Barbie Imperial shut down rumors that she and ex-boyfriend Diego Loyzaga have gotten back together.
The ex-couple recently sparked rumors about their reconciliation after their playful exchange on Barbie’s Instagram post about her new hair color.
In a recent interview with Magandang Buhay, the Kapamilya actress, however stressed that she and Diego remained good friends even after their break up a few months ago.
“Okay po kasi kami. Hindi po kami magka-away pero hindi naman po kami nagkabalikan. Friends lang, friends. Kulitan lang,” said Barbie.
Speculations about Barbie and Diego’s breakup emerged in January weeks after they celebrated their first anniversary as a couple on December 12.
According to Barbie, it took her a while to open up to her mom about her breakup with Diego, admitting that she waited for the actor to win her heart back.
“Ako po parang hinintay ko ng one week, sinolo ko talaga ‘yung break up, as in nasa kwarto lang ako, sobrang lungkot ko talaga. Ako kasi alam ko po talaga na kapag nasasaktan ako mas doble ang sakit para sa nanay ko. So kinimkim ko muna mag-isa, tapos nung medyo kaya ko ng onti doon ko sinabi kay mama tsaka nung sigurado na na break na talaga,” shared Barbie.
Barbie said it was through her mom’s support and advice, and time that helped her cope with her breakup. “Ako po kasi naniniwala talaga ako na ‘yung power ng time na maghi-heal ka talaga. Hindi mo siya kailangang madaliin; darating at darating talaga siya. So patience lang talaga na everyday sasabihin mo sa sarili mo na magiging okay din”.
Months after their split, Barbie is happy to share that she has finally moved on from the breakup.
‘Yung pain part kasi siya ng pagiging tao at ‘di ka magiging ikaw ngayon kung hindi sa pain na na-experience mo sa past,” she said.
She aded, “Ngayon po siyempre sobrang happy na talaga ako. Finally, finally after three months ng breakup namin I am okay na, happy”.
