Reel and real-life couple James Reid and Nadine Lustre were named by Teen Vogue as the “Filipino Love Team You Need to Know” in an article published last August 1, Monday.
The US teen magazine introduced the concept of “love team” in the Philippine entertainment industry as “a heavy commitment that the stars take on, but similar to arranged marriages, the actors have a high chance of staying together on and off-camera. The secret is their willingness to work together — hence the term “team” — to meet the extremely high expectations of hopeless romanticism.”
The article then explored the humble beginnings of this phenomenal love team, which ultimately led to a real-life relationship.
The pair first started working together in James Reid’s music video, followed by their first film together: ‘Diary ng Panget’.
That’s when the JaDine love team started, the fans made the name,” James told Teen Vogue.
JaDine became the real deal when James publicly proclaimed his love for Nadine during their concert earlier in 2016, and the rest is history.
