Dominic Roque had a boys’ day out with his celebrity friends Richard Gutierrez, Dingdong Dantes, Kim Atienza and more, days after his breakup confirmation with former fiancée Bea Alonzo.
On Instagram, Roque posed for photos as he and his friends gathered for another friend’s birthday celebration.
Roque and Gutierrez have been both the center of recent headlines after their separation from Alonzo and wife Sarah Lahbati, respectively.
Lahbati was recently spotted third-wheeling in Nadine Lustre’s date with her non-showbiz boyfriend Christophe Bariou, while Alonzo was spotted spending time with her family in Singapore and was recently surprised by her home staff on Valentine’s Day.
On Feb. 11, Roque and Alonzo officially confirmed their separation through a joint statement after TV host Boy Abunda had initially announced their breakup.
“After much thought, consideration, and care, we have mutually decided to amicably end our engagement. It was not an easy decision,” wrote the former couple.
They earlier asked for kindness and privacy amid the breakup speculations, as well as pointed out that non-parties had disclosed their separation without their “consent.”
“Unfortunately some even confirmed our breakup without our consent, created ridiculous stories that had no basis and were utterly false,” they said.
“We sincerely request for everyone to kindly spare us from more cruel and very hurtful words thrown on social media. We kindly request to give us the privacy we need as we navigate our future lives with respect, kindness, compassion, and dignity,” the former couple concluded.
Meanwhile, Gutierrez and Lahbati have yet to confirm their separation following the recent news that the two were living separately but co-parenting their two children.
The “Starstruck” alumna recently shared in an interview with Cosmopolitan Philippines that she and Gutierrez are “okay,” as she noted that she tries to currently “work on herself.”
As for the “Lupin” actor, he has yet to comment on his current relationship status with Lahbati.
Breakup rumors about the two were fueled by the actor’s mother, Anabelle Rama, after her statement criticizing Lahbati’s spending attitude.
