Sam Milby describes ex-fiancee Catriona Gray as a ‘woman that I still love and care about’
MANILA, Philippines – Sam Milby turned emotional as he admitted that it has been “rough” for him since he broke up with ex-fiancee Catriona Gray.
The singer-actor broke into tears in an interview with Boy Abunda, saying he does not feel comfortable talking about their relationship out of respect for the 2018 Miss Universe.
“No breakup is easy. It’s really been rough. We weren’t just boyfriend and girlfriend, we were engaged,” said Milby in a mix of Filipino and English in an episode of Fast Talk With Boy Abunda that aired on Monday, March 3.
“To have that not push through, it’s been really rough, honestly. When that happened in the last few weeks, it’s been really rough.”
Just this February, Milby confirmed that he and Gray have parted ways after speculations about their split swirled for months.
The two were seated separately in a flight to Canada for a concert tour together with their fellow Cornerstone Entertainment artists in November.
Gray also deleted most of their photos on Instagram, although Milby has kept them up, including the post about their engagement.
“I didn’t expect to be this emotional right now,” said Milby as he wiped away his tears. “I’m sorry. It’s something that I just don’t want to talk about. But if people think it’s been easy for me, it hasn’t been.”
Milby also touched on the viral video that showed Gray crying during a concert by TJ Monterde they both attended in February at the Araneta Coliseum.
The poignant moment saw Gray, a couple of seats away from Milby, shedding tears while Monterde sang “Hanggang Dito Na Lang.”
Monterde is also under Cornerstone Entertainment, while concert director John Prats is a close friend of Milby.
“It was really hard. A woman that I still love and care about, I see a few seats away from me, is crying. Beautiful songs. I didn’t know how to react,” said Milby.
“I really don’t feel comfortable talking about details about that, but if people thought I was comfortable, I was the complete opposite. I was not comfortable during that concert.”
“It’s something that should be celebrated because it was a beautiful concert, my best friend was directing, John Prats. But it was a hard situation. I was kind of frozen at the time. It wasn’t easy at all.”
Milby and Gray confirmed their relationship in May 2020 then announced their engagement in February 2023.
