’t drag Anthony into the breakup issue between me and Rico). Anthony is out of the picture here. It’s just mainly me and Rico. Mainly me, I’m the issue,” Racal said.
