It’s been over two years since the shocking breakup of PBA star Scottie Thompson and his former fiancée, Pau Fajardo, made headlines.

Pau Fajardo hurt but moves on from Scottie Thompson breakup

Their split in 2021 stirred waves of controversy, heartbreak, and endless speculation, especially after Thompson revealed his sudden marriage to another woman shortly afterward. While both parties have remained tight-lipped about the real reason behind their separation, fans and critics alike have never stopped wondering what truly transpired. Now, rumors are swirling that Scottie may have finally hinted at the truth behind their split—and it’s not what anyone expected.

The 6-foot-1 guard native of Davao del Sur Scottie Thompson is one of the prominent professional basketball players in the country. He has five PBA championships under his belt and greatly contributed to the Gin Kings snatch the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup title just last December.

After the championship, over the new year, he proposed to his long-time girlfriend Pau Fajardo in an extremely romantic way. Red petals as decorations were scattered on the floor and candles were lit giving off the warm and romantic vibe. A video of sweet messages was played through a projector and that’s how he got her sweetest “Yes” to his marriage proposal. The private celebration of love was witnessed by their families.

However, just days ago, Thompson revealed and shocked their fans with a revelation. He revealed that he and Fajardo have broken up over a couple of months ago. Fajardo’s social media account is nowhere to be found and their photos together in his account have been wiped out. Scottie addressed the critics and took all the blame. It was accordingly his mistake why it happened.

In a recent interview, Scottie Thompson opened up about some pivotal moments in his personal life that affected his decisions both on and off the court. While he refrained from directly addressing Pau Fajardo or their breakup, his words carried an air of reflection and accountability that fans quickly linked to his past relationship. He mentioned the challenges of balancing a high-pressure career with personal relationships, saying, “Minsan, gumagawa ka ng mga desisyon sa sandaling ito nang hindi lubos na nauunawaan ang magiging epekto nito sa mga taong nagmamalasakit sa iyo.”

“Ako reason ng hiwalayan namin, ako ang may mali ng lahat. Lalaki kong tatanggapin ang lahat ng ibabato niyo sakin,” he said as per Fast Break. And days after this revelation, his private and intimate wedding with a flight stewardess reportedly named Jinky Serrano from Pampanga has emerged online.

As per Spin, the wedding took place in the first week of June according to several sources.

And here’s how some supporters have reacted to this:

Scottie [Thompson] and Pau Fajardo love story is soooo Marem-Achilles and it hurts a lot.

Thank you Scottie [Thompson] for the great games you played for Ginebra and for us Ginebra fans, but no thanks for how you played with Pau Fajardo’s heart

Scottie cheated to Pau way back before the proposal.
