Jake Cuenca on relationship with Chie Filomeno: 'That chapter of my life is over now'
Kapamilya actor Jake Cuenca broke his silence on the breakup rumors with Chie Filomeno.
During a media conference for his film "Delivery Rider," Cuenca stated that he has accepted the end of that chapter in his life.
Jake and Chie publicly confirmed their relationship in 2023. Earlier this month, Filomeno was linked to businessman Matthew Lhuillier.
The actor commented, "I'm good at least, parang it’s a lot to take, di ba? Andaming nangyayari. Andaming sinasabi ng mga tao. I can officially say that chapter of my life is over now. To be quite honest with you, parang I can at least say that I really loved that person deeply. For me, I respect that person until today.”
Jake further clarified that there was no official breakup but reiterated his deep affection for the unnamed individual.
"I loved that person deeply, di ba? It was incredibly important to me, but that chapter is over now, and I have to accept it. Yun po," Jake also said.
In an Instagram Story on Sept. 29, Chie wrote, "I've been reading and hearing a lot these past few days, and I ask that my past relationship, my present life, and the Lhuillier family be left out of this issue.
"They don’t deserve to be dragged into something that has nothing to do with them. No further statements will be made at this time, and I kindly ask that people refrain from speculation or intrusions into my private affairs. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
"I may be a public figure, but I am not public property. I ask that my private life remain private," she added.
