Klea Pineda confirms breakup with Katrice Kierulf
Klea Pineda confirmed that she and Katrice Kierulf have broken up.
During her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Pineda revealed that she and her partner mutually decided to part ways due to differing life priorities.
"Mutual decision 'yung nangyari," she said. "Umabot na kami sa point na gusto niya unahin 'yung sarili niya. Gusto ko rin naman unahin 'yung sarili ko this time."
Pineda revealed that they both realized that they were no longer helping each other grow. "Na-realize na rin namin na hindi na kami nakakatulong sa isa't isa. Parang pinupull down na lang namin 'yung isa't isa."
Pineda said that she has no regrets, and they both fought for their three-year relationship. "Ang dami niyang natulong sa 'kin, ang dami kong natutunan sa kaniya about love, life, and I'm sure ganun din naman 'yung nagawa ko for her," she said, teary eyed.
"Ang sakit lang ngayon kasi okay kami, okay 'yung dynamics namin, kabisado ko siya, kabisado niya 'ko. Sobrang ganda ng relationship namin ni Kat, pero may mga aspects lang talaga sa buhay namin na kailangan namin piliin 'yung sarili namin or unahin 'yung sarili namin," she added.
They broke up a month ago but remain on good terms.
She also denied that cheating was the reason behind their breakup. "No, Tito Boy, sobrang proud akong sabihin 'yun na no. Hindi ko kayang gawin 'yun [cheating] kay Kat kasi masyado kong mahal si Kat, ayoko makita siyang nasasaktan pa. Andami na ring napagdaanan ni Katrice and ayokong makadagdag pa dun, so no."
"Vinavalue ko 'yung loyalty, 'yung love namin, 'yung respeto ko sa kaniya and 'di ko ever balak sirain 'yun or hindi ko ever inisip na makasira ng tao dahil sa ganiyang maling ginagawa na cheating," Klea said, adding that Kierulf will never do that to anyone as well.
In her Instagram post, Pineda thanked Kierulf for their three-year relationship, assuring that she will always support her despite parting ways.
"Napakarami kong dapat ipagpasalamat sayo Kat. Lagi mong tatandaan na nakasuporta pa din ako sayo kahit anong mangyari. Tatlong taon na punong puno ng pagmamahal," she said. "Salamat sa pagmamahal na binigay mo sa akin, Kat. Lagi mong tatandaan na kahit anong mangyari, hindi mawawala pagmamahal ko sayo."
Pineda publicly came out as lesbian in March 2023. She and Kierulf marked their third anniversary in January of this year.
