Is it over for Angel and Phil?

Someone should break the chain of showbiz break-ups.

After Luis Manzano and Jennylyn Mercado called it quits, it’s now Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband’s turn to break up, if a source close to the Kapamilya actress is to be believed.

"Oo, wala na sila," the source told Yahoo Philippines OMG! on Tuesday (October 22).

It’s not immediately known when the parting of ways took place, but Phil was still present when Angel's family hosted a send-off dinner last month for her brother Greg, who left for the United States.

While those rooting for the ex-lovebirds might be shocked about their separation, the source related that she has seen the breakup coming.

“Medyo hindi na rin ako nagulat.”

As of this posting, no one from both camps has released an official statement about the issue.

Third party issue

Why did the high-profile celebrities break up?

The source said Angel has not disclosed the reason yet, but one thing is sure – no third party is involved.

"I think meron silang mga hindi napagkakasunduan. Kailangan nila ng space," the source said.

OMG! quizzed the source if the breakup had something to do with cultural differences arising from the 26-year-old Filipino-British star football player’s Western ways. But the source neither confirmed nor denied this.

Love in time of Twitter

It will be recalled that Phil caused quite a stir when he asked Angel to be his Valentine date via micro-blogging site Twitter in February 2011.  She initially declined because it was a working day for her.

And although their courtship started on Twitter, the two digital celebrities have been abnormally quiet about the status of the relationship on social media.

Angel and Phil celebrated their first anniversary as sweethearts last May 27.

Other showbiz celebrities who broke up this year are Billy Crawford and Nikki Gil, Mark Herras and Ynna Asistio, as well as married couples Cesar Montano and Sunshine Cruz and Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto.
