FUMIYA SANKAI – After weeks of speculation and cryptic social media moves, Kate Valdez and Fumiya Sankai have finally addressed the real status of their relationship.
Actress Kate Valdez and Japanese personality Fumiya Sankai have officially confirmed the end of their relationship through a heartfelt joint statement shared on social media. After weeks of silence that fueled rumors and speculation online, the former couple finally addressed the public to clarify their status and put lingering questions to rest.
The pair admitted that their recent online activity, including noticeable changes on their social media accounts, led to confusion among fans. In their statement, they directly acknowledged this, saying, “We want to acknowledge the confusion and speculation caused by our silence on recent changes online. We understand that this has led to various conclusions. This was never our intention.” Their message aimed to provide transparency while expressing appreciation for those who have supported them from the beginning.
Kate and Fumiya also took the opportunity to thank their followers for the love they received throughout their time together. They shared, “From the bottom of our hearts, we are truly grateful for the love, support, and kindness you have shown us throughout our journey. Your encouragement has meant so much to us, and we will always carry it with us.” Their words reflected sincerity and gratitude, highlighting the strong fan base that rallied behind their relationship.
According to the statement, their decision to separate was mutual and made after deep reflection. “Following considerable thought, we have mutually decided to go our separate ways. This decision was made with respect, understanding, and care for one another. We believe that this step is necessary for our personal growth, as we each need time and space to focus on healing and self-development,” they explained. The tone of the announcement suggested an amicable split centered on self-growth and healing.
Kate and Fumiya first sparked romance rumors in mid-2024 after being seen celebrating her birthday at Hong Kong Disneyland. They confirmed their relationship on June 18, 2024, and later became known for their “Onigiri Lovers” content online. Despite managing a semi-long-distance relationship between Japan and the Philippines, they appeared strong as a couple until fans noticed subtle changes earlier this year that hinted at their quiet breakup.
