MANILA, Philippines – Actress Denise Laurel and basketball star Sol Mercado have ended their engagement.
According to a report from Pep, Denise wrote on Instagram: "From now on Sol and I are just friends."
She also said that she was "happy and for him" and learned so much from him, requesting not to tag her in any post related to him. The post has since been deleted.
In another deleted post, Denise said: “Sol he did not cheat on me he didn't do anything wrong.
“We [have] both been trying for a while now.”
In a new Instagram post, Denise apologized to Sol and his family, saying it was bad timing for her to say anything about their breakup.
"I just want to sincerely apologize for not thinking clearly. My intentions were not in a rotten place. I just didn't think," she said tagging Sol in her message.
