Liza Soberano revealed that she and former boyfriend Enrique Gil are no longer talking while revisiting their movie “My Ex and Whys” during an appearance on the TigerBelly podcast.

Asked whether they still talk, the actress gave a brief answer: “No, not at all.”

However, she also expressed affection for him, saying, “I love him as a human being.” Her remarks offered an update on their communication without going into the reasons they no longer speak.

Much of the discussion focused on her changing view of “My Ex and Whys,” the 2017 movie they starred in together. She said she still appreciates the film, although she now has reservations about part of its story.

“I like this movie, too, but at the same time, I don’t like the misogynistic take on it very much,” she explained.

Liza credited someone named Bernard, who joined the conversation, with helping her recognize that concern. When asked to explain his perspective, he said the story was unfair to her character.

The actress then described the plot from her character’s point of view.

“My character gets cheated on basically,” she said, explaining that the woman later becomes a popular blogger by writing about the problems in her relationship.

According to her account, the situation changes when people begin criticizing the character for being a “man hater.” Instead of receiving support after the betrayal, the woman faces public backlash.

“She’s now trying to make up with her ex so that she can prove to everyone that they’re okay,” she explained.

One of the hosts then asked whether she meant the same former boyfriend who had cheated on the character. Liza confirmed that this was the storyline she was discussing.

Her criticism centered on that turn in the plot, particularly the expectation that the woman repair her relationship after being wronged. The cheating she described concerned the fictional characters in the movie.

For background, the actress publicly confirmed in August 2025 that her real-life relationship with Enrique had ended nearly three years earlier. At the time, she described their breakup as one that still involved love and said they were no longer a match.

In the podcast exchange, she kept her comments about their current connection short while giving a fuller explanation of why she now views the movie differently.
