On-screen love team Kim Chiu and Xian Lim have, for the first time, admitted on television that they are seeing each other exclusively.

PEP.ph reports that in the July 30 episode of the morning talk show Kris TV, host Kris Aquino asked the young stars about the status of their relationship. Xian was hesitant to admit anything at first, saying that he does not want to put a label on their current setup.

"I always say it's unfair to even put a label on it. It's more of nandito kami para sa isa't isa (It’s more of we’re here for each other)," he said.

Xian's statement made Kris ask if he and Kim are exclusively seeing each other, to which the couple replied in the affirmative.

Though Xian still remained uncomfortable about labeling their relationship, Kim seemed happy enough with their situation.

"Yeah, masaya naman kami. Walang pressure na nagaganap at walang obligation," she had said. "Ako kasi ngayon, ine-enjoy ko muna. Kung siya talaga, gusto ko makilala niya muna ang family ko. Since wala siyang friends, friends na rin niya ang kapatid ko (Yes, we’re happy. There's no pressure and there are no obligations. Right now, I’m just enjoying it. If he’s really the one, I want him to meet my family first. Since he doesn’t have friends, my siblings can be his friends.)."

However, when Kris asked Xian if he has already told Kim that he loves her, he only said that many people do.

"Sinasabi ko sa kanya, maraming nagmamahal sa kanya, including na rin ako (I always tell her that many people love her, myself included),” he said. "People are willing to protect her. Kung malungkot siya (If she’s sad), people are going to want to bring her up. People are going to be by her side."
