James Reid and Issa Pressman have reacted to his viral "twinning" moment with his ex-girlfriend, actress Nadine Lustre at a recently concluded fashion event.

The rumored couple were all smiles as they talked about the "accidental twinning" incident in an interview with entertainment reporter MJ Felipe. "Yes, I saw that! Actually, Issa's the one that showed it to me. She was like, 'Oh my god, your outfits are matching,'" James said.

"They were picked out by the international Gucci team and it just turns out that our outfits matched and we looked great," he added.

Issa, meanwhile, pointed out that they both represented the luxury brand well in their gray ensembles.

"Clothes are clothes, right? They're both, like, Gucci ambassadors and they both repped it well. So, we're, like, good job to the Philippines for repping Gucci so well," she said.

James also recalled having so much fun with Issa and Liza Soberano at the affair, adding that it was nice seeing Nadine again as well. "It was great to see her, and yeah, it was a great night."

Issa and James sparked dating rumors last March, when they shared photos of each other during Harry Styles' Love on Tour concert in Manila. The photos included a mirror selfie as they held each other's hands.

But their "soft launch" got mixed reactions, as Issa had been accused of being a third party during James's relationship with Nadine Lustre. James and Nadine announced their breakup in January 2020, but said it actually happened in November 2019.

Days later, James took to Twitter and Instagram Story to address criticisms against Issa, saying past rumors about them "are just that, rumors."

Without explicitly confirming nor denying their relationship, James said he felt the need to speak up "now" because "this is the start of something beautiful,” which he said he won't let anyone take away from him.

“All you need to know from me," he said, "is that [I’m] the happiest I’ve ever been," he said.

Nadine is now in a relationship with French businessman Christophe Bariou.
