Andi Eigenmann merely laughed off speculations that she and her fiancé, Philmar Alipayo, have separated just because she and their kids went to Japan without him.
The actress showed moments from their recent Japan trip which they enjoyed with her half-brother, actor Gabby Eigenmann, and his family, as seen on her Instagram page on Friday, May 3.
“I literally went on a vacation with my brother and our kids, and [came] home to find out, through the internet, that I’ve just been separated,” she wrote in the caption, adding a laughing face emoji.
While Andi did not expound on such claims, it can be noted that her comments sections have been swarmed with netizens who were asking about Alipayo’s absence from the trip, and the pair’s supposed breakup.
Some even pointed out that Alipayo did not hit like on Andi’s recent Instagram posts.
“The internet didn’t seem to like that I was grieving the loss of my nanay. Apparently, according to them, I had been faking my sadness about it all along. (Not enough social media posts perhaps?),” Andi seemingly lamented, referring to the recent death of her actress mom Jaclyn Jose.
Due to this, the internet has decided that the reason for my sadness is not that I have recently been an orphan but in fact, a divorcee (even if I had never been married). Helpppp,” she added, alongside two rolling on the floor laughing emoji.
Andi expressed her grief in a separate post, sharing a quote from Instagram user @sara_rian_books that reads: “My grief is a lot of me hoping that your soul, spirit [and] energy went somewhere as beautiful as you; and even more of me missing the being, body [and] person that once held it all.”
Andi added as caption, “When I walk around this city and I remember that heading home to see her, to sit around, to chat and cackle for hours on end, cannot be an option anymore, I think to myself, ‘So this is what it feels like to drown.’”
Meanwhile, Alipayo also dismissed the breakup rumors after he shared photos of Andi through his Instagram page.
Just prior to her Japan trip, Andi and Alipayo were together at a hospital as he underwent a medical test for his congenital heart defect.
The pair, who have been engaged since December 2020, earlier disclosed that they postponed their 2024 wedding in view of Jose’s recent death.
Andi and Alipayo have two children together named Lilo and Koa. Aside from her two kids, Andi has a daughter named Ellie with actor Jake Ejercito. Alipayo, meanwhile, also has a child from a previous relationship.
