After watching Ang Mutya ng Section E, one thing that has all fans wondering is about the real-life relationship between Jay-Jay and Keifer, aka Jayfer. Is that just acting, or is something real going on behind the scenes?

The Filipino drama, based on one of the best-selling Wattpad novels, has become a global hit among drama lovers, thanks to the electric chemistry between Ashtine Olviga (Jay-Jay) and Andres Mulach, who stole hearts with the portrayal of Keifer. The more the story unfolds on screen, the more fans are convinced the bond we see isn’t entirely fictional.

Even though the scenes they share in Ang Mutya ng Section E are full of charm, tension, and love, fans are convinced that it's more than that. The idea that Ashtine and Andres, aka Ashdres, might be more than just co-stars has grown as a result of interviews, press conferences, and social media posts.

However, neither Ashtine Olviga nor Andres Mulach has confirmed or denied the dating rumors. The co-stars do share a close bond and often speak highly about each other, but that doesn't confirm they are a couple.

But fans still love being amateur detectives, pointing out every eye contact and the interviews they share. Curious to know more about this Ashtine and Andres' dating rumors? Keep reading below!

Even though Ashtine Olviga and Andres Mulach haven't officially confirmed a relationship, fans are convinced they’re dating, and there’s a long list of reasons why. For starters, their interactions during interviews and behind-the-scenes footage often feel effortlessly natural.

The two are seen holding hands in behind-the-scenes goodies, Andres often gifting flowers to Ashtine, and the other cast members teasing them. Not only this, when Olviga was asked, "If Andres were a food?" the actress mentioned ice cream, which happens to be her favorite food.

There have also been social media moments that made fans do a double take. Olviga posted a series of photos from Ang Mutya ng Section E sets, and interestingly, the 19th slide always features Andres Mulach. In recent social media trends, it's a low-key way to express feelings without being too obvious.

In the same interview where Ashtine Olviga playfully said Andres would be ice cream if he were a food, she was also asked who between him and Rabin Angeles she sees as "boyfriend material." As expected, she chose Andres.

Ashtine Olviga shared that Andres Mulach is the type who takes relationships seriously. While it might seem like a small detail, it’s enough to spark theories that the two could be involved but are keeping things low-key.

On the flip side, Andres hasn’t exactly shut down the speculation either. In one of his interviews, he mentioned that Ashtine makes him laugh a lot, something fans took as a sweet and personal detail.

And if you go back to one of his older interviews, he’d previously said that his ideal partner would be someone who makes him happy and stays loyal. With all these clues, it's hard for viewers not to connect the dots.
