Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto, the famous couple of Philippine showbiz, have officially broken up after seven years together. This information was confirmed by Barbie through an Instagram post on January 2, 2025.

In the post, Barbie shared: “Having you in my life was the happiest time of my life. Seven wonderful years with lots of laughter, lots of ramen, and lots of love. Your love is special. But sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can come.”

She also sent thanks to Jak: “Thank you for loving me the way you do. I can’t wait for what’s next for both of us. Take care of yourself. I hope you find the love you deserve.”

Barbie ended the post with the hope that everyone will understand and help them close this issue: “I hope everyone will understand and help us put this issue in the past.”

Jak Roberto has yet to make any public comments about the breakup.

Barbie and Jak started dating in 2017 after meeting on the set of “Meant To Be”. Throughout their relationship, they were known for their strong affection and mutual support in their careers. However, in 2023, their relationship attracted special attention when Barbie collaborated with a new co-star, David Licauco, in the film “Maria Clara at Ibarra”. However, both have always affirmed their trust and lack of jealousy in their work.

 

Their breakup came as a surprise to many fans, especially since the two have recently shared happy moments together on social media. Currently, the specific reason for the breakup has not been revealed, and both want the public to respect their privacy during this time.
