"Metro Talks," Featuring KD Estrada And Alexa Ilacad
Because they’re both passionate about music, it was only natural for both KD and Alexa to dream of having their own concert. But that dream not only turned into a reality sooner than they have expected, they also got to mark that milestone together.
Titled “Closer,” KD and Alexa’s fan con aimed to bring them closer to their dreams, closer to their fans, and closer to each other. With the vision of a laid-back event that’s like an acoustic jamming session, “Closer” highlighted the individual talents of these two artists, their onstage presence, and their chemistry (oh, the way they look at each other is enough to spread kilig all around!).
In between the song numbers, there were casual interviews with host Robi Domingo, who revealed that KD and Alexa are often seen holding each other’s hands off-cam. In his Metro Talks interview, KD said that “very close is an understatement” to define their relationship. That’s why he also commented at the fan con that it just comes “naturally” for him and Alexa to want to hold each other’s hands every chance they get.
At one point in the conversation, KD even told Alexa, “You’re the lyrics to my music,” acknowledging that they complement each other harmoniously since he is a skilled guitar player, she is talented in songwriting, and both of them can sing very well.

At the “Closer” fan con, KDLex sang their own compositions, making the event all the more special. But another highlight of the event was the birthday segment for Alexa, who just turned 22 also on February 26. KD surprised her with a bouquet of flowers and a white gold necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. What KD said after surely made many viewers’ hearts flutter: “Since it’s a heart, it’s like I’m giving you my heart.” This is the second time he gave her a piece of jewelry, the first one being a ring.
Joining the fan con to perform for KDLex fans were their fellow PBB housemate Shanaia Gomez and the winners of the Kumu campaign for their fan con, Justin Dizon and Bryan Claudio Deiparine.
Overall, the event had a phenomenal turnout, and that’s definitely just the beginning of more projects sure to come KDLex’s way. KD and Alexa are set to star in a Dreamscape series this year.
