Trans content creator and former ‘Miss Q&A’ finalist Lars Pacheco has admitted to cheating on her longtime boyfriend, Clyde Vivas, three times before ultimately deciding to end their seven-year relationship.
On Thursday, August 21, Pacheco posted a five-minute video on Facebook to address speculations following her surprise breakup announcement the night before. She said she wanted to “end all the questions and rumors” and directly admitted to being unfaithful.
“So I cheated on him—once, twice, thrice. And I couldn’t stand seeing him loving me so much with all his heart,” Pacheco said.
Pacheco recalled three separate incidents of infidelity: The first was a one-night stand with a Taiwanese national she met in Makati while drinking with a friend. The second involved a man she met at a bar while working out of town, with whom she developed feelings despite not having an intimate relationship. “I miss the feeling of being important to someone,” she admitted. The third, which she called the “worst,” happened when Vivas himself unknowingly dropped her off to meet a man from Portugal.
“If I still love him, I wouldn’t do such things,” Pacheco reflected, saying she could no longer forgive herself for that moment.
She stressed that her confession was not something she was proud of but a way to take accountability and move forward. “I know I did what I did. I’m not proud of it. But this is the answer, coming straight from my mouth,” she said.
Shortly after Pacheco’s video, Vivas also addressed the issue in a 10-minute clip on his own Facebook page. While visibly emotional, he urged the public to stop attacking his former partner online.
“Huwag niyo nang i-bash si Lars kasi naaawa ako eh. Mas maganda kung suportahan na lang natin siya kung ano man desisyon niya sa buhay ngayon kasi ganoon na lang din gagawin ko,” Vivas said, tearing up as he admitted he was deeply hurt by the breakup.
Despite the pain, he expressed gratitude for their time together: “Sa loob ng seven years, ang dami ko ring natutunan sa kaniya talaga. Sobrang thankful ko dahil nakilala kita talaga… Gusto ko lang din sabihin sa’yo na mahal na mahal kita pero kailangan kitang i-let go.”
On Wednesday night, Pacheco shocked followers with a black-and-white photo of her and Vivas embracing, captioned: “7 years it was. No regrets just memories made. I wish you healing. I wish myself forgiveness.”
Pacheco, who has 1.9 million followers on Facebook, also represented the Philippines at the Miss International Queen 2023 pageant, where she placed in the Top 6.
