Nadine Lustre and James Reid, aka Jadine, are the latest famous showbiz couple who are said to have broken up due to “irreconcilable differences.”
A source close to both Nadine and James confirmed to PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) columnist Jojo Gabinete that they’ve already parted ways. Talk of the breakup made headlines Wednesday, January 1.
But, Nadine’s reaction to the rumors has suggested otherwise.
Responding to Philippine Star entertainment editor Ricky Lo, who confirmed the PEP.ph report on January 4 both in print and online, Nadine countered: “None of what you said was true…”
JaDine fans have also become riled by the news, reminding everyone that James and Nadine celebrated Christmas and New Year together.
That said, Nadine and James have set the bar high on #relationshipgoals or #couplegoals. Their individual Instagram accounts have become a treasure trove of their sweetest moments and memorable travel destinations.
Here are some of the couple’s most memorable trips in the country and elsewhere in the world after admitting their relationship to the public in February 2016.
SAGADA
Sagada is one of James’s favorite destinations in the Philippines. In September 2017, the couple went on an adventure to Sagada, Mountain Province. James and Nadine must have really loved the experience because they went back for another round of trekking the next year, in March 2018.
BENGUET
In August 2017, JaDine conquered Mt. Ulap in Benguet with some friends. Mt. Ulap is known for its surreal view of a sea of clouds.
The couple loved the view, and returned in January 2018. This time, they returned with Ivan Dorschner, Alex Diaz, and James’s brother, Jack Reid.

Nadine uploaded her own Instagram photos of the El Nido trip. For one caption, she quoted from SG Lewis’s song “Warm”: “even if I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming with you.”
In another post, she included lyrics from Ivy Sole’s song “Bones”: “every breath, I spend it best, right next to you im drowning btw…”
