An era has come to an end for long-time lovers Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla after announcing their breakup on Thursday, November 30, 2023. On Instagram, the two shared the sad news, leading netizens, fans, and friends to a state of utter shock.


On her IG account, Kathryn posted an old photo of her and Daniel, along with a statement on their split. “Chapter closed. I hope this finally helps all of us move forward,” she put in the caption of her post. “I won’t be entertaining questions regarding this anymore. Thank you for understanding.”



“I’m well aware of the rumors and speculations going around, and as hard as it is to put everything into words, I want you to hear it straight from me,” Kathryn stated, making sense of the matter. “It’s true that Deej and I have decided to part ways.”


Before the announcement, Kathryn and Daniel were entangled in rumors encompassing their relationship, as the tandem was said to have hit a snag. On social media, speculations have also swirled around, linking Daniel to Kapamilya stars Andrea Brillantes and Gillian Vicencio.

Meanwhile, Kathyrn’s close confidant, Sofia Andres, seems to have unfollowed Andrea on Insta and began to unearth what appears to be cryptic clues on her IG stories. Many eagle-eyed fans and netizens interpret her “hints” to be associated with the breakup.


To show her support for Kathryn, however, Sofia shortly uploaded on her Instagram story a past photo of her, all smiles with Kathryn and Alora Mae Sasam.



Kathryn’s message to Daniel caused the entire KathNiel community to shake. Staunch supporters, along with the couple’s co-actors, are heartbroken by the separation of one of Philippine showbiz’s top love teams. Anne Curtis-Smith, Angelica Panganiban, Sue Ramirez, Joshua Garcia, Shaina Magdayao, Iza Calzado, among others, sent virtual hugs for Kathryn. Korina Sanchez also commented: “💔No words...” Ruffa Gutierrez was vocal about being heartbroken, typing, “I’m crying right now. 😭 I love you both. ❤️❤️❤️” and “My KATHNIEL heart 💔”


“He was my first boyfriend. He was my comfort zone. He was my person. I will always have love for him,” Kathryn wrote in her heart-wrenching announcement. “Like any other relationship, we tried our best to make it work. We’ve been drifting apart for a while now, and we ultimately had to accept that we can’t go back to where we used to be.”



“Deej and I will continue to support each other as we try to heal and move forward from this,” Kathryn added, requesting the fans to refrain from taking sides. “Deej, you gave me 11 beautiful years and the kind of love that I will forever cherish,” she told Daniel.

Daniel, on the other hand, opened up about the devastating breakup, too. Emotional, he declared: “Sa mundo, buhay, at sa limitadong oras na tayo ay nandito, isang malaking biyaya ang pagmamahal. Ang mahalin ka. At mahalin mo. Ang mga alaala natin ay lagi kong baon sa aking puso at magiging liwanag sa mga madidilim kong araw.”



Apart from thanking Kathryn, Daniel expressed his gratitude for their loyal legion, too. “KathNiels, maraming salamat sa pagmamahal ninyo. Maraming salamat sa napakagandang pinagsamahan natin.”


Celebrities like Vice Ganda, Ogie Alcasid, Mavy Legaspi, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, and Bianca Gonzalez-Intal, among others, reacted to Daniel's post by leaving comments and sending love and virtual hugs his way.


Hinding-hindi nila puwedeng sirain 'yun. This is beyond show business. Pamilya kayo at mga kaibigan,” Daniel persisted, concluding that nothing truly compares to the pleasant friendships that they have fostered. “Magiging mahirap pero kailangan natin yakapin ang kinabukasan. I pray for us to grow, and heal.”



After showing appreciation for Kathryn’s patience in their partnership, Daniel finally said his final words prior to parting ways: “Bal, ang pagmamahal ko sa’yo ay walang hanggan at walang katapusan.”
