After more than a decade since Liz Uy and John Lloyd Cruz broke up, the stylist stated that their relationship was “true love.”

Uy spoke about her and Cruz’s time as a couple during an interview with writer G3 San Diego, who posted it on her YouTube channel on Oct. 26.

The writer mentioned Cruz while she noted how Uy managed to bring her work in fashion to the entertainment industry. San Diego also described Uy as one of the first people who earned respect in both industries.

“Jinowa mo kasi si John Lloyd Cruz kaya nangyari iyon (You made John Lloyd Cruz your boyfriend, that is why it happened),” San Diego said in jest.

“Baka din naman nakatulong din iyon,” Uy replied while laughing. “Pero true love naman iyon. Hindi naman jinowa lang.”

(Maybe it did help. But that was true love. I did not just make him my boyfriend.)

Uy and Cruz began dating back in 2006, as per the Philippine Entertainment Portal.

When San Diego asked how long Uy and Cruz were together, the stylist said that she did not remember since she and Cruz have different answers. Uy recalls that they were a couple for two years but Cruz says it was three.

The writer then joked that the reason Cruz’s answer was longer is because he could not get over her for a whole year. Uy later explained that she and Cruz broke up due to their differences and their young age at the time.

Years after they split, Isabelle Daza introduced Uy to her now-fiancé, businessman Raymond Racaza, in 2016. The next year, they welcomed their first child together, whom they named Xavi.

The stylist announced her engagement to Racaza on Oct. 27. Ryan Arcadio/NVG
