Rumors have surfaced about the status of Victorias City Mayor Javi Benitez and actress Sue Ramirez’s long-term relationship, sparking questions about whether the two have parted ways.

For a while, the couple has been the subject of blind items, with whispers spreading among close circles and eventually reaching the media. The relationship seemed solid, especially on Sue’s part. Whenever she had no work, she would make time to visit Javi in Victorias, while Javi, due to his busy schedule as a public servant, found it hard to visit Manila except for family matters.

However, rumors about a breakup have intensified, with many wondering what caused the split. Some insiders claim that Javi’s parents were not fully supportive of Sue, a story that has been circulating among those close to the pair. Yet, given the couple’s nearly five-year relationship, others argue that it’s unlikely parental disapproval was the main issue. If that were the case, wouldn’t the relationship have ended much sooner?

Another version of events suggests that Javi’s parents had someone else in mind for him, which reportedly left Sue heartbroken upon hearing the news. Despite her emotional struggle, Sue has remained professional and continues to fulfill her work obligations.

Observers noted a shift in Sue’s demeanor during her recent theater play appearance, with some commenting that she seemed more subdued than usual. Her absence from the press conference for her latest movie, ‘How to Slay a Nepo Baby,’ has only fueled more speculation.

As it stands, only Sue and Javi can confirm what really transpired in their relationship. Any information that leaks from people close to them should be taken cautiously, as nothing has been confirmed by the couple themselves. For now, Sue remains busy with her Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) project, while Javi continues his duties as a politician, preparing for the upcoming elections.
