Despite the separation, she described their breakup as “beautiful,” noting that it was marked by respect and lingering affection. She also acknowledged feeling guilt, knowing many fans had hoped they would stay together.
Soberano stressed that no wrongdoing or major conflict led to their breakup, calling it a mutual decision. She said the choice was about finding herself and moving forward with her life.
The popular “LizQuen” love team had been a mainstay in Philippine entertainment, with fans following their on-screen and off-screen relationship for nearly a decade.
