Why did John Lloyd Cruz, Ellen Adarna delete all their cozy photos on Instagram?

Remember Carmen Soo? The Malaysian actress who make it big in the Philippines?

Now 20 weeks pregnant, Carmen Soo's baby bump has become more not i ceabl e.

Earlier today, September 28, the 39-year-old mom-to-be wrote, "Getting used to walking around with something sticking out in front."

She also mentioned how it has become difficult for her to get off the bed.

"At this point, when I lie down or sit down, it's hard to get up and I sometimes feel like an upside down."

Carmen started posting pregnancy updates on social media after she and her husband Benson Tan announced her pregnancy last September 14.

The Malaysian star posted a video showing two tumblers, a baby bottle, and the text "coming soon.

Her first event as a pregnant lady was Cartier's store opening.

She donned a DVF red dress and a Panthere de Cartier necklace.

Since her belly has been growing bigger, deciding which dress to wear has become a problem.

Her September 19 post read: "It's a daily dilemma going through my wardrobe looking for things to fit.

"I have yet to start buying maternity clothes and relying on all my stretchy clothes which I love to wear before, and planning to do so till nothing fits anymore.

"It's a daily mini triumph finding clothes that fit me. Yippie # 19weekspregnant"

She still is working, but "always hungry."

Last September 26, she and her husband celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

Here she was in her wedding d r ess...

After their "date night," she posted another throwback photo taken during their traditional Chinese wedding in Bali, Indonesia.

She remarked, "I'm still so in love with my kua."

The last time the couple was spotted here in Manila was September 12, 2015, at the Star Magic Ball.

Carmen became famous in the Philippines after she was paired with Jericho Rosales in Kahit Isang Saglit (2008), which was also aired in Malaysia.

She was also part of the last batch of Willie Revillame's female co-hosts in the defunct Kapamilya noontime show Wowowee in 2010.

What prompted rumored couple John Lloyd Cruz and Ellen Adarna to delete all of their sweet photos together on Instagram?

This was the question posed by netizens who noted that John Lloyd and Ellen's very recent photos of each other cozying up— either at an undisclosed residential place or during their beach escapades— have been deleted from their respective Instagram accounts, as of this Thursday night, September 28.

The rumored couple, all of a sudden, have wiped out traces of their cont r over si al -yet -unconfirmed romance two days before the Star Magic Bal l .

The possible sighting of John Lloyd and Ellen is one of the highly-anticipated sidelights at the annual red-carpet event hosted by ABSCBN's talent arm, Star Magic.

This year's Star Magic Ball will be held at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel, Saturday, September 30.

It was only over the weekend when the two started firming up, via their own Instagram posts, that they are an item.

On Sunday night, September 24, John Lloyd uncharacteristically posted on Instagram a selfie with Ellen kissing him on his chin, while the 34-year-old matinee idol had his right arm wrapped around the 29year-old starlet's shoulder.

They seemed to have taken the cozy photo while lying on a bed covered with a white bed sheet at an undisclosed place.

The elusive-and-veryprivate John Lloyd accompanied the photo with this caption: "Sobrang baduy neto pero this girl really did something good to my soul. i'll always be grateful ."

Two days before that, on September 22, Ellen posted on Instagram at least three photos showing John Lloyd's new haircut.

In one of these photos, the award-winning actor was flashing a big smile while looking at her

There was also a photo of John Lloyd leaning his head on Ellen's shoulder.

Ellen posted these photos on the same day she posted a private conversation with a fellow Bisaya, Leyte Fourth District Representative Lucy Torres, via Instagram st or y.

Lucy teasingly told Ellen, "Romansa is alive and live!"

Ellen had other photos with John Lloyd where they can be seen holding hands while walking at the beach, taken during their outof-town getaways.

All of these have been deleted from both John Lloyd and Ellen's Instagram accounts.

Early this September, the two made headlines when photos and videos of their Bantayan Island getaway made the rounds online.

Netizens noted how ABS-CBN's premier TVand-movie actor seemed to be behaving oddly as he sang, danced, hid behind a gas range, and flashed a dirty finger in the videos that went viral.

Following the controversy, John Lloyd issued a sorry-not-sorry statement, via his own Instagram, saying, "diz iz mi lerning. very humbling but i do apologize to the little boys & girls. no regrets babies just life revealing its raw beaut y.”

Star Magic's chairman emeritus Johnny Manahan, better known as Mr. M, defended John Lloyd, saying that the actor was just "letting off steam" during a muchdeserved out-of-town vacat i on.

Mr. M's official statement, dated September 11, read in part: "In this age of an all pervasive social media, what is ok and innocent in private becomes worthlessly controversial in public.

“He will have learned his lesson and be more careful in the future.”
