McCoy De Leon and Elisse Joson have parted ways after more than five years together, saying the breakup “wasn’t easy” for either of them.
In a heartfelt joint statement shared online, the couple, known to fans as McLisse, opened up about their decision to separate, saying their relationship was rooted in a shared dream of building a home and a family.
“We made that promise—to love, to fight, to stay. And truthfully, we both tried,” they wrote in a statement, alongside a reel showing a compilation of their treasured moments together.
While acknowledging that they gave their relationship their all, McCoy and Elisse said they are now choosing to let go “to allow a new kind of peace, growth, and healing to enter.”
The couple stressed that what they had was real and that their greatest gift will always be their daughter, Felize, whom they welcomed in 2021.
“No matter how life changes, we will always belong to her. Her mommy. Her daddy. Her family. That will never ever change,” they wrote.
They also asked the public to refrain from speculations and instead extend kindness and respect as they begin this new chapter in their lives.
“This is us, stepping into a new chapter—with love, respect, and no regrets,” they ended.
McCoy and Elisse first broke up in 2018, reconciled in 2021, separated again in 2022, and got back together in 2023.
