ACTORS Paolo Contis and LJ Reyes indeed don’t believe in forever after they recently called it quits and ended their love affair.
What must EB Babe Lian Paz or Paulo Avelino say about the split of their respective exes?
Paolo was married and has two kids with Lian while LJ had a short-lived romance with Paulo and they had a son, Aki who lives with LJ.
What must the doomsayers say?
Contis and Reyes’ fans thought the couple would have endured until forever but they were wrong because the decision of the two lovers was final—they had to part ways. As Paolo’s talent manager Lolit Solis has said that the couple has outgrown each other? What have they outgrown?
The feeling of love or just their physical togetherness? Or both? Sans the benefit of marriage, Contis and LJ must have been non-subscribers to the still-to-be-approved divorce law in the Philippines or even to the fleeting idea of “temporal love.”
What went wrong?
According to the grapevine, actress Yen Santos was dragged to the controversy as the “third party” on the dissolution of the bond between Paolo and LJ but Lolit was quick to the defense of Yen who said that the latter couldn’t be the cause of the breakup because she was too prim and proper to destroy a relationship.
Contis and Santos were paired off in a film shown recently on Netflix and many tongues wagged and assumed there was an off-cam romance between the two actors aside from the winning streak of their project which was hyped as an online hit.
Mom Jean Tusi Contis must be so sad about the bitter ending of his son and LJ’s affair. If I may share a story, Jean and her husband Renato Contis had remained faithful to each other until his death.
I know them both being a fellow teacher of Jean at the Inter-Church Language School some moons ago where we taught conversational Tagalog to foreigners and Filipinos as well who wanted to learn the local language for missionary purposes of religious—priests, nuns, Baptists, Methodists and other fundamentalists or some balikbayans who wanted to be natural speakers of the National Language.
At the moment, Summer, Paolo’s son with LJ, is with her mom and dad misses her so much he posted in his social media spaces “I miss you Ganda!”
Ganda, of course could also imply not only the daughter but the mother as well.
The breakup was just a few days ago and Paolo might be missing LJ as well.
Don’t you think so?
