Celebrity couple JakBie, consisting of Jak Roberto and Barbie Forteza, has found themselves at the center of online discussions after a TikTok video featuring Vivamax star Ava Mendez circulated on social media.
In the clip, Mendez alleged that Jak Roberto exhibited inappropriate behavior, particularly being “touchy” when intoxicated, during a birthday celebration.
In a sit-down interview with Madam Lamon Queen, Ava Mendez revealed that she and Jak Roberto were invited by a mutual friend to the event.
She claimed that Jak had consumed a significant amount of alcohol, leading to him becoming “touchy” and somewhat “aggressive” towards her and other girls at the gathering. Mendez expressed her annoyance at being touched while under the influence, clarifying that nothing untoward happened between them.
She also emphasized that Jak is not her type, and she has no intention of getting involved with someone in a relationship.
Reports of the TikTok video quickly spread online, prompting speculation about the fate of the JakBie tandem. Social media users began wondering if JakBie would be the next celebrity couple to part ways, following other high-profile breakups such as KathNiel and KimXi.
As rumors and discussions proliferated, users on various platforms expressed their opinions and curiosity about the unfolding situation. Some humorously speculated about the possibility of JakBie becoming the latest breakup in 2023, given the trend of celebrity splits during the year.
The year 2023 has seen several notable celebrity breakups, with keywords related to love stories and separations dominating online searches. KathNiel, referring to Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla’s 11-year relationship, and KimXi, representing Kim Chiu and Xian Lim’s nearly 12-year romance, were among the well-known showbiz couples who called it quits.
Speculation about the marriage of Sarah Lahbati and Richard Gutierrez has also circulated, although the couple has yet to confirm any separation rumors.
