KimXi fans urged to support new soap with Gerald

MANILA – Actress Kim Chiu appealed to fans of her love team with actor Xian Lim to also support her reunion project with former boyfriend Gerald Anderson.

In a press conference on Monday night, Chiu assured her fans that the upcoming series "Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin" has nothing to do with her personal relationship with Lim.

"Huwag na lang gawan ng isyu, kasi kaming dalawa ni Xian, personally ay nagkakaintindihan po kami, nag-uusap po kami na trabaho po ito. At mayroon naman po siyang trabaho with Coleen, tapos mayroon din po ako," Chiu said.

"Wala naman po kaming isyu. Talagang malawak po ang pagkakaintindihan naming dalawa at sana ganoon din po ang KimXi fans. Kasi for six years kaming magka-love team ni Xian at utang na loob namin sa kanila kung anuman 'yung achievements na nakuha namin and then 'yung mga award namin together at masaya kami sa suporta ng KimXi. At sana hinihiling namin na suportahan nila kami individually ngayon," Chiu added.

Chiu said what is important now is that she is happy with her life -- same with Anderson.

"Actors po kami. We're professional and we've been doing this for 10 years na," Chiu added.

Four years after their last project together, Dreamscape announced late Monday the reunion project of Anderson and Chiu.

Directed by Dan Villegas, "Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin" also stars Helen Gamboa, Ayen Munji-Laurel, Bing Loyzaga, Coleen Garcia and Jake Cuenca.

The former "Pinoy Big Brother" teen housemates were last featured as a love team in the 2012 romantic comedy movie "24/7 in Love."
