Kapuso actress LJ Reyes has confirmed that she and actor Paolo Contis have caled it quits.
In a teaser video of Boy Abunda’s one-on-one interview with Reyes, LJ admitted that they have been separated.
“It was so difficult, it was so painful,” she said when asked if the decision was mutual.
“Kung hindi malakas ’yung pananampalataya ko sa Panginoon, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupulutin,” she added.
LJ also revealed that she felt Paolo has distanced himself from them.
“Matagal ko nang nararamdaman na parang nakahiwalay na siya sa amin,” she said.
Earlier, radio host and showbiz columnist Lolit Solis said on Instagram: “Naku ha, smokescreen naman masyado iyon tsismis na isinasali sa hiwalayan Paolo Contis at LJ Reyes iyon pangalan ni Yen Santos Salve. Open secret naman o silent whisper kung sino talaga ang karelasyon ni Yen Santos noh! Huwag na siyang isali at baka kung ano pa ang lumabas. Mas shocking pa ang mangyari,”
Solis said that the two outgrew their romance.
“Walang 3rd party sa hiwalayan Paolo Contis at LJ Reyes. It was a matter of na outgrow na nila ang romance sa kanilang relasyon. Kesa naman humantong pa sa pag aaway, mas gusto na nila na maghiwalay ng maayos, at dasal na mag end as friends. Huwag na natin idamay pa si Yen Santos dahil may sarili siyang love story kaya hindi siya kasali sa love life nila Paolo at LJ noh,” she said.
“Huwag ng guluhin ang issue. Huwag ng magdagdag ng casting para hindi lumaki ang production cost, hah hah. Stop na natin script sa ending nila Paolo at LJ. Huwag ng dagdag subplot para hindi gumulo ang istorya. Ganuon lang iyon, nawala ang romance, stop, bago maging horror story. Bongga di ba Salve at Gorgy, ayaw nyo ng triangle love affair di bah,” Solis explained.
