“She’s a big part of my career journey,” he acknowledged. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. Thank you so much, Kathryn, for all the years we spent together.”

Despite their romantic split, Daniel emphasized he cherishes their fond memories.

“I’ll always hold onto our wonderful memories,” he shared. “All the adventures and journeys we shared. Thank you very much!”

Interestingly, the break-up provided Daniel with an opportunity to reconnect with his siblings.

“I’m doing well! I found new life and reconnected with my roots,” he shared, reflecting on the value of family and personal growth.

Amidst his separation from Kathryn, the popular actor found comfort in his close circle. He described this period as a learning experience, emphasizing the value of spending time with loved ones.

Addressing fans who distanced themselves after the split, he conveyed acceptance and appreciation for those who remained supportive. Maintaining a private stance during the peak of media attention, he expressed his desire for privacy and personal space.

Regarding future relationships, Daniel prioritized self-love and career focus. He politely declined the prospect of love at the moment, emphasizing personal growth and self-discovery as his current priorities.

“At this point, no. Love for human nature. I don’t want to think about it right now. I would rather concentrate on work. No love life. I want to work on myself. I need to love myself first,” Daniel ended.
