Friendship is all there is between Barbie Forteza and Jameson Blake.

Blake clarified the real score between them after a photo of them holding hands surfaced on social media and went viral.

"Honestly, we are not together," Blake said in a text message to talent manager and vlogger Ogie Diaz.

"The reason why nahuli kami (we were caught) holding hands is andami kasing tao na nagpa-picture sa kanya (many people want a photo with her). I was just assisting her palabas," he explained.

"Gets ko naman people will think different. Kumbaga, crowd control ako that time. Inalalayan ko lang si Barbie. (I just assisted Barbie)," he added.

Forteza and Blake were seen in a marathon twice, the latest was in Pampanga where they were photographed holding hands in a pose for a kiddie fan.
