Carla Abellana confirms break-up with Geoff Eigenmann

MANILA, Philippines – It’s a sad ending for one of GMA 7’s reel and real life couples.

Actress Carla Abellana confirmed that she and her boyfriend of almost four years, actor Geoff Eigenmann, have broken up.

In a live interview on Startalk Sunday, April 13, Carla broke her silence after weeks of speculation that she and the second son of actress Gina Alajar and Michael de Mesa have called it quits.

“Hindi naman kami puwede magsinungaling, so you know, almost four years din ang relationship namin ni Geoff. I remember I was even the first one na nagsabi ‘yes Geoff and I are together.’ So it’s right I believe na ako na rin ang magsabi that we are no longer together,” Carla told host Heart Evangelista.

(We can’t lie, so you know, our relationship was almost four years. I remember I was even the first one who said that Geoff and I were together. So it’s only right that I am the one to say that we are no longer together.)

Asked for the reason for the break-up, Carla said that they were just too different.

“We are two different people and we are too different. There’s just so many reasons. We don’t share the same values… It was the small things that contributed to just one big thing… We clashed more than we got along, so there are many reasons,” she said in a mix of English and Filipino.

She also dismissed rumors that a third party contributed to their break-up, saying that both of them tried their best to make the relationship work.

When asked if there is chance for her and Geoff to get back together, Carla said: “We’ll see, only God knows.”

In the end, the My Husband’s Lover star thanked her ex-boyfriend.

“Thank you, super thank you talaga for teaching me so much. Thank you for making me a tougher person. I am stronger now, I am tougher now. I was pushed to the limits… So thank you so much for taking care of me, for loving me… I really do sincerely hope and pray na maging okay ang lahat sa atin hindi man as a couple but as individuals (I hope that things will be okay between us if not as a couple, but as individuals),” Carla said.

Rumors of the break-up between the couple surfaced in March, when Geoff was being linked to his Adarna co-star Kylie Padilla. But Carla said that a third party was not the reason for their break-up, saying that the problem was between her and Geoff.

The two were first paired in the local adaptation of Rosalinda, where Carla played the title role and Geoff was her leading man, playing Fernando Jose. Other shows such as The Last Prince and Magic Palayok followed.

Prior to Geoff, Carla was previously in a relationship with basketball star JC Intal, who is now engaged to TV host Bianca Gonzalez. – Rappler.com
