In a “heartbreaking” moment for loyal fans of “ElNella,” Janella Salvador and Elmo Magalona shared a duet possibly for the final time over the weekend, after the actress made known her preference to no longer work with her former leading man following their controversial breakup.

Salvador, 20, and Magalona, 24, are currently on a concert tour in Canada, dubbed “One Magical Night,” that was announced as early as July — months before their alleged altercation that led to their separation.

They have so far performed, along with Kapamilya stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, in Calgary and Vancouver, with a final stop scheduled on the 10th in Toronto.

During the Calgary event at the Genesis Center, Salvador and Magalona performed a duet of “Born for You” — the significance of which was not lost on long-time supporters of the former couple.

The David Pomeranz tune is also the title of the 2016 teleserye that launched their love team, and where their close friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship.

Unlike in their past performances of “Born for You,” Salvador and Magalona now had a noticeable distance, at least to fans in the comments of a YouTube upload of the Calgary duet from user Jovaga 7777.

While they still interacted, gone were the holding of hands, locking of eyes, and warm smiles and hugs that characterized “ElNella” duets prior to their breakup.

“It saddens me to see them like this. As they sang the song I can see a lot of emotions showing up. Love, pain and regrets,” wrote one fan.

Another supporter addressed her idols: “That song was really made for you and nothing will change that. Feel the lyrics, Elmo and Janella, absorb every word, so you will feel the love, that developed because of this red string of fate song! Maybe by doing that, you will find the answers in your eyes, your heart to forgive, forget and bury the past.”

“This song started it all,” one comment noted. “Dito rin pala nila tatapusin! Ang sakit-sakit kasi ramdam ko na mahal pa rin nila ang isa’t-isa e pero ‘yun nga, nagkasakitan sila… Sana dumating ‘yung time na magkapatawaran sila at mag-heal ‘yung mga sugat sa puso nila.”

“Ang sakit sa puso. Tumulo na pala luha ko,” another fan said.

The Canada shows came only over a week after Salvador accused Magalona of having physically hurt her on two separate occasions during the relationship. When they flew to Canada last week, they did so separately, but inevitably encountered each other during a press event promoting the tour.

It’s not clear whether Salvador and Magalona are on speaking terms outside of their joint work commitments, but in her Philippine Daily Inquirer interview revealing the altercation, the actress said she prefers to no longer work with her former boyfriend.

“We built something beautiful—our friendship, our relationship—but some beautiful things need to come to an end,” she said at the time.
