A storm of controversy has just hit showbiz headlines — Cristine Reyes and Marco Gumabao are allegedly over, and the reason? Sources claim that the actress has “had enough of being the one who spends” in their relationship.

While both camps have yet to issue an official statement, social media is ablaze with speculation: Did money — or the lack of financial balance — become the final straw that ended what many thought was a blossoming romance?

“Pagod na si Cristine?” – Rumors Shake Fans

According to a close source who allegedly witnessed tension between the couple during their recent public appearance, Cristine was visibly “cold” towards Marco, and their interactions appeared strained. The source revealed:

“Mukhang hindi na masaya si Cristine. Parang siya na lang palagi ang gumagastos — sa travel, sa dates, sa lahat.”

These whispers quickly gained traction online, with some netizens saying that Cristine’s recent cryptic posts — including one that read “A queen doesn’t chase, she chooses” — were signs that she had already emotionally checked out.

Marco Gumabao Under Fire: “Boyfriend o dependent?”

With Cristine allegedly footing most of the bills during their relationship, criticism quickly turned toward Marco. Fans of the actress asked:

“Where was Marco when Cristine was providing? Was it a one-sided love story dressed up as a power couple?”

Some fans defended Marco, pointing out that he’s had consistent acting work and isn’t known to live a lavish lifestyle, but others weren’t convinced.

Cristine’s Inner Circle Reacts

Though Cristine has remained tight-lipped, an insider from her circle allegedly shared that the actress has been feeling emotionally and financially drained for months.

“Cristine has always been generous. But she’s also a mom, a provider for her child. It’s not fair if she’s expected to carry the entire weight of the relationship too.”

The same source noted that Cristine’s priorities have shifted and that she’s “not looking for a man to support — she wants a partner.”

No Confirmation, But The Silence Is Deafening

As of now, both Cristine and Marco have not confirmed or denied the breakup. Their Instagram pages, however, tell a quiet story: no recent couple photos, no sweet captions — and notably, no signs of each other.

Fans have flooded their comments sections with questions, most of which remain unanswered.

Netizens React: “Cristine Deserves Better” Trends

Support for Cristine has poured in online, with many applauding her for (allegedly) choosing self-respect over staying in a relationship that no longer served her.

“Being beautiful isn’t enough. Being smart with your heart AND your wallet — that’s queen energy,” one user wrote on X.

If the rumors are true, this breakup may serve as a strong reminder to many that love alone isn’t enough — balance, support, and mutual respect are key. As fans wait for an official word, one thing is certain: Cristine Reyes knows her worth — and she’s not afraid to walk away when it’s not being honored.

Marco Gumabao, Cristine Reyes confirmed to be separated, what’s up?
A source close to Cristine Reyes and Marco Gumabao confirmed that the celebrity couple has separated.

In the latest episode of “Showbiz Update,” Ogie Diaz shared that a source had teased them that the two had indeed broken up. Earlier, there was talk that Cristine and Maco’s relationship was on the rocks after it was reported that the two unfollowed each other on Instagram.

“Well, someone close to the two confirmed this to us. Yes, they have split,” said Ogie Diaz. According to the talent manager, that’s all they were told and there was no other reason why Marco and Cristine broke up.

“They were both sad about what happened, and that the relationship lasted two years. So let’s wait and see who of the two will be the first to speak out,” added Ogie.

It is possible that once the elections are over, Marco will speak about the situation.

The young man is currently running as a congressman in the 4th district of Camarines Sur.

It can be recalled that Cristine accompanied him in October 2024 when he submitted his certificate of candidacy (COC) to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Meanwhile, Cristine and Marco have not yet made any statements or reactions regarding their separation.
