THE BREAKUPS AMONG SHOWBIZ COUPLES
After the weddings come the break ups. In February, it was rumored that Kylie Padilla has parted ways with husband Aljur Abrenica. This was later confirmed by no less than her own dad, Robin Padilla. Aljur alleged that it’s Kylie who cheated first, but she denied this.
Devon Seron decided to part ways with Kiko Estrada in March after she found out he has another relationship, rumored to be Heaven Peralejo with whom Kiko is paired in a soap.
Kiko denied there’s a third party involved but later in May admitted that he’s indeed on with Heaven. It proved to be a short-lived affair as they also called it quits in September.
Jennica Garcia and Alwyn Uytingco separated in March but they have since reconciled and Alwyn even wrote a loving poem for Jennica on her birthday this month.
Kristoffer Martin confessed he has a 4-year old daughter with non-showbiz partner AC Banzon.
They broke up when he was paired with Liezel Lopez in a GMA soap. But after 6 months, he also broke up with Liezel and is now back with AC.
One of the most heart-breaking separations is that of LJ Reyes and Paolo Contis. It was in August that Lolit Solis, Paolo’s manager, confirmed that they’ve parted ways. The rumor is that Paolo is having an affair with Yen Santos, his leading lady in the movie “Faraway Land”.
Yen is said to be the girlfriend of a politician-producer but it seems they’ve broken up. Paolo denied that he’s on Yen. LJ left with her son and daughter to join her mother in New York where they now reside.
Their fans felt sad when Janine Gutierrez and Rayver Cruz parted ways. They say the reason is they just don’t have time for each other, this after Janine left GMA-7 to be a Kapamilya.
Janine was previously linked to Elmo Magalona who’s also a former Kapuso but is currently missing in action. Janine is now being linked to Paulo Avelino while Rayver is being linked to Julie Anne San Jose.
Former beauty queen-actress Maggie Wilson announced in September that she’s separating from her husband of 11 years, businessman Victor Consunji. She added that they will remain friends for their son, Connor.
Jomari Yllana had a bitter fight with live in partner Joy Reyes who accused him of not paying their P100,000 electric bill. It’s revealed later that he has reconciled with his very first girlfriend, Abby Viduya also known as Priscilla Almeda.
Those who also parted ways are social influencers Alodia Gosiengfiao and Will Dasovich, Miss Philippines Universe 2020 Rabiya Mateo and PBB housemate Neil Salvacion, Ciara Sotto and Fil-Am BF Ian Austin,
AJ Raval and PBB housemate Axel Torres. AJ was later linked to Aljur Abrenica but the feedback about their relationship is so negative that it didn’t prosper.
Among same sex relationships, writer-director Jun Lana announced on December 10 that he and producer-director Perci Intalan have parted ways after their marriage in New York in October 2013.
Miss Universe Philippines 2021 Beatrice Gomez also admitted she has parted ways with Cebu disc jockey Kate Jagdon before she represented our country in the Miss Universe pageant held in Israel.
Let's pray that all these couples find the healing they need and get to move on smoothly with their respective lives.
