Paolo Contis (Instagram)

Netizens got curious about the reaction of Paolo Contis on the engagement of LJ Reyes to her non-showbiz boyfriend Philip Evangelista.

The actor is currently working on his untitled project with Kaye Abad and Patrick Garcia. According to entertainment reporter Jojo Gabinete, in an article on PEP.ph, Paolo does not have any comment about LJ's engagement.

"No comment," Paolo told PEP.ph.

Paolo also mentioned that he chose not to say anything because no matter how he reacted to it, people would still target him with bad comments or what he simply said ''pulutan'' on the Internet.

LJ and Paolo have been together for six years. The former couple also welcomed their daughter Summer Ayana in 2018. Things were going well when in 2021, LJ announced that she and Paolo decided to part ways.

This was followed by LJ moving for good to New York with Summer and Aki, his son from her former partner Paulo Avelino.

In January 2023, Paolo admitted during his guest appearance on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" that he had a relationship with Yen, which had long been suspected as the reason for his breakup with LJ.

After that Paolo released a long post on his Instagram stating that there was a third party involved in their breakup but he also clarified that Yen has nothing to do with it.
