The world is evolving, indeed.

During her teen life as an idol after being a child actress, Kathryn Bernardo was teamed up with Daniel Padilla in an ensemble film "24/7 in Love" which became a monster hit.


After their initial screen partnership, Kathryn and Daniel became household names that brought forth a portmanteau, KathNiel.


Their loveteam became popular that extended to their personal lives as lovers until they parted ways after ten years of togetherness.


Kathryn was paired off in the movies with other leading men like Alden Richards in "Hello, Love, Goodbye" and "Hello, Love Again" which were both big hits.


Meanwhile, Bernardo's contemporary, Nadine Lustre treaded almost the same path of career movement especially during her stint as a popular girl idol.


Nadine was professionally and romantically linked with James Reid who was initially groomed by ABS-CBN but was given bigger breaks by Viva Films, particularly signing up as a love interest of Lustre.


The Nadine-James film project "Diary ng Pangit" was a box-office wonder that established the JaDine moniker as a byword in the public expression.


Lustre and Reid had a romance as well but they also broke up after years of union.


After their split, Nadine went solo onscreen that tested her versatility and found herself in the company of other actors.


Now Nadine has Alden Richards as a leading man in a TV co-production between GMA Network and Viva Films.


According to entertainment reporter Tonee Coraza, the arrangement in love teaming is simply, changing partners.


Kathryn, James, Alden and Nadine are changing partners, really.


Where does Daniel place himself?


Kathryn is being teamed up with James in ABS-CBN's teleserye, "Someone Someday" while Nadine is being partnered with Alden in "Love, Siargao."


Let's see whose love team scores the most?
