In the aftermath of what is being deemed as one of the most heart-wrenching breakups in the realm of Philippine entertainment, attention has now shifted to another individual purportedly linked to the separation of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim.
Ogie Diaz, in the latest installment of his YouTube series ‘Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,’ delved into the swirling breakup rumors between Kim and Xian, particularly addressing the identity of ‘Iris Lee’ in the actor’s life.
Speculations have arisen on social media with images circulating of the two together, suggesting that Iris Lee may be a non-showbiz individual associated with Viva and romantically connected to Xian Lim.
Ogie Diaz urged Xian to address the status of his relationship with Kim Chiu and recommended a concise response without delving into lengthy explanations.
“Linawin nalang ni Xian Lim yan, ‘wag ng mahaba ang statement’,” emphasized the seasoned showbiz reporter.
Previously, Xian Lim issued a public reminder on discernment regarding the consumption and sharing of information on November 11.
Meanwhile, Kim Chiu shared her thoughts on the matter during the 25th-anniversary fashion show of Filipino designer Francis Libiran at the City of Dreams Manila on November 24, stating, “Grabe… sa amin na lang ‘yun, we’ll just keep it to ourselves na muna”.
As of now, Xian has not responded to Ogie’s mention of the name Iris Lee.
Kim Chiu and Xian Lim, a Filipino couple who began dating in 2012, confirmed their relationship in 2018 and have been together since. Despite occasional breakup rumors, the couple has consistently denied such speculations. Their last project together was ‘Always,’ a film under Viva Films released last year.
