Netizens have poured their love and support for Reyes after she got separated from Contis.
The Kapuso actress confirmed her separation from Contis during her interview with Boy Abunda’s YouTube show The Boy Abunda Talk Channel.’
Reyes turned emotional as she noted how she fought for their relationship, but Contis did not fight for them.
Contis is then accused of cheating on Reyes with his Faraway Land co-star, Yen Santos.
Despite the negative comments directed at Contis, Lolit Solis seemed to defend the actor as she noted that men also get hurt.
In her recent Instagram post, Solis said that men tend to hide their emotions well but still hurt inside.

“Alam mo Salve, iyon broken relationship hindi lang ang babae ang hurting. Sa mga nakita ko madalas pa ngang in pain at mas mahirap mag move on iyon lalaki dahil hindi tulad ng babae na open sa kanilang nadarama, mas madalas na itinatago ng mga lalaki ang tunay nilang feeling,” she said.
In a separate Instagram post, Solis also noted that men are often expected to be strong all the time, that’s why they tend to hide their emotions.

“Salve misconception lagi na pag nagkaka-hiwalayang magka relasyon ang nasasaktan lang iyon babae. Marami akong nakita na mga lalaki na umiiyak, sobrang in pain pag nag break up sila ng babae, pero hindi lang nagsasalita o ipinapakita ang nadarama nila.
“Kasi nga, meron tayong paniwala na mas matatag ang lalaki, mas tanggap nila ang nangyari, pero kadalasan hindi tutoo iyon,” said Solis.
At the end of her post, Solis wished that Contis and LJ would be on good terms for the sake of their long years together and their daughter Summer Ayana.
Amid the separation of Contis and Reyes, rumors of a third party resurfaced when recently, Contis got spotted with a female companion in Baguio City.
