Maja Salvador confirmed that actor John Lloyd Cruz is no longer represented by her talent agency, Crown Artist Management Inc.

Salvador said during the renewal of her contract with popular beauty brand Beautéderm that it was Cruz's decision not to have showbiz as his main job.

“Si Lloydie po, nung buntis ako, sabi niya, ‘Maj, hindi naman ako nagtratrabaho.’ So nag-separate ways kami with respect naman. Nade-decline rin po ‘yung mga magagandang projects kasi focused din siya kay Elias. Hindi rin naman [siya] active now din po,” Salvador explained.

The actress also said that Miles Ocampo is no longer associated with her talent agency, which just celebrated its 4th anniversary.

“Nung nabuntis ako, thankful kami kay Ms. Vania (Edralin) kasi naging parte na siya ng pamilya ng Crown. Sobrang smooth at sobrang ganda ng mga nangyayari sa Crown. Masaya kami dahil may mga nagtitiwala sa management namin kahit kaka-start pa lang namin,” Salvador said.

In other news, Salvador reacted to a question about protecting her first child's privacy while highlighting the dangers of artificial intelligence-generated photos.

“Hindi ko pa talaga masasagot kung kailan ko siya ipi-face reveal, kung kailan ko siya ipapakita sa public. Siguro ibigay na muna nila sa akin,” she said.

She expressed her concern about AI photos, adding, “Sa totoo lang, natatakot ako sa AI (artificial intelligence). Baka gamitin ‘yung picture (kung saan). Maski ako hindi natin alam na ginagamit na pala nila ‘yung picture o video.”

She also noted that whenever a celebrity posts images of their child online, it will attract criticism and internet hatred.

“Marami tayong kaibigan sa industry na may mga anak. Tapos ‘yung mga inosenteng bata [ay] pino-post lang sa social media dahil gusto ng magulang. Pero anak nila ‘yun at proud sila. Pero kasi may mga perfect na tao na kung maka-bash ay wagas,” she pointed out.

She added, “Bilang ina, ayaw ko ‘yun. Hindi ako patolera pero kung mangyayari ‘yun, parang may lalabas na ibang Maja. Like halimbawa ipo-post ko ‘yung photo ng anak ko tapos may feeling perfect na tao at magko-comment ng hindi maganda sa anak ko.”

“‘Yun ang iniiwasan ko. Inosente ‘yung mga bata tapos iba-bash nila. Hindi ko na lang ise-share kung iba-bash lang naman nila,” Salvador ended.
