GMA-7 refuted the news that the network will release a confirmation that Heart Evangelista and Senator Chiz Escudero are separated.

This is after the art card of Pilipino Star Ngayon spread on social media this Thursday morning, September 8, 2022.

It said: “GMA-7 will issue an official statement to confirm the divorce of Sen. Chiz Escudero and Heart Evangelista.”

The report of the online tabloid also mentioned Heart’s Kapuso status, which is under the care of Sparkle, the talent management arm of GMA-7.

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) found out if there is an official statement from GMA-7 on the rumored situation of the couple Heart and Chiz.

“Not true,” answered Angel Javier-Cruz to the news that GMA Network will confirm that Heart and Chiz are separated.

This is based on the exchange of messages between Karen Pagsolingan, PEP Executive Editor, and Javier-Cruz, GMA Vice President for Corporate Affairs and Communications.

GMA-7 also has no statement on any reported marital issues between Heart and Chiz.

HEART DROPS SURNAME FROM IG BIO

Meanwhile, there has been talk in showbiz for a month if Heart and Chiz are going through marital problems.

It did not escape the critical netizens when Heart removed the last name “Escudero” from his Instagram bio.

If her full name Love Marie Ongpauco Escudero used to be written there, it just became Love Marie.

Netizens noticed that as early as August 8, 2022.

Before that, on July 31, 2022, Heart and Chiz were spotted together on the red carpet of the GMA Thanksgiving Gala Night at Shangri-La BGC, Taguig City.

But it is said that the look of sadness in Heart’s eyes was noticeable and that he did not smile much despite the happy occasion.

Netizens are persistently speculating about the state of the relationship between the two, especially when Heart released her YouTube vlog on Friday, September 2, 2022.

Heart admitted that she has been going through “personal stuff” on her mind lately.

Sabi pa niya, “Like, I feel a lot of pressure in my life and, basically now, I am really in a search for just being happy.”

Heart’s statement seemed cryptic when he described that what makes him happy are his two pet dogs, Panda and Shuti, and there was no mention of Mr. Chiz.

The actress further emphasized in the vlog the importance of having “inner strength,” being “independent,” and doing things without relying on other people.

As of the writing of this article, Heart and Chiz have not commented on the issue.
