Relationships are among the most intimate and priceless things that can exist between two lovers or two unique individuals. From the outside, it may appear to be as powerful and sturdy as a rock, but there are some that are as fragile as glass and are liable to break at any time due to a bad choice. 

There are several reasons why a relationship between two people who are committed to one another might end; they may be related to long distance, disagreements, differences,  or perhaps they just grew apart and the relationship ended amicably. However, the most frequent reason is infidelity. All of these behaviors—infidelity, unfaithfulness, and two-timing—are the result of a terrible decision or choice that ends a relationship, destroys a home, and breaks the heart of the innocents. Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, homosexual or of any other sexual orientation, cheating comes in all shapes and sizes. You may be common, wealthy, or well-known; even famous figures in the industry  and celebrities engage in cheating that has been a norm in society. Cheating is betrayal, a disrespectful act, a selfish commitment to satisfy your wants, and a cruel way of hurting a person, especially your other half and your children without even thinking how they would feel.

As mentioned, in the Philippines, infamous athletes, politicians, and famous artists have had their fair share of ‘cheating’ scandals in the past years. From veteran actors such as Pops Fernandez and Martin Nievera, the Bea Alonzo-Gerald Anderson- Julia Barreto ‘ghosting’ issue, and Kylie Padilla and Aljur Abrenica’s failed marriage to name a few. With the start of the year 2023, explosive revelations of cheating once more headline on social media. Volleyball star Jen Nierva and professional Esports player Tristan Cabrera, popularly known as Yawi started the first day of the year going viral after the latter was caught red-handed. Reports from his co-esport player said that Yawi was trying to have an intimate relationship with an Indonesian girl but denied the allegations.

On January 2, Jen Nierva posted a cryptic tweet, 'let go and let god.'

Moreover, McCoy De Leon who recently starred in the MMFF ‘Deleter’ was also on the hot seat after confirming his split with actress Ellisse Joson. Photos of him and an alleged influencer circulated online which made speculations of ‘third-party’ involvement. On Wednesday, January 4, McCoy addressed the issue on his Instagram stories saying that there were problems they were facing as to why she let go of her partner. He did not disclose or explain further. He also apologized to all the people who were involved and hurt by the said issue through his story.

McCoy penned a message to her daughter Felize, ‘pasensya na kung hindi lang talaga kinaya ni daddy,’ he said.
