LizQuen fans have been expressing their disappointment on social media after Liza Soberano tagged her on-screen partner Enrique Gil as her best friend.

The young actress however, via her Twitter account, explains that this does not mean she’s friend-zoning the young actor:

I cant believe people still get mad for me saying he's my best friend? Is that a bad thing? 😂

Her next tweet gives LizQuen fans a silver lining:

Calling someone your best friend doesn't necessarily mean you are friend-zoning them. Things can develop, right?

So there. Liza is only 18 years old, perhaps she’s not yet ready to engage in a relationship. But she’s not closing her doors to Enrique, in fact, she admitted that the young actor is her long-time crush. And since Enrique admitted that he already has feelings for Liza, I know he can wait until his “Dolce Amore” leading lady becomes ready to put their loveteam to the next level.
