After being together for over a decade, the two’s separation shook the Filipino entertainment industry, with fans quickly speculating about the reason behind their split. Bernardo and Padilla have been together since their teens and have grown up as a couple in the public eye, often marketed as a celebrity couple. Fans are calling this the end of an era.

Addressing the media attention honed in on the news, Bernardo released a statement on her Instagram account last Friday with a photo of her and Padilla as teenagers. In the statement to her 19 million followers, Bernardo thanked fans for their support and love for herself and Padilla, urging them to refrain from taking sides.

She maintains that the couple had grown apart for quite some time and sees no real chance of things returning to the way they once were. Still, she says the relationship accounted for 11 wonderful years and that Padilla remains dear to her: “Our love story began with respect and ended with respect.”

Expressing a similar sentiment, Padilla released a statement on his Instagram thanking Bernardo: “Thank you for dancing with me during my highs and singing with me during my lows.”

Here, we look at the former couple’s most memorable on-screen moments throughout the years and how they coincided with their real-life romance.
