SAD BREAKUP STORY! Elisse Joson CONFIRMS FINAL SPLIT with Longtime Partner McCoy De Leon—“This Time, There’s No Turning Back”

It’s official—and it’s heartbreaking.

Actress Elisse Joson has finally confirmed what fans have long feared: her relationship with McCoy De Leon is over for good. In an emotional, tear-filled interview aired July 24 on the evening talk show The Truth Seat, Elisse broke her silence and opened up about the painful end of her years-long relationship with the actor and father of her daughter.

“This time, there’s no turning back,” she whispered, eyes full of tears. “It’s over.”

From ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ to Parenthood

Elisse and McCoy’s love story began inside the Pinoy Big Brother house in 2016. Their chemistry was undeniable, and fans quickly dubbed them “ElCoy.” Their young love blossomed both inside and outside the house, with ups and downs that played out under the public eye.

After a brief separation in 2019, they rekindled their romance and shocked fans in 2021 when they revealed they had become parents to a beautiful daughter, Felize. The announcement came with public excitement and renewed hope for a lasting love story.

For a while, everything seemed picture-perfect—vacation photos, family milestones, sweet birthday tributes. But behind the camera, cracks were already forming.

A Love That Couldn’t Be Saved

In her exclusive interview, Elisse revealed that their second chance wasn’t as magical as it appeared. While they tried to make it work for their daughter and their shared history, resentment, miscommunication, and trust issues began to eat away at the foundation of their relationship.

“We were growing in different directions,” she admitted. “We loved each other, yes, but we weren’t happy anymore.”

Elisse described months of emotional disconnect—missed messages, silent dinners, and long nights spent crying alone.

“He stopped showing up emotionally. He was there physically, but I couldn’t feel his love anymore.”

The Breaking Point

Elisse hinted that their final breakup stemmed from a series of betrayals—emotional more than physical—that slowly shattered her trust.

“It wasn’t about one big fight. It was the small things… the lies, the coldness, the feeling that I was begging for the bare minimum.”

While she stopped short of accusing McCoy of cheating, she said something deeply revealing:

“When you find messages that make you question everything, that’s when you know something’s wrong. And when your heart starts to feel numb—that’s when you know it’s over.”

A Daughter in the Middle

Perhaps the most painful part of the interview was when Elisse spoke about how the breakup affected Felize, their now 4-year-old daughter.

“I used to think staying together was the best thing for her. But then I realized… she doesn’t need parents who pretend to be happy. She needs parents who actually are.”

Elisse’s voice trembled as she recalled a moment that shattered her heart:

“She looked at me and asked, ‘Why don’t you and Daddy hug anymore?’ And I had no answer.”

That moment, she said, made her realize that staying in a broken relationship would only break her daughter too.

No More Pretending

Elisse admitted that for months, she faked smiles for the public and kept posting “happy family” photos, hoping things would get better. But the emotional burden became too heavy to carry.

“You can only lie to yourself for so long. Eventually, your soul starts to scream.”

She said the hardest part was walking away from someone she still loved—but who no longer made her feel loved in return.

“I didn’t want to give up. But I had to choose myself. I had to choose peace.”

McCoy’s Silence Fuels Speculation

While Elisse poured her heart out, McCoy De Leon has remained silent. He has not released any official statement, nor responded publicly to the interview.

His last social media post—a photo of Felize holding his hand—was flooded with mixed reactions. Some sympathized, others slammed him for his alleged emotional absence and lack of public accountability.

“If you love them, fight for them,” one fan commented.
“Too little, too late,” another wrote.

Netizens React: “Our Hearts Are Broken Too”

As the interview aired, social media exploded with reactions. #ElisseSpeaksOut, #ElCoyNoMore, and #ProtectFelize quickly trended on X (formerly Twitter), with fans expressing their sorrow, outrage, and heartbreak.

“Elisse deserves so much better. She’s glowing with strength even through her pain.”
“I watched that interview crying. You can hear the heartbreak in every word.”
“McCoy… you fumbled a queen and a beautiful family.”
“This is why we don’t romanticize couples we don’t really know.”

Support from Showbiz Friends

Elisse’s bravery did not go unnoticed among her fellow celebrities. Several stars sent her messages of love and encouragement:

Kathryn Bernardo reposted the interview with the caption:

“You are so strong. We love you.”

Nadine Lustre tweeted:

“You don’t need to carry it alone. You are enough, Elisse.”

Even Vice Ganda, known for their fierce loyalty, posted:

“You walked away with dignity. I’m proud of you.”

What’s Next for Elisse?

Elisse shared that she’s now focused on healing, self-care, and raising her daughter with love and honesty. She revealed that she has started therapy and is also working on a new acting project that she says “came at the right time.”

“I’m learning how to live again. As a woman, as a mother, as me—not someone’s partner, not someone’s shadow.”

She also announced plans to launch a podcast for solo parents, where she’ll share her journey, challenges, and lessons learned.

“I want to help others who feel stuck in toxic relationships. You are not alone. You are not weak for walking away. You are brave.”

Final Words: A Goodbye With Grace

As the interview ended, Elisse left viewers with a powerful message:

“Sometimes, love means letting go. Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is walk away from something that’s slowly killing your spirit.”

And just like that, she gave the world not just a breakup story—but a story of resilience, rebirth, and strength.

The fairytale may be over, but Elisse Joson’s next chapter looks like it could be her most powerful yet.
