Pinoy Big Brother

edit

In 2018, Fedelin participated in the first batch of Pinoy Big Brother: Otso as a housemate, where he was evicted in the last eviction of that batch.[2]

Acting career

edit

Fedelin appeared in various soap operas after his stint in Pinoy Big Brother, such as Kadenang Ginto[3] and Huwag Kang Mangamba.[4] The love team pairing of Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin were tested for the first time with their new drama series Dirty Linen by ABS-CBN and Dreamscape Entertainment in 2023. Prior to the on going loveteam of the FranSeth, it was disclosed by Andrea Brillantes in April of the preceding year (2022) that Seth Fedelin and Andrea Brillantes had maintained a private relationship spanning over two years. [5]

In a media interview on their movie “My Future You,” and after 5 years of their love team, they declared they solely desire to be dubbed as "FranSeth" — not be the next KathNiel. "We don't want to be KathNiel. We are, and we want to be FranSeth," Fedelin remarked. Francine Diaz further stressed, "We can't replace KathNiel."[6]
