Sharon Cuneta on Gabby Concepcion: Minimal to no communication since concert tour

• Sharon Cuneta revealed she has not spoken to ex-husband Gabby Concepcion since their "Dear Heart" concert tour in North America, which concluded in November 2023.

• Despite their popular on-stage chemistry, Cuneta clarified that their off-stage interactions during the tour were minimal and intentionally kept separate (separate flights, car rides) to avoid complications.

• While not maintaining constant communication typically associated with friendship, Cuneta assured fans that they "get along" and are "okay," particularly as co-parents of their daughter.

• Cuneta noted that their "sweetness" was primarily for their fans on stage, as they rarely spent time together between shows or outside of soundchecks, maintaining a professional distance.

Veteran actress and "Megastar" Sharon Cuneta has openly shared that her communication with former husband Gabby Concepcion has been non-existent since their highly successful "Dear Heart" concert tour in North America last year.

Despite their on-stage chemistry that delighted long-time fans, Shawie clarified that their interactions off-stage were strictly professional, a dynamic she suggests was intentionally maintained to avoid complications.

Sharon’s candid admission came during a recent interview with seasoned journalist Rico Hizon for ANC’s "Beyond the Exchange," broadcast earlier this week.

The celebrated actress, also known as the "Saving Grace" star, revealed the extent of their detachment since the conclusion of their reunion concert series, which captivated audiences across North America in November 2023, with stops in cities such as Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, following their main show in Manila in October 2023.

"I haven't spoken to him since our concert tour last year," the Megastar stated, recalling the logistics of their tour.

She painted a picture of a meticulously planned separation, noting, "From the day we left Manila, it was separate flights all throughout the tour [and] separate car rides. The only time we were together traveling was on our flight back home from Vancouver."

Shawie emphasized that this arrangement was a deliberate choice, intended to "keep it uncomplicated." When asked about their final exchange during the tour, she recalled it as a simple "see you and take care."

This pragmatic approach, she explained, was "better that way" for both of them, particularly given their shared past and their daughter.

While acknowledging that their relationship is not characterized by constant communication or mutual check-ins—which she defines as true friendship—Sharon assured fans that they remain on good terms.

"We’re okay," she affirmed. "When you say friends 'kasi' (because) it means keeping in touch constantly and checking up on each other. In that sense, we’re not. But we get along, we’re older 'na' (already) and we have a daughter."

The public's reception to their reunion on stage was overwhelmingly positive, often described using the Filipino term "kilig," signifying a feeling of romantic excitement.

However, the Megastar underscored the clear distinction between their on-stage persona and their off-stage reality. "We’re okay, we were so sweet on stage, but in reality, we only saw each other on stage when we did the soundcheck. We never spent time together in between the shows," she concluded, illustrating their commitment to professionalism for the sake of their fans.

This revelation offers a glimpse into the complexities of celebrity ex-spouses navigating professional collaborations, especially when a shared history holds significant public interest.

While their on-screen chemistry continues to charm, their off-screen dynamic remains carefully managed, prioritizing clarity and avoiding any potential misunderstandings.

In a recent interview, Shawie also mentioned about not being able to talk to Gabby since they finished their "Dear Heart" concert tour in October and November 2024 in the US and Canada. The Megastar revealed that even though they were together on the same concert tour, they did not travel together—they had separate flights and cars from their departure in Manila until the last stop of the tour. Sharon clarified that their relationship is amicable as former love team partners and co-parents of one child, but she stated they cannot be considered "friends" in the context of frequent communication or checking in with each other. Sharon also mentioned that their "sweetness" on stage was merely part of entertaining the fans, but off-camera, they had no personal bonding or time together outside of rehearsals and performances.
