Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "forever" was shorter than most of their fans had hoped.
Their 11-year relationship was not the longest in Hollywood, but as the couple that make up the Brangelina, it's like one will not be whole without the other.
If TMZ did not mention they were last spotted in June, we would not have realized, "Oh, that was three months ago."
Now, why the news mattered to Pinoy netizens, and why it had pushed aside national issues for a fleeting moment on everyone's social media feeds?
Brad and Angelina simply looked so good together that seeing them apart was like witnessing the demise of a modern-day fairy tale.
Here's what we will miss about them (Brangelina fans, bring some tissue, please):
1. Their red-carpet moments
Can you seriously imagine Brad Pitt with another lady in his arm?
Of course, we'll soon get over their breakup the same way they'll move on with their separate lives.
But goodbye to this best-dressed pair.
2. No more couple sightings
Their dates, PDAs, the picture of them together...
3. No more powerful quotes
We've lost count of the many times their quotes about marriage and family made their way to social media and became viral
Some even invented quotes, and attributed them to the couple.
But the ones they really said about each other were the kind of lines you would want to hear from your partner...
...and make Brangelina fans go, "Awww!"
4. The way they supported each other was admirable
They actually had a rough start, with Angelina being accused of stealing Brad away from his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.
But over time, they were able to change the public perception, showing what they had was true love.
When Angelina had double mastectomy to reduce her risk of having breast cancer, she described Brad as "loving and supportive partner."
She made him look good, he made her look good.
5. No more family pictures
Seeing Brad and Angelina with their six children—Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh, Pax Thien, Vivien, and Knox Leon—was always refreshing.
Will this ever happen again?
Fans can only hope that for their kids' sake, they will become friends.
It's so difficult to say this, but, RIP, Brangelina.
