Speculation has surfaced online after netizens noticed that married couple Mark Herras and Nicole Donesa have allegedly unfollowed each other on Instagram, days after Herras shared a deeply emotional video that alarmed fans and fellow celebrities.
The unfollow sightings came after Herras posted a short video on Thursday, February 5, 2026, showing him visibly distressed and breaking down in tears. The clip was captioned “Kulong sa Sistema”, accompanied by an alien emoji, but offered no explanation as to what triggered his emotional state.
Herras has yet to release an official statement clarifying the meaning behind the video. However, circulating speculation suggests the issue may be connected to the house the couple is reportedly building. According to unverified reports, certain aspects of the project did not go smoothly. Sources claim that Herras’ former house in Quezon City had already been demolished to make way for major renovations, though no specific details have been confirmed.
Following the video, fans and celebrities flooded the comment section with messages of support and concern. Among those who reached out were Rocco Nacino, Rochelle Pangilinan, Kris Bernal, Sheena Halili, Rodjun Cruz, Katrina Halili, and Carla Abellana.
Amid the outpouring of concern, eagle-eyed netizens pointed out that Herras and Donesa no longer appear on each other’s following lists on Instagram—fueling rumors of possible marital issues. LionhearTV checked both accounts but, as of writing, there has been no confirmation or statement from either camp regarding the unfollow reports.
Nicole’s most recent Instagram post, meanwhile, focused on her personal journey, sharing her preparation for a weight-loss regimen aimed at regaining her pre-pregnancy figure.
Herras and Donesa met in 2019 on the set of the GMA Network drama series ‘Bihag’. Herras rose to fame after winning as the first Ultimate Male Survivor of ‘StarStruck’ in 2003, while Donesa was a beauty pageant contender before entering showbiz, having been named Third Princess at Miss World Philippines 2014. The couple tied the knot in 2021 and share two children, a son and a daughter.
As of now, the rumors remain unverified, with fans awaiting clarity from the couple amid growing online speculation.
