'Goodbye na sa career': Cristy Fermin source says on Xian Lim, Kim Chiu breakup

MANILA, Philippines — Veteran showbiz columnist Cristy Fermin claimed that if Kim Chiu revealed the real reason for their breakup, Xian Lim would no longer have a showbiz career.

In her “Cristy Ferminute” show, Cristy said that a reliable source close to the couple shared with her that Kim respected Xian, so the actress did not disclose the real reason for her separation from the actor. 

“Mabait itong si Kim Chiu. Respetedo niya ang kaniyang kapuwa. Edukado siya. Kapag ito ang nagsalita, matinding pasabog ang kalalabasan,” Cristy said. 

“Kapag nag-salita na raw si Kim Chiu, goodbye na sa kaniyang career si Xian Lim. Ano kayang ibig sabihin noon?” she added.

Cristy repeated how good of a person Kim is because the actress also chose not to say anything bad about her former boyfriend, actor Gerald Anderson. Kim and Gerald dated from 2006 to 2010. 

Two years later in 2012, Kim started dating Xian, who was her leading man in the 2011 drama "My Binondo Girl."

“Ewan ko lang this time, ha. Dito kay Xian Lim. Kasi mukhang pabor sa kanya ang lahat ng tao na, ‘Mabuti naman nagtanggal ka na ng helmet sa ulo. Nauntog ka na sa katotohanan,’” she said. 

Kim and Xian revealed that they broke up last December. 

“To Xi, thank you for the almost 12 years of beautiful memories together … You will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for showing me what love is," Kim said. 

“As we close this chapter of our lives, I ask for everyone’s kindness and respect. I hope this clears everything as we all move forward with our lives,” she added. — Video from OnePH YouTube channel
