MANILA, Philippines — Kapamilya actress Barbie Imperial confirmed that she and boyfriend Diego Loyzaga have broken up.
In a report by ABS-CBN News, Barbie confirmed the split, saying that both of them have mutually decided to part ways and that they are in good terms.
In the recent press conference of her upcoming series “Goodbye Girl,” Barbie said she will focus on self-love first for now.
“Natutunan ko na baka kaya paulit-ulit nangyayari sakin to kasi hindi ko talaga minamahal ang sarili ko,” Barbie said.
“It’s like all the same stories each boyfriend. So for me parang, what if ibahin ko ngayon? Sarili ko naman ang mahalin ko,” she added.
Last December, Barbie denied the rumors spread by social media personality Xian Gaza that she and Diego had a brawl in a Tagaytay hotel.
“Walang katotohanan, kahit isa, 'yung sinabi ng tao na yun. So parang kami, ‘Ito ang nangyari sa kamay ko ganito ganyan.’ Kasi ‘yung kamay ni Diegs, sa gym talaga siya nangyari and ako mismo nagdala sa hospital sa kanya. So ang labo talaga. Sobrang na-trigger na ako,” Barbie said.
“Kasi ang labo talaga na ipag-coconnect mo lang ‘yung photos tapos may ganito lang sa hand, may pasa. Bakit? Hindi ba ako pwedeng magkapasa sa ibang bagay? Bakit ‘yung boyfriend ko lang na sobrang mabuti, sobrang bait, sobrang tini-treat ako ng maayos. Bakit siya ‘yung paghihinalaan na ginawa niya ‘yun na akin?” she added.
Barbie and Diego confirmed their relationship in January 2021.
