MANILA — Celebrity couple Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano have broken up, the latter’s former talent manager Ogie Diaz claimed Tuesday.

In his showbiz news vlog, Diaz first recalled the events and Soberano’s controversial statements that spurred the speculation of a supposed split.

“Actually, nakarating din sa’kin ‘yan na split na o break na sina Enrique Gil at Liza Soberano. Parang nag-ugat ito sa mga pronouncement o naging statement o mga nakaraang interviews ni Liza, never niyang binanggit si Enrique Gil,” Diaz said.

“Tapos ‘yung parang hindi pa siya pabor sa mga pagtatatag ng love team kaya nagkaroon ng agam-agam na baka nga wala na sila kasi una, hindi niya pinagmamalaki ang boyfriend, kasi kung ano magpo-post ‘yan si Liza,” he added.

“Tapos nung birthday ni Enrique wala rin greeting online. Pero nanatiling nananahimik sila pareho sa isyung ito. Parang ‘yun na lang ang konklusyon ng karamihan lal na ng mga sumusubaybay sa LizQuen, kung wala na ba talaga sila.”

According to Diaz, it was Soberano’s “choice” to focus on pursuing an acting career in Hollywood, resulting in the breakup.

“Ang nakarating sa atin, hiwalay na sina Enrique Gil at Liza Soberano. Hindi ko alam kung pareho nilang gusto ‘yun pero ang nakarating sa atin ay choice ni Liza na tutukan muna ang kanyang career programming, kaya wala na raw,” the actress’ former manager said.

“Ang nakarating sa atin ay si Enrique Gil ‘yung nagpu-push pa na baka kaya, na baka posible pa ring maituloy, pwede naman niyang i-allow si Liza kung ang gusto ni Liza, na ito pa rin ang kanyang Hollywood dream pero sila pa rin,” he added.

“Isa pang nakadagdag diyan, hindi alam ni Enrique Gil na dumating pala rito si Liza at sinundo siya ng management niya. As usual, sana hindi totoo na hiwalay na sila, sana kung meron mang gap o meron mang hindi pagkakaunawaan, miscom (miscommunication), misunderstanding ma-patch. Sayang, ilang taon din sila, 8 years. Sayang din ‘yun diba?”

Diaz added that he has yet to confirm if a third party was involved in the breakup: “‘Yan ang hindi natin alam.”
