Why Did Liza Soberano And Enrique Gil Break Up?
Well, after years of rumors and wishful thinking from fans, we finally got it straight from Liza herself: Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil broke up almost three years ago—yes, all the way back in 2022. I know, right? Feels like only yesterday people were tweeting #LizQuenForever and speculating about a grand wedding. Turns out, real life has a funny way of throwing curveballs at the most beloved reel-to-real couples.
Liza dropped the truth bomb on a recent episode of the podcast on August 2025 “Can I Come In?”—and boy, you could almost hear millions of hearts drop through the floor. She admitted, “Quen and I broke up… almost three years ago.” Honestly, she’d been itching to tell everyone, but hey, protecting hearts isn’t as easy as it looks in teleseryes. Apparently, both Liza and Enrique kept the news private, partly because Enrique requested it and partly because—get ready—the breakup just didn’t feel real yet, even to them.
So, why did they split up? The reason isn’t some wild scandal or showbiz intrigue. Liza described it with a kind of gentle sadness you could almost picture in a romantic movie montage—it wasn’t dramatic, just that their “values and the way we see life doesn’t just align anymore.” She talked candidly about growing apart and needing space to explore what they truly wanted, especially as her career was breaking out internationally, while Enrique was contemplating settling down and starting a family. “I came to the point where I didn’t know if that’s what I wanted anymore," she confided, “because there’s so much more I wanted to achieve and he’s older than me”.
A couple of poignant notes:
- Liza said she struggled with actually saying goodbye—because she loved him, and still does, just in a new way. (Cue soft sigh.)
- The breakup itself was “full of love.” No epic fights or betrayal, just recognizing they’re “not a match anymore.” Can we get an award for Most Mature Breakup, please?
- The decision to keep it hush-hush had a lot to do with that classic showbiz worry: “My career would go bad, or you know, people just wouldn’t love me anymore.” Her anxiety over letting fans down? Pretty relatable—who hasn’t dreaded disappointing someone, even if you know it’s best for you?
Honestly, their story is weirdly comforting in a way. Yes, even icons can be scared of change, struggle with tough conversations, and hang onto things for fear of letting people down. It’s a reminder that sometimes, love is what’s left after you decide to walk separate paths—and not every “forever” has to end with drama. LizQuen may be no more, but their breakup feels like one of those bittersweet chapters you remember with warmth rather than regret.
