Liza Soberano’s former talent manager Ogie Diaz revealed the actress’ reaction after rumors about her alleged breakup with boyfriend Enrique Gil surfaced online.
A blind item regarding a reel and real couple who supposedly called it quits recently made rounds on social media.
Netizens were quick to speculate that the blind item was pertaining to longtime couple Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, collectively known as KathNiel, as the lovers’ initials matched the initials used in the said blind item.
ABS-CBN entertainment reporter MJ Felipe, however, spoke to two very reliable sources close to KathNiel who both vehemently denied the rumors.
KathNiel also just recently celebrated their 10th year as a couple in Thailand.
Liza and Enrique, known to fans as LizQuen, were also tagged in the same blind item. The two have been together for seven years now.
Ogie Diaz, meanwhile, shed a light on the speculations about Liza and Enrique’s supposed breakup amid having separate trips abroad.
“Hindi po hiwalay ang LizQuen. Hiwalay lamang po sila ng bansa na pinuntahan,” said Ogie on his YouTube channel on Wednesday.
He explained, “Si Enrique sa Spain, sa kanyang mga kaanak, kasama ang kanyang mommy at kapatid. Si Liza naman kasama ang kanyang bagong management group sa Hollywood sa pangunguna ni James Reid.”
Ogie continued to share how Liza reacted upon learning of the rumors.
“Hindi po sila hiwalay dahil kahit si Liza, nung nakarating sa kanya ‘to, tawa siya ng tawa kasi tinanong siya ni Tita Joni, ang kanyang tita, kung sila pa rin ba ni Quen. Oo naman, jusko, sabi nga ni Liza, ‘Ano ba yan, si Quen pa nga ang susundo sakin sa airport,’ sa kanyang pagbabalik dito from Hollywood.”
Liza is now being managed by James Reid’s team as she plans to pursue a Hollywood career. She recently attended events in the United States such as the Gold House’s first annual Gold Gala and Identity 2022 Festival in Los Angeles.
