Actress Chooses Privacy Amid Public Curiosity About Breakup

Manila, Philippines—Actress Barbie Forteza is choosing to stay silent on the subject of her former relationship with actor Jak Roberto, saying she wants to “respect the relationship” and avoid fueling speculation.

In a brief media interview during a press junket for her upcoming drama series, Barbie was asked if she would comment on her highly publicized breakup. She responded with grace and restraint.

“I think some things are better kept private. Out of respect for the relationship, I’d rather not say anything,” Forteza told reporters.

Fans Still Curious, But Barbie Stays Firm

The celebrity couple, once known for their long-term partnership and social media sweetness, reportedly parted ways quietly earlier this year. While fans have been eager for answers, Barbie emphasized that she wants to move forward peacefully.

Barbie’s choice to stay respectful has been praised by fans online, with many calling her response “classy” and “mature.” Meanwhile, neither Jak Roberto nor his management has released an official statement about the breakup.

Moving Forward

Barbie is currently busy promoting her new teleserye and filming upcoming movie projects. She told the media that she’s “in a good place” and grateful for the support she continues to receive from her fans.
