Ikinagulat ng netizens ang naging rebelasyon ni Liza Soberano sa documentary podcast ng ni Sarah Bahbah noong Huwebes.
Inamin ng aktres sa naturang panayam ng Arab Australian artist na tatlong taon na silang magkahiwalay ni Enrique Gil.
March 7, 2023 nang aming makapanayam si Liza at inaming hiwalay na sila ng aktor.
Nakiusap ang aktres noon na huwag munang ipalabas sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda ang tungkol sa hiwalayan nila ni Enrique.
Ayon kay Liza ay hindi pa nakahanda ang aktor noon na malaman ng publiko ang tungkol dito.
“Quen and I have decided to separate ways. And that is because our values and the way we see life just doesn’t align anymore because of the whole change I went through last year.
“It was kind of hard for us to be there and support each other the same way that we used to be. And so we decided that it was just that easier to separate ways and kind of find ourselves first, kind of explore before we take it to the next level.
“We were in a relationship for a long time, almost eight years before we broke up. The most common question we were getting was when are we going to get married. For a couple that’s together that long, I came to a point where I don’t know if that’s what I wanted anymore, honestly. ‘Coz there’s so much more that I still want to achieve. And he’s older than me, he’s in his 30s. Of course he’s thinking about settling down, starting a family. And so, it just didn’t line up,” pagtatapat sa amin ni Liza mahigit dalawang taon na ang nakalilipas.
Para sa aktres ay naging mahirap ang kanilang huling pag-uusap ni Enrique noon. “It was difficult. It’s still difficult to this day because we didn’t end things on bad terms. In fact he still messages me from time to time. He still tries to show support for everything that I’m doing. It’s hard because we don’t have ill feelings towards each other. There’s still a lot of love and care for each other. At the moment, we need to grow first.”
Kinailangan munang itago sa publiko noon ng dating magkasintahan ang tungkol sa hiwalayan. “Because it’s hard, because my identity is so attached to him and my love team. My whole family and his family were like one big family already. My friends are his friends. My whole world basically revolved around him from my career and our personal lives. And so, it’s scary to come forward coz it’s such a big change in our life.
“And you don’t know how people are gonna take it. So, I didn’t wanna come forward for a long time. It came to a point where I wanna start talking about it. He was uncomfortable with it either because he’s a type of person, very private. Everybody knows that about him. He doesn’t post much on social media. So out of respect for one another, we decided not to talk about it til both of us are ready to come forward with it. I’m not even ready to talk about it right now that’s why I feel like my explanation is so off. But I’m kind of forced to do it now,” emosyonal na pahayag ni Liza.
Nilinaw ng dalaga na walang kinalaman ang dating talent manager na si James Reid sa hiwalayan nila ni Enrique. “No, it’s purely platonic. He’s my manager. There’s nothing, there’s no third party. I know people always like to make it about that but no, we grew apart. It’s just that,” giit ng aktres.
Mayroong iniwang mensahe si Liza noon para kay Enrique. “I would say sorry to him, last year was a tough year for the both of us. It was a huge changing point in both of our lives and it started when I started wanting change for myself professionally. And also, I wanted change for myself in my personal life. I wanted to start creating healthy boundaries between my family, my friends, people in my personal life because for that, I didn’t have any. He has a better understanding of that. While I was still looking for myself, I didn’t realize that he was also just got lost.
“There was also a lot of miscommunication that went on. I felt like I should say sorry for not being as understanding or being able to see his struggles because I was struggling at the same time, too. But I wanna say thank you because he was very understanding of the whole situation. Til now he still supports me with everything that I do. He’s always been a good friend to me, a good boyfriend. Lahat ng success ko, everything that I have now, he was the person that I got to share that with. It was a good experience,” pagbabahagi ng dalaga.
Mayroon ding mensahe ang aktres para sa lahat ng mga tagahangang nagmahal at sumuporta sa kanilang tambalan ni Enrique. “Sorry for the lack of communication. It’s hard, I’m always thinking about whether what I say or what I do is wrong or right in their eyes. And sometimes, it gets confusing ‘coz there’s a lot of them and they all have different opinions. Because I’m such a people pleaser, I always wanna accommodate each and every person that shares their opinions with me. And that’s where I start getting confused and not knowing what to do and not knowing how to express myself or explain things. So I’m sorry if they were disappointed and the lack of communication. Sorry if they’re disappointed in the decision I’ve made. But thank you for understanding. Thank you for supporting me throughout the years. Thank you for the journey coz none of my success would have happen if they didn’t support me and believe in me,” paglalahad ni Liza. — Reports from JCC
