Filipino netizens reacted to this old photo of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim
The photo of Kapamilya actress Kim Chiu and Kapuso actor Xian Lim was featured in the post that the showbiz news outlet TMZ shared about the Chinese New Year.
Kim and Xian were known as the KimXi loveteam. Their first project together was the series My Binondo Girl which included Chinese heritage. They both have Chinese blood. When they were together, the former couple would celebrate holidays together, including the Chinese New Year.
However, this has long been over since they announced their breakup in December 2023. Their breakup was one of the most talked about celebrity breakups that year.
The fact that Kim Chiu and Xian Lim’s breakup was a popular topic on social media was the reason why many Filipino netizens were amused when TMZ shared a post saying the “Lunar New Year is officially underway, meaning it’s time to celebrate the Year of the Snake! Swipe through our gallery to celebrate with the stars.” The art card stated, “John Legend & more stars celebrating Lunar New Year.”
Pinoy netizens shared their funny reactions to this because the fourth slide featured Kim and Xian’s old photo. In the photo, the former couple had a sweet post during a Chinese New Year celebration.
Netizens pointed out that TMZ was not updated with what happened while some laughed at this and tagged the Instagram accounts of Kim and Xian. Here are some comments.
Meanwhile, Xian Lim is now in a relationship with film producer Iris Lee. Their relationship garnered polarizing comments online. Some accused Xian of cheating on Kim while some showed support for his relationship with Iris.
Kim Chiu, on the other hand, is now being linked to her current onscreen partner Paulo Avelino. Their tandem is now called KimPau.
