“We are just taking a break, nothing serious,” reassured Shahin through messages sent to PEP. “I just want her to have time ‘coz I guess it’s good for both of us now. We love each other.”

“We are texting each other. On my side is just my business that I’m going to open in the Philippines and I have to be more focused, and also she wants to be more focused on her career,” reassured Shahin. “That’s why, for now, we are taking a break for a while to improve more.”
