MANILA, Philippines – The buzz surrounding the rumored breakup of Marco Gumabao and Cristine Reyes has finally met clarity as Marco’s sister, volleyball star and beauty queen Michele Gumabao, broke her silence during an emotional and enlightening interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda. Airing earlier this year, the episode quickly climbed trending charts as fans sought the real story behind one of showbiz’s most talked-about relationships.

💬 “As long as he’s happy, I’m happy,” Michele tells Boy

Opening the interview with grace and candor, Michele addressed the questions fans have been dying to ask: “Are Marco and Cristine still together?” Though rumors had swirled since Cristine temporarily deactivated her Instagram in mid-2024, Michele put speculations to rest, saying,

“Marco is in a good place. They love each other. That’s what matters.”

While Michele stopped short of confirming whether the two are still officially together, her emphasis on Marco’s well-being and her continued support of Cristine spoke volumes.

“She’s not just someone Marco brought home. She stayed. She cared,” Michele said.

In August 2024, Cristine Reyes shocked fans when she deactivated her Instagram account without warning. The move triggered widespread speculation that her relationship with Marco had hit a rocky patch. Adding fuel to the fire were Marco’s solo appearances at events where the couple was usually inseparable.

However, a few weeks later, Cristine returned to social media, posting cozy photos with Marco and even sharing moments from what appeared to be a private vacation. “Sometimes we need to disconnect to heal,” Cristine captioned one post, leaving fans with mixed feelings.
