Following the separation of Nash Aguas and Alexa Ilacad as a "love team," the onscreen tandem of contemporaries Jairus Aquino and Sharlene San Pedro has also come to an end. This was revealed by Aquino, 19, in an interview with ABS-CBN entertainment news site Push published Friday.

Dubbed "JaiLene," Aquino's team-up with San Pedro started in 2013 when they both joined the teen-oriented series "Luv U," which ran for three years. They were paired anew in a number of Kapamilya series, most recently "Langit Lupa" in 2016. That same year, they both joined music channel MYX as VJs.

Aquino, who was last seen on television in a 2017 episode of "Ipaglaban Mo," was asked on the status of his "love team," in light of his break from showbiz.

He explained: "Different path na rin po kasi 'yung tinahak namin. Ako, wala na po ako sa MYX, siya mas gusto niya 'yung MYX. Tapos after 'Langit Lupa' hindi naman po nasundan soap. So parang hindi rin kami nabigyan ng work as a love team, kaya 'yon. siguro hindi na rin natuloy.

"And ako, hindi na rin po masyadong naging visible. Hindi naman po sa pinili ko 'yung studies, pero dahil nga sa dami rin ng artista at ang dami rin pong love teams ngayon kaya hindi na rin po siguro pinush talaga."

Aquino added he no longer has communication with San Pedro.

The end of "JaiLene," or at least its confirmation, comes only weeks after Aguas similarly said his team-up with Ilacad would no longer continue. Interestingly, a vocal fanbase dubbed "NashLene" has long been pushing for the pairing of Aguas and San Pedro, who were competitors in a talent search and subsequently became kiddie partners onscreen.
