Liza Soberano TRULY CONFESSES a SURPRISING CONFESSION: She and Enrique Gil have been separated for 3 years – What REALLY HAPPENED BEHIND their breakup?

For years, the LizQuen duo—Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil—has been known as one of the sweetest and most envied love teams in showbiz. From blockbuster movies, nationwide hit TV series, to sweet moments on social media, for many fans, they are the “endgame.” But this week, an explosion shook the entertainment world: Liza Soberano herself confirmed that she and Enrique Gil have been separated for three years.

It’s been a long time since it was last.

In an exclusive interview on a popular talk show, Liza couldn’t hold back from revealing a long-held secret.

“Yes, we’ve been separated for three years now. We just never announced it,” said Liza, her voice visibly shaking.

According to the actress, she has been holding back from speaking out for a long time out of respect for their fans and their projects together. But now that she is freer in her career path, she decided this was the right time to tell the truth.

The first signs of trouble

It can be recalled that in mid-2021, fans noticed that photos and posts of Liza and Enrique together seemed to be becoming rarer. From the almost daily sweet updates, their social media accounts became quiet.

Many speculations have surfaced—some said they might just be busy with work, others said their love team might just be “resting.” But according to Liza, they had been going through tough times in their relationship since then.

“We were growing in different directions. I wanted to explore new things, and he had his own priorities,” dagdag pa niya.

Silence and pressure from the industry

One of the reasons why they didn’t immediately admit their separation was the intense pressure from the showbiz industry. There are contracts and endorsements tied to their image as a couple.

An insider said: “There is a lot of money at stake for the LizQuen duo. If they admit it then, a lot of projects will be lost.”

The source also said that there were big names in the industry who insisted on maintaining the illusion of their relationship for “fan service.”

The weight of the secret

While smiling in front of the camera, Liza and Enrique both carry the weight of what they are going through. According to Liza, it’s hard to pretend to be happy when you know that everything is over a long time ago.

“It felt like we were living a lie. I wanted to be honest with myself and with everyone who supported us,” paliwanag niya.

There were times, he said, when he wanted to release an open letter to his fans, but his management and the people around him stopped him.

Personal reasons

Aside from career differences, Liza admitted that there were also personal reasons for their separation.

“We had different goals in life. I wanted to pursue opportunities abroad, he wanted to focus on building his life here,” sabi niya.

He did not elaborate on other issues, but he assured that there was no third party involved.

Fans’ reaction

After the confession, #LizQuen and #WeLoveYouLiza immediately trended on Twitter. While many were saddened and cried at the news, some also expressed support and respect for their decision.

One fan said: “It hurts, but I’d rather know the truth than pretend they’re okay.”

There are also some who can’t believe it, and hope that the two might get back together in the future.

Enrique is silent.

Until now, Enrique Gil has remained silent about Liza’s statement. According to a friend of the actor, he was not surprised by what his ex-girlfriend did and he knew that the day would come when they would also confess to the public.

Some say that Enrique may give a separate interview in the coming weeks to present his side.

What’s next for Liza?

Currently, Liza is more focused on her international projects and advocacy work. She is determined to build a career that is no longer tied to a love team.

“I will always be grateful for what we had, but it’s time for me to grow on my own,” saad ng aktres.

A broader issue

This revelation has reopened the discussion about the pressure on love teams in the Philippines. In an industry where romance is used as a marketing tool, many artists are forced to maintain an image that is no longer true just to maintain their careers.

The case of Liza and Enrique is an example of how the showbiz system affects the personal happiness of artists.

Liza’s last message

Before the interview ended, Liza gave a message for her fans:

“Thank you for loving us all these years. Even if we’re no longer together, I hope you can still support us individually. This is not the end, just a new chapter.”

And to those wondering if there is still a possibility that she and Enrique will get back together, Liza just smiled and said: “Only time will tell.”
