Netizens Notice the Unthinkable: John Lloyd Cruz, Isabel Santos Unfollow Each Other
JOHN LLOYD CRUZ – A simple click on Instagram has ignited intense speculation after fans discovered that John Lloyd Cruz and Isabel Santos are no longer following each other on the platform.
Speculation has surfaced online after fans noticed a sudden change in the social media activity of actor John Lloyd Cruz and visual artist Isabel Santos. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, eagle-eyed followers observed that the couple is no longer following each other on Instagram, prompting questions about the real status of their relationship.
For many netizens, unfollowing on social media often sparks doubts, especially when it involves well-known couples. It is commonly associated with misunderstandings, conflicts, or even a possible breakup. As a result, concerned supporters of John Lloyd and Isabel have begun closely monitoring their online presence, hoping for clarity amid the growing buzz.
Despite the unfollowing, some fans pointed out that photos of Isabel with John Lloyd remain visible on her Instagram page. This detail has added another layer of intrigue, as it suggests that whatever is happening between the two may not necessarily mean a complete severance of ties. Neither John Lloyd nor Isabel has issued an official statement to address the issue as of this writing.
John Lloyd Cruz and Isabel Santos reportedly began their relationship in 2021. Although the actor is known for being private about his personal life, he previously spoke candidly about their relationship during his guest appearance on Fast Talk With Boy Abunda in October 2023. During the interview, he openly confirmed their status, saying, “Si Isabel ay girlfriend ko. Boyfriend niya ako.”
In the same interview, John Lloyd shared that he and Isabel had known each other for a long time before becoming a couple. Isabel is the granddaughter of the late renowned cartoonist and fine arts painter Mauro “Malang” Santos, and their connection reportedly developed naturally over the years.
The recent social media development has inevitably drawn renewed public attention to John Lloyd, whose personal life has often been a topic of interest. Adding to the actor’s recent headlines, a previous article reported that John Lloyd Cruz and TV host Robi Domingo were nearly involved in a confrontation during the wedding of Zanjoe Marudo and Ria Atayde—an incident that also stirred online discussion.
For now, fans remain divided between concern and patience, waiting to see whether John Lloyd Cruz and Isabel Santos will clarify the situation or choose to keep matters private, as they have often done in the past.
