Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray was seen in tears during TJ Monterde’s concert, ‘Sarili Nating Mundo’, at the Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
Fans quickly took to social media after videos surfaced showing Catriona getting emotional while TJ performed his song ‘Hanggang Dito Na Lang,’ a ballad about heartbreak and parting ways. The moment was amplified when her tearful reaction was shown on the LED screen, prompting the audience to gasp and cheer.

Catriona attended the concert with friends, but what made the moment even more intriguing was the presence of her ex-fiancé, Sam Milby, in the same venue. Based on videos shared by fans, Sam was seated just three seats away from Catriona, though it remains unclear if he noticed her reaction to the song.
The emotional lyrics of ‘Hanggang Dito Na Lang’ resonated deeply, leading fans to speculate whether it was a personal moment for Catriona:
“Akala ko’y habangbuhay tayo
Akala ko’y hanggang dulo
Kay haba pa ng kalsada
Dito na ba tayo bababa?”
Social media users quickly shared their thoughts:
Shitttt ramdam ko yung iyak ni Catriona. Tagos. Wala na ba talagang chance na magkabalikan sila ni Sam? pic.twitter.com/PpnmxiGCnA

Hindi ko kinaya yung pag relapsed ni Catriona sa concert ni Tj while Sam is just few seats away from her lang. And Sam doesn’t care at all. Taena. Hahaha

Is this because of Sam Milby? If that’s the case, Catriona does not deserve him and her tears. The same goes for all guys who awaken a woman’s love and trust only to shatter it and make you doubt your value; they come to you only to break your heart. How selfish.

Catriona and Sam’s breakup remains a topic of speculation, as neither has publicly disclosed the reason behind their split. The two got engaged on February 16, 2023, but by early 2024, breakup rumors had surfaced.
On February 28, 2024, their management agency, Cornerstone Entertainment, released a statement confirming that the couple was going through a rough patch:
“While it is true that Sam and Catriona are currently facing some challenges in their relationship, they are actively working on resolving these issues together.”
Since then, neither party has spoken about their current status, leaving fans to wonder whether emotions from the past still linger.
