Kapuso actress and singer Gabbi Garcia confirmed that one of today’s most promising love teams, GabRu, has finally broken up.

Gabbi issued an official statement via Twitter on Tuesday, May 22, regarding the breakup of her love team with actor Ruru Madrid.

“I know some of you may have a hard time accepting what is currently on our plates right now, but please, more than anything, look at the brighter side that we get to grow not only as artists, but as individuals in our personal lives as well,” the 19-year-old actress said.

Gabbi said that she has learned a lot from previous years, may it be in terms of personal life or career. She noted that she got to know herself better on how to handle situations and how to manage emotions as well.

“Strength and self-worth, indeed,” Gabbi said.

“For that, I would like to thank everybody who supported GabRu for the past four years. It has been a great journey filled with endless learnings and love. Your presence and support were unquestionable, and I never felt alone all throughout the journey,” she added.

While some of their fans may not be okay with the breakup of the on-screen love team, Gabbi said that she still hoped for their understanding.

“I do hope we spread peace and positivity and remain happy for the success and future projects of each one. I hope that this clears the mind of everybody who’s asking about this,” the young actress said.

Gabbi’s statement came after she defended herself on social media from netizens who were blaming her for the split.

Responding to a now-deleted tweet, the “All I Need” singer said, “I just don’t see the point. Why always put the blame on me?”

She then followed up with two more tweets, saying: “I remained loyal since 2014? Idk (I do not know) I just really don’t see the point.”

“Hanggang sa huli (Until the end), I remained loyal. Sooo can you guys chill? Lol,” she added.

On Monday, May 21, GMA Artist Center also released a statement regarding the split of the GabRu love team, stressing that it wants to give Ruru and Gabbi various projects that will enhance their full potential as artists.

“We want to explore various possibilities and for now, they will have individual projects,” it said.

“We fully support their careers and likewise assure their fans and followers that they will still be seen in different Kapuso programs,” it added.

Gabbi and Ruru’s love team began when they both starred in a rom-com series “Let The Love Begin” in 2015. The two artists were last seen working together in the show “Sherlock Jr.”
