🔥 XIAN LIM FUMING! TENSION SPARKS WITH “DADDY PAU” OVER KIM CHIU? 🔴

Xian reportedly unable to hold back anger and jealousy as Paulo Avelino grows closer to Kim Chiu

🧨 SILENT WAR BETWEEN THE EX AND THE NEW FLAME?

Rumors are flying across social media after fans noticed what appeared to be quiet but growing tension between Xian Lim, the former longtime partner of Kim Chiu, and Paulo Avelino—the man now closely linked to her.

While no official statements have been made, sources close to the actors say Xian is feeling a mix of resentment and jealousy, especially after Kim and Paulo’s undeniable chemistry has gone public through joint endorsements and recent appearances.

💔 FROM BREAKUP TO BURNING ISSUES

Xian and Kim ended their nearly decade-long relationship in late 2023. Though both claimed the split was mutual and peaceful, fans have long speculated that the breakup left unresolved emotions, especially on Xian’s end.

When Kim started being paired with Paulo—both on-screen and increasingly off-screen—Xian reportedly began withdrawing from mutual circles, and eagle-eyed netizens spotted that he had unfollowed Kim on Instagram shortly after Paulo posted a photo with her.

🧑‍🍳 THE CHOWKING TRIGGER?

The tipping point may have been Kim and Paulo’s joint appearance at Chowking’s 40th anniversary celebration, where they showed strong chemistry and were visibly affectionate. Behind the scenes, insiders say Xian was “hurt and humiliated”, especially after seeing clips of Paulo guiding Kim through the crowd like a real-life partner.

“It was hard for Xian to watch that. It felt like he was being replaced not just on screen, but in real life,” said a person close to the actor.

🎭 DADDY PAU STAYS SILENT

As always, Paulo Avelino has remained calm and composed. Known as “Daddy Pau” by fans, he continues to keep things low-key, refusing to engage in any drama. His closeness with Kim has been the subject of speculation, but neither he nor Kim has confirmed a romantic relationship.

However, fans can’t help but notice the protective, caring gestures Paulo shows Kim—especially at public events—causing even more buzz online.

🗣️ NETIZENS REACT

Social media is split:

“Xian had his chance. Paulo is treating Kim the way she deserves!”
“This isn’t a competition. Let Kim be happy.”
“Why does Xian seem bitter? Move on, bro.”

Still, a portion of Xian’s loyal fans have expressed their support, with some saying his feelings are valid and that his long relationship with Kim couldn’t be forgotten overnight.
