In a career-altering confession, Liza Soberano has unsealed the long-awaited truth about her breakup with Enrique Gil—and revealed the unexpected catalyst behind their split. The revelation has shocked fans and sent ripples through the entertainment industry.
Behind Closed Doors: Why Liza and Enrique Split Was Hidden for Three Years
During an emotional episode of Can I Come In?, previously unreleased footage of Liza’s 2023 interview with Boy Abunda finally aired—where she disclosed that she and Enrique had ended their relationship nearly three years ago. In her own words:
“Quen and I have decided to separate ways… our values and the way we see life don’t align anymore.”
“Changes I went through in 2022 made it hard for us to support each other the way we used to.”
“It was easier to separate, find ourselves, and explore before taking things further.” GMA Network
“I didn’t know if marriage was still what I wanted… there was so much I wanted to achieve… he’s in his 30s, thinking of settling down… our timelines just didn’t sync.” GMA Network
The breakup—widely speculated before—was finally confirmed, though Liza admitted it happened long before she publicly addressed it:
“We’ve been broken up for almost three years now… Enrique asked me not to say anything about it first. I also didn’t want it to be real.” PEP.ph
Liza described the split as “beautiful,” still rooted in love and mutual care:
“It was such a beautiful breakup because it was still full of love… I love him as a person.” COSMO.PHPEP.ph
Addressing Rumors: Liza’s Relationship with James Reid
Amid swirling rumors about her connection with manager James Reid—who co-founded Careless Music, the agency Liza briefly signed with in 2022—Liza set the record straight:
“Me and James, no—we never had a thing.”
“I want to stay away from the love team… everything I try as a solo artist isn’t taken seriously because it’s not the same man constantly.” PhilstarKami.com.ph – Philippines news.
