Xian Lim has yet to clarify the status of his relationship with longtime girlfriend Kim Chiu, but he has been keeping himself busy in the company of a certain female — a female puppet, that is.

The quintessential actor is  taking part in the “Lover” challenge, which is an apparent reference to the hit song by Taylor Swift. The challenge features someone doing some sort of a mirror selfie using their phone before gently pulling their significant other into the frame.

Lim, however, did his own take of the trend on his Instagram account last Tuesday, Nov. 28, using a wide-eyed, red-haired puppet, with which the actor acted as if he was in an affectionate relationship. He then captioned his post with a heart emoji.

The comments on the “Hearts on Ice” star’s post are turned off, as of this writing.

Lim and Chiu have yet to address rumors of their supposed breakup. The actress, however, denied their separation on multiple occasions, noting their longstanding relationship is a matter that should be kept between them.

“Grabe. Sa amin na lang muna ‘yun. We’ll just keep it to ourselves na muna,” she was quoted as saying.

Lim and Chiu have been together since 2012, although their relationship was confirmed six years later.
