Bela Padilla has revealed the reason behind her breakup with her Swiss boyfriend, Norman Bay, after four years of being together.  In an interview with Karen Davila in her latest YouTube vlog, Bela shared that their split stemmed from the reality of her decision to move back to the Philippines.&quot;I think it was really just the reality of me moving back here. We had a talk, like it was a very mature conversation. We spoke about my moving back here. And I asked him, what are your plans for the next five years, the next ten years? Do you see yourself moving here also? And at that time when we first had that conversation, he very bluntly said no,&quot; she shared.Bela said she respected Norman&#x27;s choice to remain in London, acknowledging that he has a flourishing career there.&quot;I super respected that &#x27;cause I am the same too. If he asked me back then, &#x27;If I ask you right now to get married so you would stay, would you say yes?&#x27; I would&#x27;ve also said no. So I feel like we both knew where we had to be. And he has such a beautiful career also in London, he has such a good job. I feel like he has found his purpose also,&quot; the actress stated.<div><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WRfpblHvGm4" title="BELA PADILLA: Buhay London And Back!

I just saw something recently na parang the first one who speaks up bleeds first. Parang the first one who sees that it&#x27;s over bleeds first. And that&#x27;s true because I was the one who had to bring up the conversation so I guess I was in pain way before he was. I don&#x27;t know if he saw it too and he just didn&#x27;t wanna speak up or he didn&#x27;t wanna say anything, but I had to be the bigger person I guess, and bring up the conversation,&quot; she shared.Despite the split, Bela revealed that they remain friends.&quot;We talk almost every day. We are super close friends. Actually he visited me pa nung May. He visited the set of 100 Awit Para kay Stella,&quot; she relayed.
