<p>&quot;I feel hurt.&quot;</p><p>These were the words of actor Romnick Sarmenta as he learned the news about the breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, also known collectively as KathNiel.</p><p>Romnick worked with KathNiel on two projects which were <em>La Luna Sangre</em> in 2017 and<em> 2 Good 2 Be True</em> in 2022.</p><p>&quot;I&#x27;ve worked with a lot of people, but these two have endeared themselves to me in a way that I didn&#x27;t think was possible in this industry. Only because they are genuinely sincere people,&quot; he remarked in an interview with MJ Felipe of ABS-CBN News.</p><p>The actor added that he considers Kathryn and Daniel like his kids already.</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s sad. To other people it&#x27;s probably heartbreaking, to me they&#x27;re like my kids. Sincerely, they’re like my kids. Daniel and Kathryn,&quot; he said.</p><div><iframe width="944" height="531" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DJSCAI1o3ag" title="&#x27;I feel hurt&#x27;: Romnick saddened by Kathniel break-up | ABS-CBN News" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The actor continued: &quot;I feel hurt, in a way a father would feel hurt about his daughter or his son, kasi pareho silang mabait eh. And forgive me if I have a comment, but my comment is coming from a father.&quot;</p><p>Romnick highlighted that if any of them needs someone to talk to, he will welcome that person with open arms.</p><p>&quot;Parang tingin ko sa kanila mga anak ko, they&#x27;re just so wonderful. Kaya it&#x27;s safe to say na wala akong kakampihan pero pareho nila akong kakampi.&quot;</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0RDcx4v8P9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=506&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1929594.2000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;I love them both, whatever it is that they&#x27;re going through, whether this turns out to be one of those humps or it turns out to be life changing in any way, I just want them to know that ako siguro &#x27;yung isa sa mga taong pwede nilang makatabi na wala silang dapat ikwento and I would still care for the both of them the same way,&quot; Romnick remarked.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/11/30/kathryn-bernardo-confirms-breakup-with-daniel-padilla-1838"><strong>READ: Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla announce breakup<br/></strong></a></div><p>On Thursday, November 30, Kathryn and Daniel announced that they had broken up after eleven years of being in a relationship.</p><p>&quot;Deej, you gave me 11 beautiful years and the kind of love that I will forever cherish.
