Netizens can't stop buzzing about celebrity couple Paolo Contis and LJ Reyes ever since Paolo deleted all of LJ's photos and unfollowed everyone he was following on IG, including LJ.
Apart from his work-related uploads, Paolo still has photos on his feed of his daughter with LJ, two-year-old Summer Ayana. As of the moment, LJ still has photos of Paolo on her Instagram account, and she continues to follow him on the platform.
Fans speculated that it might just be a publicity stunt since Paolo is starring in the film A Far Away Land, a "complicated love story" about a documentarist (played by Paolo) who visits the Faroe Islands to feature an overseas Filipino worker, a woman (played by Yen Santos) married to a Faroese. Incidentally, Yen also unfollowed everyone she was following on Insta.
Based on the teaser of an interview with Boy Abunda, LJ confirmed that she and Paolo have indeed separated.
Boy: "Ang separation niyo ni Paolo, was it mutual?"
LJ: "It was so difficult, it was so painful. Kung hindi malakas yung pananampalataya ko sa panginoon, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupulutin."
Boy: "Sino ang nakipaghiwalay?"
LJ: "Tito Boy, kasi matagal ko nang nararamdaman na parang nakahiwalay na siya sa amin."
Boy's full interview with LJ premieres on YouTube on September 1.
