In a heartfelt public revelation that stunned fans and the media alike, Kapamilya actress Lisa Soberano has confirmed her breakup from Enrique Gil—after nearly three years of silence. Even more eye-catching? She appears to be moving forward with a new romance, with Korean businessman Jeffrey Oh.
1. End of an Era: The Breakup Revealed
On a candid episode of Can I Come In?, Lisa admitted that she and Enrique (“Quen”) had quietly separated almost three years ago. She said straightforwardly, “We’ve been broken up for almost three years now.” The reason it remained unspoken for so long? Enrique had asked for their breakup to stay private, perhaps hoping it wasn’t real. Lisa respected that decision—but she also recognized her own reluctance to accept the end. “I agreed because I didn’t want it to be real,” she shared, reflecting on her fears that a public confirmation might damage her career or fan support.
Lisa explained that before the split, she had already sensed growing unhappiness. Even though they’d been together for nearly eight years, on her part, the spark had dimmed. Marriage, once expected, no longer felt aligned with her ambitions and values. She spoke with warmth about Enrique, calling him her “childhood best friend,” and described their separation as gentle yet necessary. “It was still full of love,” she said, admitting the pain of letting go—but also the new-found peace of choosing personal growth.
2. Finding Clarity and Regaining Voice
What made her public admission compelling was its honesty. Lisa confessed she had carried guilt for not fighting harder for the relationship—recognizing that fans had idealized her as the partner who “held on.” She acknowledged the emotional weight of ending something beautiful, but stressed the importance of finding her own path. By finally voicing the truth, she reclaimed her autonomy and reclaimed power over her narrative.
Despite much speculation, Lisa clarified there was no scandal or third party involved—only a divergence in values and life goals. Enrique, she said, wasn’t at fault; they simply weren’t a fit anymore. And though free from the relationship, a warmth still remained. She expressed gratitude: he was supportive, a good friend, and someone she could always share her success with.
3. Enter Jeffrey Oh: A New Chapter?
As news of the breakup spread, fans turned their attention to a possible new love interest—Jeffrey Oh. Reports say Lisa and Jeffrey were spotted together in Singapore, prompting whispers that their closeness is more than just friendship. Some netizens even drew false comparisons between Enrique and the child Lisa was carrying in photos, fueling speculation about parentage—though absolutely unsupported by any credible source.
Jeffrey Oh, known in industry circles and once associated with Careless Music, has no official confirmation regarding a relationship with Lisa. Still, their frequent travel together and public proximity have fed gossip mills. Some even suggest Jeff played a behind-the-scenes role in Lisa’s pivot to Hollywood.
Despite mounting rumors, neither Lisa nor Enrique has made any mentions regarding Jeffrey or any romantic development. Enrique, for his part, has remained silent, letting Lisa’s statement stand alone without adding comment.
4. Public Reaction: From Heartbreak to Hope
The response has been deeply mixed. Longtime fans of “LizQuen” expressed heartbreak over the confirmed split, mourning what once felt like a timeless love story. Others commended Lisa’s bravery for speaking her truth, resonating with her journey toward self-discovery and empowerment.
Online chatter about Jeffrey’s involvement ranges from hopeful curiosity to skepticism. Without official confirmation, fans remain divided—some excited about Lisa’s new beginning, others anxious about public scrutiny and rumors.
5. Behind the Headlines: Takes on Growth and Transition
Beyond tabloid chatter, Lisa’s reveal is a powerful moment of transformation. It underscores the complexity of relationships in the public eye, and highlights the internal struggle artists face between personal authenticity and image.
Lisa, once anxious about career consequences, chose to reclaim her story. Her breakup was not driven by drama but by a quiet recognition that she needed space to grow and evolve. Now, stepping into this new chapter—whatever shape it may take—she signals resilience and hope.
6. What Comes Next—Career and Heart
What happens next remains unknown. Will there be a collaborative reunion or professional work with Enrique? Might the rumored bond with Jeffrey Oh blossom into an official relationship? Only time (and perhaps mutual statements) will tell.
For now, the narrative is one of healing, self-awareness, and empowerment. Lisa’s journey reminds us that letting go—with love intact—can be the strongest and most courageous choice we make.
