Vlogger Crisha Uy and actor Joem Bascon were together for eight years before their breakup. Joem revealed that they were no longer together in December 2019, saying that the split was "uncontrollable." Crisha also talked about their breakup in an emotional vlog in January 2020, saying that she was struggling to accept that he "fell out of love."
A year later, on New Year's Day 2021, Joem and Meryll Soriano revealed that they had gotten back together and that they have a child, sharing several photos on Instagram. Meryll and Joem first became a couple in 2008.
In a 13-minute video called "Reacting to Comments About ME And My EX (LAST NA 'TO HA?)," Crisha said that she decided to react to all the social media comments and ~chismis~. "I remember that photo that was released that day, it was uploaded before my birthday and then nag-flood ng tags, mentions, comments, then I thought it was an early birthday greeting. Tapos ayun pala pasabog!" A laughing Crisha talked about the mentions and comments, saying, "Gusto niyo yata ako saktan, pero thank you sa concern niyo...Na-feel ko ang pagmamahal, na-feel ko ang concern. And alam ko na gusto niyo akong i-update, gusto niyong malaman ko kung ano yung nangyayari...But 'wag na kayong mag-alala kasi yung totoo, alam ko talaga, alam ko na 'yon."
Crisha revealed that since she and Joem have been together for eight years, they have the same set of friends, and they were the ones who told her the news. "Yes, alam ko na yung totoo, alam ko yung relationship nila, their bundle of blessing, long way before pa noong na-upload 'yan."
The vlogger shared that she was *mad* after reading articles about the "reveal:" "Nagalit ako kasi bumalik yung feelings ko na I was betrayed all over again. Iba pala yung feeling na nakita mo versus yung kinuwento or chinika lang sa'yo. Feeling ko kasi kailangan ko ilabas yung naramdaman ko that day, yung galit ko, yung sakit na 'yon...Hindi dahil mahal ko pa siya, kasi naka-move on na ako e. Ano lang, finally, na-confirm ko na nagsinungaling talaga siya noon, that I was lied to. Kasi I gave them the benefit of the doubt e, before. Pero 'yon nga, sampal pala sa mukha noong nakita ko. Sampal sa mukha na tama pala yung hinala ko noon...na finally, girl, confirmed! Ganoon yung feeling." Don't worry though, she's okay now!
At the end of the video, Crisha said, "Ang greatest takeaway sa lahat ng ito, including the recent [news], ang importance ng honesty...Honesty shouldn't be only sa ligawan stage, during the relationship, or in-love kayo sa isa't isa, dapat honest rin kayo kahit sa isang failure sa isang relationship. Kahit sa breakup stage, kahit masakit. Kasi if may honesty, may maiiwan na respeto sa isa't isa." You can watch the full video here.
