Miss Universe 2010 4th runner up Venus Raj has confirmed that she and Andrei Felix has parted ways and no longer in a relationship. Venus admitted the break up on Twitter.
"Yes it's true," Raj confirmed in her official Twitter account.
Venus also said that the break up happened last week of April. The beauty queen-turned-host also clarified that she did not announce the separation on Kris TV's May 9 episode, even off-cam, where she was a guest along with mentor Jonas Gaffud.
Netizens, upon learning the news about the Venus-Andrei break up took to social networks cracking on jokes that Andrei might be a victim of the "Janine Tugonon" thing. Venus, however, stressed that she didn't take a cue from fellow beauty queen Janine Tugonon, who also recently broke up with boyfriend Jaypee Santos, the root of the "na-Janine Tugonon" term.
According to Andrei Felix as quoted in a DZMM report, it was Venus who initiated the break up over the phone. The guy reportedly believed that they can still fix the problem.
Although Andrei and Venus have already confirmed and talked about the break up, the former couple of one year were mum on the real reason why they headed to splitsville. There are speculations that Venus' family is against her relationship with Andrei. The beauty queen's mother, Esther Bayonito in an interview, however said that she is supportive of her daughter's relationship with Andrei.
The special relationship between Venus and Andrei was developed while working together on the ABS-CBN morning show Umagang Kay Ganda. Their morning show stint did not last as they were booted out from the show. Rumor has it that the two were removed from the show because of too much public display of affection (PDA).
