The four corners of the Philippine entertainment industry have been shaken by the news that Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla have called it quits after 11 years of being together. But aside from these two, the Philippines has been marred with several shocking celebrity breakups—rumors and facts. So, we’re about to enlist five of the hottest celebrity breakups in the country today, and we hope your avid fan hearts can take it.
Mavy Legaspi and Kyline Alcantara Rumored Breakup
Mavy Legaspi and Kyline Alcantara are said to be among the number of couples who have reportedly called it quits year. The rumors started with Kyline’s several cryptic social media posts as of late, including an Instagram story on November 28, talking about peace.
“I was taught that keeping quiet kept the peace. Until I realized, [whose] peace is it keeping,” the post read.
But before that, she also had an earlier post on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “I knew it.”
Though the two have yet to break their silence about the issue, many claim they have already parted ways. The Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) reported that a very reliable source claimed that the (former?) couple would release a joint statement to address their relationship status.
So far, nothing has come out yet as of this writing.
Elijah Canlas and Miles Ocampo Breakup
After over a two-year relationship, Elijah Canlas and Miles Ocampo have called it quits. The actor confirmed the news in an interview with ABS-CBN News on November 23, saying they had broken up a couple of months ago.
But despite that, Elijah revealed he would always have love for Miles and support her in her endeavors.
“And I’m always be her number one fan, basically,” he said. “But right now, we’re just taking our time figuring out ourselves and our lives right now.”
Elijah explained that he and Miles had been through different circumstances in their respective lives and wanted to sort things out on their own first.
“Well, yeah, we went through a rough patch recently, mainly because we’re going through our own personal stuff, and it’s been hard,” he explained. “So, we’re figuring things out.”
But despite the separation, Elijan confirmed that they’re both amicable.
Ricci Rivero and Andrea Brillantes Breakup
In June, Ricci Rivero announced his breakup with Andrea Brillantes and addressed the rumors that he had cheated on her with a beauty queen.
“I own up to the mistake of not making my relationship status public because I felt there’s no need to add up to what we’re going through. Please respect our decision to keep it to ourselves so that we can preserve what’s left of our friendship,” he said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“I hope let’s stop creating your own versions and dragging other characters into these false accusations. I am sorry for whatever disappointments it may have caused you – for everyone’s peace of mind, please allow ourselves to heal and move on peacefully without hate and pain,” he continued.
Talks about their split began when Andrea didn’t greet Ricci on his birthday in May on social media. Later, Ricci was seen in a now-deleted Instagram story of former Miss Universe Philippines candidate Leren Mae Bautista. As they say, there’s no smoke when there’s no fire.
Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez Rumored Breakup
Rumors about Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez’s split have been circulating online, especially after the couple stopped posting photos of them together on their respective social media pages. To add more fuel to the fire, the actress recently cut her hair short, which indicates a broken heart and a sign of moving on for many, and dropped the surname Gutierrez from her Instagram handle. However, she still uses SLG, which means Sarah Lahbati Gutierrez.
Though the two have remained mum about it, an alleged unimpeachable source, allegedly one of their close relatives who shared with a friend, confirmed to Daily Tribune that Sarah and Richard have broken up.
Though the reason behind the split remains unknown, with the name of Kazel Kinouchi being dragged into the issue, it’s said to be because Sarah is planning for a showbiz comeback, to which Richard disagrees.
Xian Lim and Kim Chiu Rumored Breakup
Another celebrity breakup rumor that has been the talk of the town is Xian Lim and Kim Chiu’s. The discussions about their alleged split also began when they were seldom seen with each other, especially during the actress’ recent vacations. Kim went to Balesin Island Club on November 20 with her family and traveled solo to California, USA.
She, too, hasn’t posted anything that includes Xian on her social media, and the last time was on July 30, 2023, when they went to Hong Kong together. To make the speculations grow much stronger, Xian didn’t congratulate Kim for the success of her latest TV series, Linlang, when it ended on November 16.
In a post on Instagram on November 11, Xian seemingly addressed the issue when he talked about a “hearsay,” but that didn’t clear things out between them. But in Kim’s latest interview on ABS-CBN News on November 27, she seemed to prove that the rumors were true when she said they wanted to “keep” the stand of their relationship status to themselves.
Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo Breakup
The breakup news that has shaken the Philippines to its very core is that of Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. After weeks of speculation, the two have finally broken their silence and released individual statements to confirm the news, much to the dismay of many.
Several names have also been dragged into the issue, like Gillian Vicencio and Andrea Brillantes. After Ogie Diaz revealed his unconfirmed source’s claim that Daniel and Andrea were secretly seeing each other, screenshot photos of a conversation claiming something happened between the actor and Gillian had been circulating online.
Filipino fans are known for their love for celebrities, especially rumors, so their interest in these love teams and couples isn’t surprising. However, amid the obsession with fame and these superficial, perfect-looking love stories, fans should be reminded that no relationship is perfect, and even celebrities are going through real-life relationship problems.
