FASHION PULIS: Behind the shocking denouement

Published Feb 10, 2024 02:00 am

Now that separation fever has hit many high profile celebrity couples, the public is more curious about the reasons why the couple chose to dissolve their partnership.

Netizens who are not at all privy to the private lives of celebrity couples are the first to judge and accuse a party as the cause of a breakup. However, regardless of how former couples try to keep the reason, somehow rumors seep into the open.

Take the case of Quiet Performer (QP) and Handsome Dude (HD). When QP and HD admitted they were officially an item, hardly anyone expressed disagreement on the relationship of the two.

HD seemed to be the perfect person to match QP’s personality. As a showbiz personality, QP has had her share of controversies. Yet, QP preferred to not speak ill of those who have wronged her. If she did react, QP would subtly give hints and keep silent.

When QP and HD broke up, their fans could not fathom why they would uncouple. They were made for each other, as she was happy whenever they were together. Then one day, netizens noticed the signs in social media. Despite those observations, neither confirmed nor denied the news. As days passed, a surprising rumor emerged attributing the presence of an unlikely Third Party (TP).

Allegedly, QP caught HD with TP. TP was never in the picture and linked in one way or another to HD. What QP supposedly saw was enough for their foundation to break. As the situation is delicate, the best course of action was to keep quiet. TP is not a private person, but someone who has a high profile given the responsibilities he has served over the decades. Moreover, TP is not new to the showbiz world, as well as the political sphere.

Supportive Friend

Over the years, Network Actor (NA) and Award Winner (AW) have been constantly seen together in showbiz events. NA and AW have kept quiet on the status of their relationship even if interviews constantly urge them to admit that they are already an item. It came to the point that seeing them has been a what-you-see is what-you-get status.

The only thing missing between NA and AW are marriage vows and their biological clocks are moving as well. Although both have had colorful love lives in the past, the present has proved to be a conundrum for their followers. Are they or are they not together? Will they be sharing a future? Apparently, the answer is a quiet no.

NA is rumored to be in the closet. No reporter has dared to ask questions on his sexuality given that AW’s presence would dispel doubts on his being straight. Further, NA has a live-in arrangement with an unnamed partner. NA’s secret is, however, open to his inner circle to which AW belongs, making her his very supportive pal.

Even if NA would want to come out, the risk is too high. Local showbiz and fans are mean to celebrities admitting their sexuality. Coming out in the local context translates into being dropped as endorsers and missing opportunities. Homophobia is real and sadly, the PH public hardly has sympathy for celebrities who out themselves.

Meanwhile, another rumor is linking NA to a Young Versatile actor (YV). Is YV the partner in the said rumor? As always, time will reveal the truth.
