Bela Padilla confirmed that she is in a new relationship.

In her most recent Instagram post, actress Bela Padilla posted photos of her and boyfriend Norman Ben Bay taken in Turkey. “The one I met in St. Gallen,” she wrote, referring to the movie ‘Meet Me in St Gallen,’ which she did with Carlo Aquino in 2018.

Prior to this, she shared a photo of her taken in Cappadocia, Turkey.

Initially, she noted that she waited for her swab test result before leaving the Philippines.

“I waited till my swab test result came back negative before posting anything. And I didn’t think I’d leave the country at all this year, but life really has to start moving again,” said Bela.

Then she captioned her photo, confirming that she is indeed in Cappadocia, Turkey. She also noted that it is one of her safe havens and admired its beauty. She also added that she will be sharing more about her trip in the future.

“As seen in this photo, my head is still up in the clouds in Cappadocia. I’m really super thankful that my job takes me to places I’ve never been before or never thought I’d go to…because honestly, I’m not one to go to touristy places, so Cappadocia was low on my list of places to visit. But now, I consider it one of my safe havens.

“Cappadocia is so beautiful and charming. They have great food and wine and even better people. I luckily got to meet some of the best ones! Their street animals are kind and calm, a great testament to how they’re treated. And the view is just beautiful from any point. (My peripherals haven’t been as blessed as they have in the last two weeks.) I love everything about this trip so so much. So I’ll slowly share what I went through in Cappadocia,” said Bela.

She also tagged Norman Ben Ray that took the photo. The two also had an exchange in the comment section of the Instagram post.

“You are truly a professional when it comes to captions,” said Norman.

“hahahaha you truly are a professional at making me smile,” Bela replied.

“quod erat demonstrandum,” replied Norman.

To translate quod erat demonstrandum is used to convey that a fact or situation demonstrates the truth of one’s theory or claim, especially to mark the conclusion of a formal proof.

In an earlier report, people have speculated that she was on a trip to Turkey, and it raised rumors that she was with her boyfriend. Bela has yet to confirm that she is in a relationship.
