“We agreed that going separate ways was best for both of us. We are in [sic] good terms and are still really good friends and will continue to work with each other especially when it comes to music. Thank you for all the JaDine fans for their undying support and we hope you continue to support us now and in the future. We shall forever be grateful to them for their love and understanding. Thank you.”

Juan Miguel also defended the couple from the negative news.
He said, “It’s not a question of whether those non-journalists were telling the truth but whether it was their truth to tell or not. It was not. You owe them no apologies. There’s no one to redeem here. Two people whose love we loved separated. Their heartbreak is not for entertainment.”

For years and years, I have stanned Jadine so hard, defended their names, watched all their teleseryes and movies, heard their music, and now, waking up and hearing their breakup, broke my heart, too. But perhaps, their loveteam might be signing off but my Jadine heart will never

Not a JaDine fan but I never thought their break-up would pain me this much. They are a part of my youth! Like wtf, parang huge part ng pagkabata ko 'yung nawala 😅💔 https://t.co/Ikwta1WNaK

Ain’t a fan of JaDine, nor one of the two but their break up made love a little more terrifying. First time to look through Nadine’s IG posts since people nearby did first and I couldn’t deny the beauty they once shared AND SOBRANG NAKAKATAKOT PO MAGMAHAL TAS MAWALAN. pic.twitter.com/1KtdJ8Rwpb

Maybe the reason why the breakup of Jadine is so painful is because they became the definition of love and an almost perfect relationship. They made everyone believe that forever is possible, now is it possible?#JaDineNoMore pic.twitter.com/lr58qH6eeB

Rumors about James and Nadine’s breakup came up late last year after some reports claimed that the actress already left their shared home in Quezon City.
The two Kapamilya stars were launched in the movie Diary ng Panget in 2014 which skyrocketed them to stardom as a loveteam. The former couple admitted their relationship in February 2016 and would have celebrated their 4th anniversary in the same month this year.
