A recent photo of Kapuso actor Xian Lim alongside film producer Iris Lee has ignited a flurry of speculation on social media regarding their relationship.
The image, which circulated widely after being shared by a Facebook page, depicts Lim with his arm around Lee, who is seen holding his hand. Singer-songwriter Juan Karlos Labajo and his rumored girlfriend Dia Mate are also present in the photo.
The snapshot, believed to originate from Watanabe Riding Development, has prompted reactions from fans, particularly those of Kapamilya TV host-actress Kim Chiu.

Chiu and Lim were in a relationship for 12 years before parting ways last year. Although rumors of a third party surfaced during their split, neither party addressed the speculation at the time.

In December 2023, Chiu confirmed their separation through a statement. Lim’s recent photos with Lee have revived discussions among netizens, with some suggesting that Lee may have played a role in the breakup of the KimXi couple.

However, some netizens speculated that there may not have been infidelity, given the already-ended relationship between Lim and Chiu.
As of now, Lim has not issued an official statement regarding the rumors. LionhearTV remains open to any clarifications from Xian regarding the speculation.
