As announced Tuesday, 12 May, by KDLex International Sweethearts on X, Alexa Ilacad and KD Estrada will no longer continue as a loveteam.

“After many heartfelt conversations and with mutual understanding, KDLex decided to part ways as a loveteam due to circumstances, external factors and the people surrounding them. Though their journey as a pairing has come to an end, the respect, care and friendship between them remain,” KDLex International Sweethearts said in a letter addressed to the fandom.

The statement stressed that “what KDLex shared was genuine” and that “the happiness and memories they gave all of us will always be cherished.”

Ilacad immediately reacted to the official statement with a message of gratitude to fans.

In the latter part of her message, Ilacad also expressed respect for “who you choose to support, as long as RESPECT REMAINS.”

“I will continue to love and appreciate all of you. Thank you for all the love, unwavering support and kindness you have given me and KD. We will always carry that in our hearts,” she added.
