Mahigit isang buwan na ring umuugong ang usap-usapan na naghiwalay na ang celebrity couple na sina Kim Chiu at Xian Lim. Dalawang araw mag-Pasko ay binigyang-linaw na ng dalawa na totoo nga; nag-break na sila matapos ang 12 taong nilang pagiging magkasintahan.
Unang nag-anunsyo ang aktres-host ng kanilang “end of a love story” sa kanyang Instagram account kalakip ang ilang larawan nilang magkasama.
Ang 33-anyos na dalaga ay sinimulan ang kanyang pagbabahagi sa “It took me a while to say this until today.”
Matatandaan na sa kabila ng maraming pagtatanong sa kanya sa telebisyon ay hindi siya nagsalita kaugnay sa diumano’y ‘hiwalayan’ nila ng kasintahang si Xian.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “We owe our supporters the truth, but we also respect each other’s time of healing. In a relationship, love is always a significant factor, but sometimes love is not enough.”
Paliwanag niya, “We shared more than a decade of love, each other’s support system, and many beautiful memories. It was our mutual decision to transition our relationship into what we hope to be a lifelong friendship. We thank all our followers for their love and support, but now we ask you to appreciate our honesty and give us the privacy we need as we begin new chapters of our lives. To all our supporters, maraming salamat for all the love and understanding.”
Sunod naman ay pinasalamatan niya si Xian sa mahigit isang dekada nilang pinagsamahan. Aniya, “Thank you for the almost 12 years of beautiful memories together one can never imagine. You will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for showing me what love is.”
Bilang pagtatapos, hiniling niya na “As we close this chapter, I ask for everyone’s kindness and respect. I hope this clears everything as we all move forward with our lives.”
Bumuhos naman ang puso at yakap sa kanyang tinuran mula sa mga kaibigan at IG followers.
Humigit-kumulang isang oras naman ang nakalipas nang ang letter post naman ni Xian para kay Kim ang umagaw ng pansin sa IG.
Kalakip ang limang larawan nila na magkasama, sinimulan ng 34-anyos na actor ang kanyang open letter sa pagpapasalamat kay Kim sa mahabang panahon na nagmahalan sila.
Aniya, “Dearest Kim, thank you for the long years we have spent loving each other.”
“The 12 years of my life with you was the best gift I could ever ask for. We have expressed our love for each other to the fullest and knowing that I got to share those moment with you, knowing our hearts beat as one at one point in our lives is truly something I will cherish for life.
Pagpapatuloy niya sa madamdaming post, “Like all good things, it must eventually come to an end. I am grateful for all the moments we shared together. Thank you for all the unconditional love throughout the years. My respect and admiration for you as a person, as an artist, and as someone I spent more than a decade with will always remain.”
“I wish that you will find all the happiness and love you are searching for. You deserve nothing but the best,” dagdag pa nito. “No goodbyes here, i’ll see you around petunia” 🌸 @chinitaprincess
Hindi na nagulat ang marami sa kanilang kumpirmasyon dahil sa simula ng Disyembre pa lang ay inalis ng Kapuso actor ang mga YouTube videos niya kabilang na ang vlogs na ginawa nila ni Kimmy; palatandaan na hindi nga maayos ang kanilang relasyon bukod pa sa mga pag-iwas nila na pag-usapan ang mga bulong-bulungan sa industriya na nagkakalabuan na sila.
Bitaw naman ng ilang fans, “May nag-break na sa record ng KathNiel na 11 years.”
