The glamorous world of Philippine showbiz is once again shaken by a new round of controversy involving no less than fashion icon and actress Heart Evangelista and her husband, Senator Chiz Escudero. The latest buzz? Heart is allegedly being accused of owing money to her husband—yes, the very same man she once called the love of her life. And to make things even spicier, veteran entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin claims she knows the full story behind the supposed marital storm.

A Marriage Under Scrutiny?

Heart and Chiz, once the epitome of elegance and couple goals, have been the subject of breakup rumors for months. Fans noticed the couple’s reduced public appearances and cryptic posts, leading many to speculate that not all is well behind their picture-perfect Instagram feed.

While the couple has mostly kept quiet about their relationship status, Cristy Fermin – known for her fearless showbiz exposés – dropped a bombshell on her online show. According to Fermin, not only are the two allegedly living separate lives, but there’s also a serious financial issue being whispered in the background.

The Alleged Debt: Is Heart in the Red?

One of the most shocking parts of the rumor is the allegation that Heart Evangelista owes money to Chiz Escudero. The nature of the supposed debt remains unclear, but internet speculation ranges from luxury purchases to shared investments gone awry.

Netizens are divided—some are defending Heart, saying she has her own fortune and international endorsements, while others are raising eyebrows about her recent high-profile shopping sprees in Paris, New York, and Milan.

Cristy Fermin Spills the Tea

Cristy Fermin, never one to shy away from controversy, claimed in her show that she has “sources close to the couple” who confirmed that not only is the relationship allegedly strained, but that Chiz has become increasingly silent and distant in their shared social circle.

“Alam ng lahat ng malalapit sa kanila. Hindi na ito sikreto,” Cristy said, implying that the situation is well-known among insiders.

She even hinted that legal proceedings might already be in motion, although she stopped short of confirming whether a formal separation or annulment is in progress.

Fans React with Shock and Support

Social media exploded after the rumors spread. Some fans expressed heartbreak over the alleged fallout of the once-idyllic marriage, while others questioned the reliability of the sources.

“I hope this isn’t true. Heart worked so hard to become who she is,” one fan tweeted.

“Chiz is a smart man, but Heart is not the kind of woman who would just owe money to anyone—not even her husband,” another commented.
