After months of speculation, cryptic posts, and rumors swirling across social media, Angel Locsin has finally spoken out — revealing the truth behind her controversial split with husband Neil Arce. In a heartfelt and emotionally raw interview, the actress and philanthropist opened up about what really led to their separation, silencing the noise with honesty and grace.

“I owe it to the people who believed in us” – Angel Locsin Tells All

Speaking for the first time since news of the breakup exploded online, Angel admitted that it wasn’t an easy decision — nor one that happened overnight.

“We tried. We really did. But sometimes, love alone isn’t enough. There were differences, personal growth, and things we couldn’t align anymore,” she shared, her voice cracking with emotion.

She clarified that there was no third party involved, putting to rest the numerous speculations linking both her and Neil to other personalities.

“This wasn’t about betrayal. It was about choosing peace over pretense. We both deserve to be happy — even if it means being apart,” she added.

From Fairytale to Farewell: What Happened to Angel & Neil?

Angel and Neil, once considered one of the most grounded and inspiring couples in Philippine showbiz, tied the knot in a simple yet elegant civil wedding in 2021. Their relationship — built on friendship, trust, and shared values — was admired by many.

However, fans began to notice signs of trouble late last year. Fewer public appearances, missing rings, and noticeably distant body language all sparked whispers of a breakup. But Angel remained silent — until now.

No Bitterness, Only Gratitude

Despite the pain, Angel made it clear there is no animosity between them.

“Neil will always be someone I respect. He was there for me during the hardest times of my life. That kind of loyalty doesn’t fade — it transforms,” Angel said.

She revealed that they are now focusing on healing and navigating life separately, but with mutual respect.

Neil Arce Reacts to Angel’s Statement

Shortly after Angel’s interview aired, Neil Arce posted a short message on his social media:

“We shared something real. Wishing you nothing but peace and happiness.”

His post has since gone viral, with many netizens applauding the maturity shown by both sides.

Fans and Friends Send Their Love

As expected, social media exploded with mixed emotions — heartbreak, support, and messages of admiration for Angel’s bravery.

“It takes so much strength to walk away from something you love. Angel Locsin, you are one of the realest in this industry,” one user commented.

Celebrities including Iza Calzado, Dimples Romana, and Anne Curtis also sent their love and support to Angel in the comments section.

Angel’s Next Chapter

Though the wounds are still fresh, Angel remains hopeful.

“Life doesn’t end with heartbreak. Sometimes, it’s where a stronger version of you begins,” she ended.

As she turns the page, Angel Locsin proves once again why she remains one of the most respected and admired figures in Philippine showbiz — not just for her talent, but for her strength and truth.

Angel Locsin-Neil Arce Divorce, Dimples Romana Denies
Kapamilya actress Dimples Romana denied the rumors that the couple Angel Locsin and Neil Arce are divorced.

In a report by ABS-CBN News on Sunday, April 14, Dimples confirmed that Angel is still happily married.

Angel is currently on a social media hiatus and the actress seems to be enjoying herself, according to a report published in September 2023, contrary to what many people think. “I get to see her, she’s very, very happy and happily married, and Neil is taking very good care of her,” Dimples said.

“The thing is, people are so involved with social media that we think if we don’t see married people posting online together, it seems like they’re divorced! No po! It doesn’t mean not being on social media, it doesn’t mean it’s not happening,” she said.

She added: “Sometimes a little off of social media can do you good. Usually, your frustrations come from social media, your comparisons with the lives of others, and when you pause a little bit and know that not everything on social media can be helpful to you, you’ll be able to recognize that you too can have a happy life like Neil and Angel, who are mostly offline but they’re very, very happy.”

It should be noted that this is not the first time Dimples has spoken out about her best friend’s condition.
