Venus Raj confirms break-up with Andrei Felix
Beauty queen-turned-television host Venus Raj admitted that she and Andrei Felix have ended their one-year relationship amid speculations that her family is against Felix.
"Yes it's true," Raj said in her Twitter account on Friday minutes after ABS-CBNNews.com reported about the break-up. But Raj clarified that she didn't announce the separation on the Thursday episode of "KrisTV" where she was a guest.
"@ABSCBNNews pero umere na po kahapon yung kristv namin pero Wala po akong ina- announce kahit off cam," Venus tweeted.
She also stressed that she didn't take a cue from her fellow-beauty queen Janine Tugonon, who also recently broke up with her Filipino boyfriend.
"@ABSCBNNews manoy, I'm not taking cue from Janine naman. D Lang tlaga alam ng Tao pero last week of April pa to nangyari," she said.
On Friday morning this week, Felix was quoted as saying it was Raj who initiated the breakup. Felix, however, reportedly believes they can still fix their problems since Raj broke up with him only over the phone.
It was March last year when Raj admitted she was in a relationship with Andrei Felix.
Raj and Felix became close while working together on the ABS-CBN morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda."
Meanwhile, in an interview last January, Esther Bayonito, mother of Venus, said that she supports her daughter's relationship with Andrei Felix.
