The initial sparks of their connection ignited in the late 1980s when they first shared the screen. Both rising stars at the time, Lapid and Tolentino quickly forged a bond that extended beyond their professional collaboration. The depth of their on-screen connection has resonated with audiences for decades, resulting in the development of a devoted fan base who affectionately refer to them as "Primanda." Their collaboration in the FPJ's Batang Quiapo television series intensified this appeal, reigniting the publics attention and leading to the persistent rumours.

The launch of Pep.ph's web show, "Troika Talk," on September 14, 2024, further brought the pair into the spotlight. While Senator Lapid has been direct in his denials, the air around Lorna Tolentino remains more enigmatic. When pressed by the entertainment press, she has opted for ambiguous responses, neither confirming nor denying the whispers of a relationship. During a media conference for their MMFF 2024 entry with Judy Ann Santos, directed by Chito Roo, Tolentino remained tight-lipped when asked about her rumored relationship with Lapid.

The public interest in their relationship isn't entirely new. In the latest episode of "Showbiz Updates" on Saturday, October 19, showbiz insider Ogie Diaz discussed the rumours, questioning if the two were truly in a romantic relationship. Adding fuel to the fire, the Kapamilya artist Fana released a music video for her song "Love Story Ko," featuring "FPJ's Batang Quiapo" stars Lorna Tolentino and Senator Lito Lapid. The music video has captured the hearts of many viewers, further solidifying their status as a beloved on-screen couple. "Eh ang dami kasing kinikilig kina Lorna at Lito, ha!" (There are so many people who are thrilled about Lorna and Lito!), exclaimed the delighted audience.

The public's fascination with the possibility of a romance between Lito Lapid and Lorna Tolentino is palpable. The talent manager, Manay Lolit Solis, has been vocal in her opposition to the rumoured affair, while the public continues to speculate, and to hope. This dynamic has kept the rumour alive, prompting further scrutiny and discussion.

One of the most recent displays of their on-screen chemistry occurred in "FPJ's Batang Quiapo". In a particular scene, a kissing scene between the two, Senator Lito Lapid commented, playfully referencing the 'kiliti' (tickle) they experience during such moments. This, along with the series' continued popularity, has made it hard for the fans to let go of the "Primanda" tandem.

Adding another layer to the story, Kapamilya artist Fana released a music video for her latest single, "Love Story Ko," which prominently features Tolentino and Lapid, both of whom are stars of FPJs Batang Quiapo. Lorna Tolentino's current involvement in a movie project with director Adolf Alix Jr. also keeps her name at the forefront of news. Further solidifying their continued success, Senator Lito Lapid has expressed his gratitude for his enduring acting career in 2024, which he attributes, in part, to the strength of his "love team" with Lorna Tolentino in the primetime series, "FPJ's Batang Quiapo."

While there is no confirmation or denial from Lorna Tolentino, the public's desire for a romantic relationship between the pair remains strong. Their combined star power continues to generate excitement, keeping the audience engaged and always eager for more. The speculation surrounding their bond persists, a testament to the enduring fascination with their careers and their undeniable chemistry. For now, their fans, fondly calling them the "Primanda" loveteam, eagerly anticipate the unfolding of their story, whether on or off the screen.
