During an interview on GTV’s “Chika Cart,” the actress was asked whom she had spoken to first after learning about the separation. She identified her older brother, while also explaining that she did not want to press Barbie for details.
The conversation touched on a situation that involved two people close to her. Jak is her sibling, while Barbie was also her colleague in the historical drama “Pulang Araw.”
Sanya recalled that she and her fellow actress had opportunities to talk on set. Even so, she said she had no idea about the breakup while they were working together.

Looking back, she praised Barbie for how she carried herself at work. According to her account, their work on the series had already ended when she learned that the pair were no longer together.
The news saddened her. However, she explained that being affected by the separation did not mean she would ask either of them to explain everything.
For the star, respecting Barbie’s side also meant allowing her to decide whether she wanted to talk. She described herself as someone who would listen when another person chose to open up.
Rather than asking what happened or why things turned out that way, she preferred to wait. She would offer advice if it was needed.
Asked about her connection with Barbie after the breakup, Sanya recalled reaching out following the premiere of “Samahan ng mga Makasalanan.”
The actress said Barbie attended the event, prompting her to send a message of appreciation afterward.
“Thank you for coming and supporting our film,” she recalled telling her.
Her answer focused on that exchange and the support Barbie showed by attending. She did not go into the private reasons behind the former couple’s separation.
The remarks were consistent with the respect she had expressed in an earlier interview. In March 2025, she told GMA Integrated News that she was saddened the relationship had ended but would remain supportive.
Barbie announced the breakup in January 2025 after seven years together. That history provides context for Sanya’s sadness, though her “Chika Cart” answers stayed focused on her own response and her willingness to listen.
Sanya Lopez is a well-known Filipina actress and singer who rose to fame for her breakout role as Danaya in the 2016 fantasy series Encantadia. She has since solidified her status as a leading television star with prominent lead roles in hit dramas like First Yaya and its sequel First Lady.
In another report, Sanya Lopez gave fans a glimpse of her Japan getaway with her brother, Jak Roberto, by sharing photos from their visit to Hiroshima and Osaka. The actress captioned her Instagram post “Hiroshima•Osaka” and added emojis conveying happiness and gratitude.
Meanwhile, Sanya shared a touching message for her Encantadia co-star Glaiza de Castro following the announcement of her pregnancy. She congratulated Glaiza and affectionately called herself an “Ashti” to the actress's baby.
