Contrary to talent manager Ogie Diaz’s previous statement over a month ago, asserting that Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano had called it quits, the actor clarified that their relationship is still going strong.
During an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, Gil couldn’t help but smile when asked about his relationship with Soberano, “We are good, we are good.”
Gil further explained that they are both currently occupied with their respective projects.
“I am busy with all my projects. She is busy with all her projects naman. She is focusing on international work, which is super good for her. Kahit super busy kami, we still support each other no matter what,” he said.
According to Gil, what matters most is that they remain happy and supportive of each other.
In a showbiz news vlog released in June, Diaz claimed that it was Soberano’s decision to prioritize her acting career in Hollywood, resulting in their breakup.
Soberano and Gil, popularly known as LizQuen, gained fame as a love team through their successful teleserye “Forevermore” in 2014. They continued to work together in “Dolce Amore” in 2016, “Bagani” in 2018, and were last seen as a screen couple in “Make It with You” in 2020.
While they are no longer a love team onscreen, both Soberano and Gil are actively pursuing separate acting projects.
In line with this, it was announced that Gil will be starring in his first full-blown comedy movie, “I am not Big Bird,” marking his return to the entertainment industry after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The film will be shot in Thailand, and Gil revealed that there are other acting projects lined up for him afterwards.
“Meron [pang mga susunod na aabangan]. I have one concept that I really want to work on. ‘Yun talaga ‘yung matagal ko ng konsepto na I really want to bring it to life. After this, we are definitely gonna be working on that. And then there’s one other movie I am doing, will be shot in Finland, comedy again. We will be launching it soon so hindi ko pa pwede sabihin. But we are moving,” he said.
Gil also expressed his hopes of working on another television series with ABS-CBN in the near future.
“With ABS pala, we have concept din that we pitched to Tita Cory (Vidanes). She loved it and sila Sir Carlo (Katigbak). Sila Sir Deo (Endrinal) are really working hard for this project from the ground up kasi it’s our idea, we pitched it. I am excited for that as well. That’s going to be a TV series naman.”
