Is Barbie Forteza open to knowing someone new?
This is what Kapuso actress Barbie Forteza said when she was asked about entertaining someone new months after her split with Jak Roberto.
In January 2025, Kapuso celebrities Barbie Forteza and Jak Roberto announced their breakup. This happened after seven years of being together, with the actress saying in her statement, “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
Jak and Barbie’s split has saddened many. It was a sad ending, but it wasn’t a bad breakup as Forteza was even able to say, “Thank you for loving me the way you did. I am excited for what’s to come for the both of us. You take care of yourself. May you find the love you deserve. I hope for everyone’s understanding and I wish you can help us put this matter to rest.”
Months after confirming their split, the actress was asked about entertaining someone new, and she denied it. She refuted claims about her accepting suitors and added that she is enjoying her time now as a single lady.
As seen on her social media page, she is currently enjoying running, and is working on a new series.
“Kasi ano naman, e, ang saya kaya. Ang saya pala maging ano, maging outgoing, di ba? To be more out there, ang sarap tumakbo sa labas,” she expressed referring to her new hobby and joining fun runs.
For 2025, their split was the first ever to be reported. To recall, their first project together was the 2017 romantic-comedy series “Meant to Be.”
They are supportive of each other’s careers, and many loved their vlogs together. They would say in interviews that they would continue to be proud of each other and congratulate each other on their work achievements.
