Keanna Reeves reveals ‘PBB’ love story

Keanna Reeves recently took a trip down memory lane, revisiting her time in the Pinoy Big Brother house. As the first-ever Big Winner of PBB Celebrity Edition in 2006, her experiences within those iconic walls have remained a topic of interest.

During her appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, the actress opened up about her feelings for fellow housemate, John Prats. When directly asked by host Boy Abunda if she fell in love inside the house, Keanna’s response was a telling, “Parang, Tito Boy...”

She admitted to developing feelings for John Prats, revealing that they became close friends. However, she also acknowledged the complexities of their situation, stating that John reportedly had a girlfriend upon entering the PBB house, and that they had apparently broken up afterwards.

Keanna clarified that she understood her feelings were confined to the PBB environment. “So, sa loob lang ‘yon. Dahil hindi mo maiiwasan Tito Boy eh. Tapos guwapo rin naman si John Prats (So, it’s because it was all inside. Because it could not be avoided. And John Prats is handsome, too, Tito Boy),” she explained.

She also expressed that she did not expect that the feelings would continue outside of the PBB house.

Adding to the emotional rollercoaster, Keanna shared an incident where she cried after John Prats spoke to “Kuya” about their on-camera kisses. She felt hurt when she learned that John had likened their kisses to that of a mother and son. “Kasi nagki-kiss kami sa lips noon. Tapos nagreklamo siya kay Kuya na baka raw ma-misinterpret sa labas. Tapos siya naman ang lapit nang lapit. Siya naman ang kiss nang kiss (Because we were kissing on the lips then. And she told Kuya that those kisses may be misinterpreted outside. But he was the one who kept on being near. He was the one who kept kissing),” she added, expressing her confusion.

Despite the emotional turmoil, Keanna revealed that the incident ultimately strengthened their friendship. “Tapos lumalayo na ako sa kanya. Tapos umiyak siya kasi nag-sorry siya. Tapos naging mas close kami (And so I kept my distance. And he was crying to me, saying he was sorry. Then we became closer),” she recounted.

Keanna Reeves’ candid recollection offers a glimpse into the emotional intensity of the Pinoy Big Brother experience, and the complexities of relationships formed within its unique environment.
