Ogie Diaz, the talent manager-vlogger, revealed the breakup of Kapuso comedienne Pokwang and her live-in boyfriend Lee O’Brian.
Pokwang later started a separate label carrying only her name. Ogie Diaz verified his friend’s separation with Lee in a current Showbiz Update video.
“Last November 2021 pa wala na at hiwalay na si Pokwang at si Lee O’ Brian. Kaya si Papang Lee ngayon ay nagsosolo ng tirahan at may hanapbuhay yata at nakatakdang umuwi si papang sa US hindi ko alam kung kailan,” Ogie disclosed.
According to the post in Bandera, netizens and showbiz followers suspected that Pokwang and Lee were no longer together when the comedienne stopped putting the latter’s name in items she was selling.
With this, Ogie’s co-host Mama Loi inquired as to the cause of the separation. The talent said that it was “masalimuot,” but Pokwang stated that the main thing is that she and Lee split without hatred.
When Mama Loi inquired regarding Malia, the daughter of Pokwang and Lee, Ogie stated that the young girl is now in the care of her mother. Pokwang would request Lee to watch after Malia while she was in lock-in shooting.
“Sabi niya (Pokwang), minsan pero alam naman niya pag ako ang nagte-taping o naka-lock in, tinatawagan ko si papang para siya naman ang tumoka kay Malia sa bahay nila,” Ogie Diaz continued.
The former couple appears to have decided on a co-parenting arrangement. Ogie further revealed that when he asked his friend whether she was lonely, she replied that she is used to being alone.
“Ang importante sa akin mga anak ko basta kasama ko mga anak ko, ke may partner o wala,” Pokwang told Ogie.
