'Give us more time': Janella Salvador, Markus Paterson address breakup rumors
Janella Salvador and Markus Paterson have broken their silence and asked for privacy as rumors of their breakup make the rounds.
Paterson was first asked about the gossip in an interview with Cinema News. He maintained that their relationship is "very good," but did not say if they were still together.
"Our relationship status is definitely something that people are asking about. But as of now, I'm going to let her do the talking in that situation," he said. "We're both very good. We have a very good relationship with each other so let's just leave it like that for now."
Salvador was notably absent from Paterson's recent birthday celebration. On Mother's Day, however, the actor greeted her and posted a photo of Salvador with their son Jude.
'Respect our privacy'
Meanwhile, the actress told ABS-CBN's entertainment website Push that she is aware of the speculations about their relationships.
"Markus and I are okay and I'm aware of the speculations that are going around. I'm asking people to give us more time, i-respect kung anuman 'yung nangyayari," she said.
"I hope that people will respect our privacy as of now. And eventually naman... Respect our privacy lang muna. But we're okay," Salvador added.
Salvador and Paterson first confirmed they were a couple in September 2020 and welcomed their baby boy Jude Trevor in January 2021.
