Kapuso actor Jak Roberto has chosen to stay silent following the announcement of his breakup with actress Barbie Forteza.
The couple, who had been together for seven years, was one of the most admired pairs in the local entertainment industry.
Barbie Forteza broke the news on her Instagram account, expressing gratitude for the years they shared while bidding farewell to their relationship.
In her heartfelt post, she wrote: “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened. – Dr. Seuss
“Having you in my life was the happiest I had ever been. Seven wonderful years. A lot of laughs, a lot of ramen, and so much love.
“Your love was exceptional.
“But sometimes, good things fall apart so better things can come together.
“Beautiful goodbye, @jakroberto.
“Thank you for loving me the way you did. I am excited for what’s to come for both of us. You take care of yourself. May you find the love you deserve.
“I hope for everyone’s understanding and I wish you can help us put this matter into rest.”

Barbie’s post was accompanied by photos of the couple, marking the end of an era for their fans. Despite the emotional note, she refrained from sharing details about the reason behind their breakup.
The announcement triggered an outpouring of reactions from netizens. Many expressed sadness and heartbreak over the end of their relationship, while others speculated about possible reasons for the split.
Some fans pointed fingers at Barbie’s on-screen partner, David Licauco, as a potential factor, though no concrete evidence supports this claim. Meanwhile, issues involving Jak and sexy star Ava Mendez have also resurfaced, adding fuel to the online discussions.
Despite the chatter, both Jak and Barbie have remained tight-lipped about the rumors. Jak, in particular, has maintained a low profile, with his last social media post dating back to New Year’s Day. His Instagram account now has limited comment access, signaling a desire for privacy.
Jak and Barbie’s relationship was admired for its longevity and authenticity, making the news of their breakup even more surprising. As Barbie wrote in her post, their time together was filled with love and happiness, but even good things sometimes come to an end.
While Barbie’s post has provided some closure to fans, Jak’s silence has left many wondering about his side of the story. For now, both stars seem focused on moving forward, with Barbie expressing excitement about what lies ahead for them individually.
