Gillian Vicencio spoke up to dismiss claims she was a third party in Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo’s breakup, with the former appealing for respect for the pair.

Vicencio, who worked with the former couple in the TV series “2 Good 2 Be True,” was earlier being associated with Kathniel’s split after rumors of her supposed September affair with Padilla made rounds on social media.

“Wag niyo po ako idamay dito, hindi po totoo. Bigyan naman po natin sila ng respeto,” Vicencio said via her X (formerly Twitter) page on Friday, Dec. 1. (Do not drag me into this; This is not true. Let’s respect them.)

Prior to this, Vicencio had appeared in the online show “Marites University”—where DJ Jhai Ho is one of the hosts—and belied the allegations of an affair with Padilla.

Bernardo and Padilla on Thursday confirmed that they had ended their 11-year relationship. In Bernardo’s statement, she admitted that they “have been drifting apart for a while now” and that they can’t go back to how they used to be.

For his part, Padilla, who has also been linked to younger actress Andrea Brillantes, vowed that his love for Bernardo would never end.
