ABS-CBN and John Lloyd Cruz have agreed on the actor taking an indefinite leave of absence from showbiz to attend to “personal matters,” ABS-CBN announced on Friday.

ABS-CBN added that the “Home Sweetie Home” star will resume work once he returns from his break.

“John Lloyd will be taking a break outside the country and will return to ABS-CBN after his leave of absence,” the company said in a press statement.

This means Cruz will miss the Kapamilya Fiesta Caravan on October 15 in Barcelona, Spain, among his other commitments.

He was billed as one of the main draws of the event along with Bea Alonzo, Enchong Dee, and Piolo Pascual.

Cruz was last spotted in public at the private birthday party of his close friend, Maja Salvador, held Thursday. He also attended the 2017 Star Magic Ball but opted to skip the red carpet.  (MNS)

They may have yet to confirm that they’re dating, but “Pusong Ligaw” stars Diego Loyzaga and Sofia Andres are already being made to address some breakup talk. The two laughed off the latest tabloid news claiming that they’re not in good terms with one another. “Mga rumors lang naman iyon. Actually hanggang ngayon natatawa pa rin kami sa mga naririnig namin,” Loyzaga said. He added: “Paano malalaman ng ibang tao iyong mayroon sa aming dalawa eh kami lang naman ang magkakasama?” Loyzaga also denied going out on a date with another woman. “Hindi ako lumalabas kasi M-W-F ay nasa taping ako, same with Sofia. We’re taping and shooting the same movie so para mangyari iyon . . . so impossible.” he said. Loyzaga and Andres have long been rumored to be a couple, but both have maintained that they are just good friends. They will be walking the red carpet together at this year’s Star Magic Ball, Loyzaga confirmed.  (MNS)
