In a post on their official Instagram account, Star Magic shared the individual statements of Kathryn and Daniel, addressing the end of their long-term relationship.

On their Facebook page, the management expressed deep respect for the former couple’s decision to part ways and encouraged fans to continue supporting both artists, even as they pursue separate paths both personally and professionally.

Kathryn and Daniel, collectively known as “KathNiel,” are considered among the brightest and most successful stars under the Star Magic umbrella. Their loveteam has been one of the strongest in Philippine showbiz, with fans devoted not only to their romance but also to every project they’ve done together.

Just recently, Kathryn and Daniel confirmed through their respective Instagram accounts that their romantic relationship had ended—effectively signaling the dissolution of their iconic loveteam.

But now, another major rumor is rocking the industry: speculation that Kathryn Bernardo might also be leaving Star Magic. Many believe this could be the “next big bombshell” following her breakup with Daniel.

Though not yet officially confirmed, talk of Kathryn’s departure intensified after photos of her spending time with actress Maja Salvador and her fiancé Rambo Nuñez began circulating online.

According to circulating rumors, Kathryn is reportedly set to transfer to Crown Artist Management—Maja Salvador’s talent agency—once her contract with Star Magic expires. Additionally, reports claim that both Kathryn and Daniel are undergoing separate rebranding efforts and will no longer be managed as a tandem.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN News previously reported that Kathryn and Daniel had renewed their contracts with the network—making the current rumors all the more intriguing and raising questions about how their professional paths will truly unfold from here.
