Well we can’t say they have broken up, it will be more like they have ended their friendship because you know what, I don’t think Mario has ever referred to Gubgib as more than a peuan sanit (close friend) and today Gubgib, with tears in her eyes, did come out to say that their relationship which never developed to more than a friendship has ended. Dude, don’t tell me it was just a friendship, clearly it was more than that.
By the way, I have to make a correction, Gubgib and Mario has known each other for 7 years and have been ‘seeing’ each other for 4 years.
There has been some speculation before the break up that Mario was getting too cozy with his co-star Air Punthila from his upcoming Ch3 lakorn “Plerng Toranong (Proud Flame)”. Air has loudly denied it, she said, “How did this news come out!?! I have known Oh (Mario) and Gubgib for a long time now. There is nothing going on.” In their lakorn together, they do have ‘guk-gik (flirty)’ scenes together but Mario is like a younger brother to her. “It’s nothing like what they are saying, they are both like my younger siblings. I have always been very clear about this. If there is, I would say there is, but right now I’m single.”
To me the response from Thai netizens have been mixed, some are confuse, some have been supportive, some are glad because they have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“What is this? The other day wasn’t there pictures of them going traveling together?”-this Thai netizen is referring to pictures of Mario and Gubgib at a Thailand airport coming back from a trip to Japan.
The pictures were posted at Gossipstar just a day or two before this news broke out. I think the pictures are a month old, I vaguely remember him talking about going to Japan and buying some nonsense goodies with Gubgib for the New Year or something.
There has been a lot of comments so I can’t get through them all. But this one comment from a Thai netizen got me laughing. There were comments stating that Gubgib is ug and someone came out to defend her by saying, “what? you’re saying ugly people can’t get (or can’t have) good looking boyfriends too.”–It is not word for word but close to it.
October 12, 2012 UPDATE: a few weeks after their ‘break up’, the couple got back together and are dating ever since. They seem to be doing a lot better, gotten closer since their break up.
Listen sharply from “Gubgib Sumonthip’s” very own mouth regarding her relationship with boyfriend“Mario Maurer” after her recent interview saying they haven’t broke up. Latest event “Paradise Park Chinese New Year”, she is ready to open her heart regarding the confuse state she left for many people with her long time boyfriend of 9 years.
“I would like to say it right here at once since I don’t want to say it many time. This morning’s event, I told the PR I am not giving interview. I was only due to speak on stage because I have to come to this event right away. I post an IG apology to the media because I didn’t think it was going to be like this. I didn’t think there were going to be many reporters because that was a private event for the members. I would like to apologized.”
Are you ready to talk about your relationship with Mario today?
Yes. Oh called me after the interview last time. So, okay. We are friends. During that interview, like I say I didn’t prepare for an interview so I spoke how my feelings were.
Did you ask him why your relationship is downgraded?
I didn’t ask. I think that for such a long time relationship, sometimes we want to take a break and search ourselves if this is right or not.
Have you met him after talking to him?
We have not see each other because he’s busy. He has to fly out for modeling oversea and is promoting Jan Dara. Don’t forget to go see it.
So, Mario asked for a breakup?
No one dump anyone. It was a compromise from us 2 to stop right here. Don’t listen to the abuzz rumor but listen to me and Oh because we are an honest couple. If there is anything, we’re open up to it.
A lot of people say you’re trying to reconcile with him.
Honestly, it wasn’t like that. Like Oh said, we still love each other but we want to yield and focus on our work. We want to spend our time alone.
Is there any other reason that causes your distance?
There is no third party, so don’t try to throw it at us. I sympathize the other person. If we’re breaking up, it’s because we agree to and it definitely not due to a third party.
Are you sad over the situation?
Of course, I am sad but Oh for me has always been a friend and it will be our 10 years. We have good feelings for each other and we still have that. We still love each other. When we’re free we can go eat out. For us two, it doesn’t matter what our status is. Do I regret all those time? I never regretted it because we’re still young and there is nothing definite. We want to stop to focus on our work so we can think more. We don’t hate each other like the rumors suggested. I want you to listen to me and Oh since there is a lot of news flying about.
Do you still love Mario?
Of course, I love him. We are friends for a long time.
It seems like you’re trying to hold on to your relationship.
It’s not holding on to it. I think it’s just time for a break. We work hard and there is time people want to search what they really want. I am not a kid, so for us to have good feelings for one another is not trying to hold back to reconcile because we dated for 9-10 years.
From always having Mario by your side to not having him.
He is still here. We can still talk. I will always have him because we have been friend since we were 7-8 years old.
How do you heal your heart?
It’s not that much. This time I am working.
Are you afraid while you’re distant, there will be someone that comes along?
Then just let time be the proof of everything. But for me, I don’t have anyone. I want to stay like this first.
Do you want to reconcile?
I don’t know. That is the future.
But there has been many gossips that your breaking up is to promote your book.
I never promote it. Plus, I am not publishing any book. I just casually writing it.
Tapi kalo dipikir pikir. kesimpulannya, mario&gubgb itu terlalu sibuk sama aktivitas masing-masing. dan kabar dari mereka putus masih terombang-ambing. ada yang bilang emang putus, ada yang bilang mereka mau 'istirahat" dari hubungan mereka dan menyelesaikan pekerjaan masing-masing. katanya sih komunikasi mereka udah jarang banget. Mario juga sibuk sama film barunya "JanDara 2" dan katanya juga mereka ga ngerayain tahun baruan bareng. But, i'm still stay cool. apapun yang terjadi pasti yang terbaik buat mereka lah. we're nothing. believe&good night!
