Nikko Natividad was quick to poke fun at good friend Elisse Joson amid her separation from McCoy de Leon.
On Instagram, Nikko once again recreated one of Elisse's poses as seen in a photo then wrote, "Mare shot puno (tumbler glass emoji) (Swipe (left arrow emoji))."
It was McCoy who confirmed the split via social media.
He denied allegations there was a third party involved.
He said, "Wala po involve na ibang tao ang pinaka rason kaya kami naghiwalay. Sana po maniwala po kayo. Hindi ko po intensyon manakit ng tao o manloko. Sadyang dumating lang po sa point na sobrang bigat lang ng problema kaya po ako sumuko."
Rumor about McCoy and Elisse having parted ways started circulating after netizens noticed the lack of photos of them together of late.
Adding fuel to the fire were their respective cryptic posts.
Later, McCoy sent an open letter to their one-year-old daughter.
Meanwhile, around that time, a photo of McCoy seemingly being cozy with a certain Mary Joy Santiago went viral.
