Broken hearts

 



By Mike Lim

Published May 24, 2025 02:21 pm


Lover Boy (LB) and Alluring Woman (AW) were an unlikely pair, which made their partnership interesting. Both are smart, which probably was an added attraction.

Despite speculations, LB and AW never disclosed their relationship to the public. The non-disclosure puzzled many because neither of them have someone who would have hindered their union. In addition, AW hardly posted about LB.

It was only after some time that hints were dropped about LB and AW being in a relationship. LB would be seen in family gatherings of AW.

AW was radiant and kibitzers knew she was happy and inspired. AW completed her life goals with LB’s encouragement. Even her family members seemed to be in favor of LB for her. Thus, many wished they were each other’s forever.

Recently, the grapevine started to buzz that LB and AW were over. For undisclosed reasons, the two have allegedly called it quits, adding themselves to the list of showbiz couples who broke up this year.

But what caused the split? Did LB decode to focus on matters concerning his professional future? He is facing a controversy that could affect his reputation and what he had built. Or did the pronouncement of someone in AW’s past created ripples that damaged her relationship with LB?

Not so perfect

In the entertainment world, finding a relationship is easy but keeping it forever is not. Yet, fewer showbiz personalities do find love with non-showbiz individuals.

When Secretive Entertainer (SE) was building her reputation and growing into her career, reporters pried into her love life instead of her professional achievements.

At the time, SE showed a side that was uncommon – she stuck to an earlier decision to keep her mouth shut.

SE, unlike her contemporaries who were all-too willing to open about their love life, soon gained a reputation for being difficult. SE kept her stand and remained consistent. That is, until she introduced a Non-Showbiz man (NS) to her public.

NS won her heart, to the delight of the media. SE and NS tied the knot and raised a family. Given that NS was not part of the entertainment world, he was not as exposed to never-ending inquiries. Through the years, SE and NS were assumed to be living in domestic bliss.

Soon, SE and NS were hardly seen in society pages and seeing them together became infrequent. Consistently, SE kept quiet about her family life. No one dared to ask her about her relationship with NS. Given that NS was a private, non-showbiz personality, no one sought an update. Rumors have it that he has already moved on from SE.

Meanwhile, SE has also pursued professional endeavors and kept her private life away from her public persona. The setback has made her seemingly perfect world, imperfect, but SE has more than enough from her past to fill up the imperfection of her then relationship.

FASHION PULIS: Enough is enough

BY MIKE LIM


As years go by, partners see the best and worst of each other. The best practices are cherished but the worst can result in trouble later on. Such might have happened to the relationship of Popular Guy (PG) and Controversial Woman (CW).

PG and CW started their relationship with questions from kibitzers. Other than recognition, the two lived worlds apart. They became known to the public given their diverse interests. However, PG seemed to be a nice guy and as he did not have any marital connection, he could pursue the very much single CW.

The two subsequently pulled each other into their worlds. They were no longer social media shy. No one objected and most wished PG would finally settle down.

They were tested at one point too, and their followers worried that it would actually end the relationship. But CW aired her clarification and PG stood by her.

However, about a year later, their followers sensed something was not right. Neither spoke about any trouble but whispers were loud that the two had broken up. 

The rumor is that CW did something quite messy that PG could not comprehend: It was about CW allegedly getting caught peeing on their sofa and floor.

Either CW might be physically suffering from an ailment or she might have had too much to drink. Drunks are known to lose control. 

Whatever the case maybe, seeing such made PG lose it. That was the last straw as PG ultimately made CW leave.

‘This is what happens when nice people are pushed too far. We give too many chances, and so when we've finally had enough, we are well and truly done. When a nice person shuts a door on you, it's shut for good.’ — Deb Caletti

Missing posts

Years ago, when Showbiz Scion (SS) finally admitted her relationship with Sought-after Bachelor (SB), kibitzers maliciously commented that she definitely knew her “market.”

SB was quite well-off and capable of giving SS a life fit for a queen. With SB’s connections, SS could also have a career that could be the envy of anyone in showbiz.

SS and SB did their best to keep their relationship private. However, they were generous in sharing significant details in social media. Hence, many vicariously followed their respective accounts.

Alas, observers noted that the social media savvy SS seemed to be silent the past month. She missed out posting updates even during the recent holidays, something so unlike her. 

Even if SB was noted to be within the same area as SS, her followers noticed the absence. They, thus, wondered if something was wrong. 

Did trouble come too early in the lives of SS and SB? Are they undergoing something that has affected their life? 

Of course, no one wants to wish them ill, as they seemed to be the perfect match.

FASHION PULIS: Drinking buddies

BY MIKE LIM


The title says it all and best describes the alleged relationship of a budding couple. First, Versatile Boy (VB) and Talented Girl (TG) are of age and legally allowed to get into vices. Second, they have matured in the entertainment industry and their experiences have forged their character as well.

Apparently, VB and TG hit it off as their careers crossed paths. Fans found the pair cute together and found nothing wrong if they end up together. Both are single and secure with their careers. In fact, they have nothing to prove as they have a list of accomplishments in and out of showbiz.

Given that perception, fans look up to VB and TG even consider them as role models. VB rose from the ranks and his fans witnessed his hard work to reach his spot. The same is true with TG, who proved she’s not just a pretty face. Thus, when VB and TG were seen in popular spots known for nightlife, kibitzers were surprised at the two’s behavior.

Their zest for living was evident. VB and TG love life and that was shown when followers saw them enjoying a drink and much more. Sadly, the two gave the impression that they are heavy drinkers in public. Unwinding from the pressures of their work probably was the excuse for finding solace in drinking. Unfortunately, nothing escapes netizens and seeing them as heavy drinkers is not taken in a positive light. Did drinking bring them together? Would they become an official couple soon?

‘[I]t is the wine that leads me on, the wild wine that sets the wisest man to sing at the top of his lungs, laugh like a fool—it drives the man to dancing…it even tempts him to blurt out stories better never told.’ —Homer

Honest mistake, rude response

No one’s perfect when it comes to technology. For example, encoding numbers in mobile devices can sometimes be the source of future misunderstandings. Honest mistakes can often test patience, therefore, the character of the person at the receiving end. Often, even if the error has been owed, only a few have the manners to let a mistake pass. 

Unfortunately, Businessman (BM) was at the receiving end of the reply of Popular Personality (PP). BM sent a message to a number, thinking he was messaging A Contact (AC). However, a few minutes passed and BM did not receive a reply. Subsequently, BM sent another message. Still, the assumed AC did not answer. More minutes passed but the number did not reply. The messages simply asked how the supposed receiver was. BM had no malice in sending the messages.

Then, a reply came through. BM thought he had finally reached AC. The reply was unexpected as the message asked why she was receiving such messages. BM realized his honest mistake and apologized sincerely.

The conversation did not end there even if BM already explained and said sorry. PP replied and called out what she thought was BM’s character. The message was not pleasant. The reaction was quite different from the perception of the image of PP.
