How did Bela Padilla and Norman Bay meet?
Bela Padilla first met Norman Bay in 2017 while filming her film, Meet Me in St. Gallen, in Switzerland.
During the last day of shooting, her cast gathered for a small wrap-up party at a local bar.
Interestingly, Norman, who was then a college student completing his master’s studies, was also at the bar with friends, celebrating the end of exams and enjoying drinks.
One of the crew members invited Norman and his friends over, which led to their initial meeting.
Initially, their connection remained platonic. They became friends in 2017 and maintained that friendship for a while.
Despite living in different countries, they kept in touch through messages.
Their dynamic evolved, and by 2020, Bela and Norman officially began dating, transitioning from friends to something more.
