Mikee Quinto confirms breakup with Paul Salas after four years together

Kapuso actress Mikee Quinto has confirmed that she and longtime boyfriend Paul Salas have decided to end their relationship. She opened up about their breakup during the 1 April episode of Boy Abunda’s show.

Mikee and Paul made their relationship public in 2022 and marked their third anniversary in July 2024. While she acknowledged their decision to part ways, she refrained from sharing the specific reasons behind it, stating that it would be best if Paul were the one to explain.

“Honestly, before today, pinagiisipan kong mabuti kung magsasabi na ako sa public o hindi––mahirap for me. It’s a big jump. Yung feelings ko kinokontra yung iniintindi ko sa brain ko sa lahat. Hindi naman sa ayaw kong ishare, pero I think there’s a right time for it. Pagdaanan ko lang po muna,” she admitted.

She assured that their breakup did not involve a third party and shared that they had been discussing the decision for a month. Over time, it became clear that parting ways was the right choice for both of them.

“A month ago na yung nagstart kami magusap about this decision. Ngayon, nagiging clear sa amin na ito nga yung tama for us. Mutual naman na decision to,” she explained.

Despite the breakup, Mikee remained hopeful about the future, believing that fate would bring them back together if they were truly meant to be. She expressed no regrets, even though the decision was difficult.

“Kung kami, I know siya na yung maghahanap ng way ng mangyari yun––si Lord. I won't try to control things, I just know na ito yung tamang decision now... Oo naman, I think more than expected pa. Wala akong regrets. Mahirap for me tong decision na 'to,” she added.

Reflecting on the experience, she shared a valuable lesson about love and self-worth.

“I think what I learned about love is we attract the love we give ourselves. Kung gaano natin kamahal yung sarili natin, yun yung love na tinatanggap natin,” she said.

Before ending the interview, Mikee took a moment to address Paul directly, expressing her gratitude for their years together.

“Paul, thank you sa four years and alam mo naman. Nasabi ko na yung mga gusto kong sabihin. Maybe I wanna remind you lang na nasa sa'yo to make all this worth it,” she said.
