<p>Liza Soberano pointed out that she never had a romantic connection with her current talent manager James Reid.</p><p>In an interview with Bea Alonzo for the latter’s vlog, Liza was asked if she was ever romantically involved with James which the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/forevermore"><em><strong>Forevermore</strong></em></a> star categorically denied.</p><p>&quot;Me and James, no, we never had a thing,&quot; she stated. </p><p>The actress stressed that this perception of her and James might have stemmed from the fact that she&#x27;s no longer posting updates about her boyfriend and love team partner Enrique Gil.</p><p>&quot;I get so nervous about questions like that because people already assumed the worst about me because I haven’t been posting anything about Quen (Enrique), we haven’t been seen in a project together,&quot; she said.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXVOIdO03v/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A239383.30000001192%2C%22ls%22%3A239157%2C%22le%22%3A239161.10000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="968" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Liza explained that the reason why she stopped posting about Enrique is because she wants to stay away from the love team concept already in order to build a solo career moving forward.</p><p>&quot;I’m staying away from the love team thing. It’s hard because everything that I’m trying to do now, as a solo artist, isn’t being taken seriously or like, isn&#x27;t being respected. It’s being seen as something negative,&quot; Liza explained.</p><p>She added: &quot;They think I’m some type of wild child now just because I’m not in a love team or I’m not seen with the same man constantly. When that is actually normal to be honest.&quot;</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/26/ogie-diaz-nanghihinayang-sa-career-ni-liza-soberano-1351"><strong>Read: Ogie Diaz, nanghihinayang sa career ni Liza Soberano</strong></a></div><p>In February this year, Liza posted a vlog sharing how she wants to take her career moving forward.</p><p>In the vlog she said: &quot;I obviously know that it would be much easier to just stick to what has been working for me, to stay forever the same, and I know and I understand that it’s unfair to all the Liza Soberano fans, all the LizQuen fans.&quot;</p><p>&quot;But I hope you understand that by doing so, by giving into the pressure of doing what everybody else wants for me, I am being unfair to myself, Hope Soberano.&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9hvo0SRFZ/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A239393.60000002384%2C%22ls%22%3A239157%2C%22le%22%3A239161.10000002384%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="961" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>The actress further pointed out: &quot;I’ve embarked on a fresh new chapter and I am finally taking control of my life, pursuing dreams that I’ve always had to hold off on.&quot;</p><p>Liza admitted that &quot;it’s exciting, it’s terrifying, it’s anxiety-filled and confusing. But what I know for sure is that for the first time, I am finally living my life for me.&quot;</p><p>The actress signed with James&#x27;s agency in June of last year.</p><p>In the same vlog, Liza opened up about what made her decide to sign with Careless.</p><p>&quot;I will never forget the conversation we had. I asked them what the plan was for me. And they said, ‘I don’t know. You tell us. We are here to support whatever your dreams are.’ That’s when I knew I had found my team,&quot; she stated.</p><p>The actress shared that she was actually approached by other management companies but it was in Careless where she found the team who can support her vision.</p><p>&quot;People were shocked when word got around that I had signed up with a startup company. But what they didn’t understand was that I chose a team that wanted to support my vision, rather than lay one out for me,&quot; she remarked.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgl-m_6vH8c/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A545481.2999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A466065.90000009537%2C%22le%22%3A466077.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Following the viral vlog, James took to social media to express how proud he is of Liza for pursuing the more challenging path.</p><p>&quot;Proud and happy for you Liza Soberano.
