What was supposed to be one of the most highly anticipated love team reunions in Philippine television history has just been shut down — and fans are not taking it well.

Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales, once hailed as the ultimate teleserye couple during their iconic run in “Pangako Sa ‘Yo,” were reportedly set to reunite in a major network drama project. But just when everything seemed ready, the reunion was abruptly canceled — and Oyo Boy Sotto, Kristine’s real-life husband, is now at the center of speculation.

💔 The Love Team That Defined an Era

Kristine and Jericho defined an entire generation’s idea of romance, with their unforgettable chemistry onscreen sparking real-life dating rumors and a cult-like following. Their breakup, both professionally and personally, was a heartbreak that fans never fully recovered from.

So when news broke earlier this year that a reunion project was in the works, social media exploded with excitement.

“We waited two decades for this!”
“Finally, EchoTin is back!”

But that joy was short-lived.

🚫 Project Abruptly Shelved — Why?

Sources from within the production team confirmed that the project was real and initially greenlit, with both actors approached and early talks progressing smoothly.

However, just as preparations were beginning, Kristine Hermosa reportedly backed out — and the reason? Personal considerations involving her husband, Oyo Sotto.

😳 Oyo Sotto “Not Comfortable”?

While neither Kristine nor Oyo have publicly addressed the matter, insiders claim that Oyo allegedly expressed concerns about his wife working intimately again with a former flame.

“He wasn’t angry,” a source clarified. “But he made it clear that he wasn’t comfortable with the pairing. And Kristine chose to respect that.”

The decision reportedly caused tension behind the scenes, as the network had already begun early promos and budget planning.

💬 Fans DIVIDED

As news broke online, fans were split down the middle:

“Oyo should be more secure. This is just acting. He’s hurting her legacy.”

“Kristine is a devoted wife. I respect her decision to protect her marriage.”

“Jericho and Kristine were magic. This could’ve been history in the making.”

Others defended Oyo, saying that boundaries in a marriage should be respected, especially when it comes to past romantic links.

😢 Jericho’s Silent Reaction

As of now, Jericho Rosales has remained silent, but close sources say he was “disappointed but understanding” of Kristine’s decision. Those close to him say he had high hopes for the project and was looking forward to working with Kristine again after so many years.

💔 Is This the End of EchoTin?

This latest development has crushed hopes for a revival of one of the most iconic tandems in teleserye history. But some fans remain hopeful:

“Maybe not now… but someday. We’re not giving up on EchoTin.”

🧨 Final Word

This is more than just a canceled project — it’s a clash between legacy and loyalty, between fan dreams and real-life responsibilities. Kristine Hermosa has chosen her family over fame. And while the world may never see EchoTin together again, it’s clear that her heart belongs to only one leading man — and that’s Oyo Sotto.

Kristine Hermosa, Oyo Boy Sotto’s teen intrigues Jericho Rosales
Even though Kristine Hermosa and her husband Oyo Boy Sotto are living a quiet and happy life, they are still being followed by ‘nega’, particularly the intrigue with the actress’s ex-boyfriend Jericho Rosales.

In Kristine’s birthday appreciation and greetings post to her son Kiel, several netizens tried to make the teen Jericho look like him.

Some comments said that Kiel looks like the Kapamilya actor.

@lettie526, Happy birthday. parang kamuka sya ni??

@saidinjazz83, “looks like JERICHO rosales face.”

But the said netizens were unsuccessful because they were met with insults and scolding from fans and soliders of Kristine and Oyo.

Several responded to the comment to be careful what they say because the couple’s son is still underage.

But in reality, Kristine and Oyo’s son looks a lot like him, especially Oyo who inherited Kiel’s color and eyes.

Kiel is a future artist because of his handsomeness, which immediately captivated netizens.

The post included various pictures of Kiel that show the child’s kindness and handsomeness from all angles.

Meanwhile, in Kristine’s message caption, she reminded people to be grateful in all circumstances.

“Happy birthday Kiel! I hope you know and feel how much you are loved. May you honor the Lord with your life and may you may always be reminded to be grateful in all circumstances. We are blessed to have you. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
