Filipino social media users rushed to the comment section, either calling out the misinformation or setting the record straight.
“TMZ is not doing their research. Lol, pic 4 is an old photo of a Filipino celebrity couple who broke up years ago. I’m sure their respective partners won’t be happy if they spent CNY 2025 together,” one netizen commented.
Another one wrote: “I wanted to kindly point out that the fourth picture might be a bit outdated. The couple featured in it has parted ways a few years ago, and it would be great to remove it to respect their current situations, especially since the guy has found a new partner. They are both artists in the Philippines, so I’m sure they would appreciate your understanding. Thank you!”
Lim and Chiu broke up in December 2023 after 12 years of being together.
