Has Janine Gutierrez finally spoken up about the cheating issue hounding her breakup with fellow actor Rayver Cruz?

There are speculations from fans that the breakup may have been caused by a third party from Cruz’s end. Meanwhile, Gutierrez faced some playful questioning on the matter, from the hosts of  “It’s Showtime” during her guesting there with her mom, actress LotLot de Leon, last Saturday, Dec. 11.

In a segment of the show, the actress was asked, “When would it be okay for her ex to find someone new?” to which Gutierrez answered, “‘Pag naka-move on ka na.” (When you have already moved on.)

“Kasi pag naka-move on ka na, e ‘di wala ka nang [pakialam],” she explained. (Because when you have already moved on, you don’t care anymore.)

Host Vice Ganda then followed up with the question, “Naka-move on ka na?” (Have you moved on already?)

Gutierrez did not immediately respond, instead she joked that the microphone was off and that she had no means to answer.

The cheating issue was seemingly brought up again at some point during the show when she was choosing her answers in a game but was then asked by Vice Ganda, “Ay mas maganda ka sa pinalit sa ‘yo?” (Are you prettier than the one you were replaced with?)

Very soon, another host, Kim Chiu, just blurted it all out in her own question.

“Real talk — pinapaglit ka ba, Janine? Hindi ko pa kasi nakakausap ‘yon e,” Chiu asked Gutierrez, without mentioning Cruz’s name. (Real talk — Did he replace you? I still haven’t talked to him yet.)

“Wala namang ano, gan’on,” Gutierrez answered with a laugh. (There’s nothing like that.)

De Leon, who was with Gutierrez in the segment, was also asked about her sentiments on the issue concerning her daughter.

“Ako, wala akong [pakialam], actually. Wala akong pakialam. Go, move forward,” she said, toughly though in jest. (I don’t really care, actually. I don’t care. Go, move forward.)

Gutierrez and Cruz started dating in 2017. Though there were speculations last November that the two have split, they still haven’t formally or publicly confirmed their breakup, as of this writing. JB
