Breaking up is often portrayed as a tumultuous event, fraught with emotional turmoil and irreparable damage to the relationship. However, for actor Jericho Rosales, parting ways with his longtime partner Kim Jones was a different story altogether. Rosales opened up about their separation, in an interview. Shedding light on their unconventional decision to remain friends post-breakup.
Contrary to the typical narrative of bitter exes and severed ties, Rosales revealed that he and Jones shared a moment of laughter when news of their breakup surfaced earlier this year. Rather than dwelling on the negativity surrounding their split, they saw it as an opportunity to showcase the strength of their bond as friends. “We thought that it was the perfect time because the goal was really to show people that we’re good. We’re really good,” Rosales emphasized.
Despite ending their romantic relationship, Rosales and Jones continue to support each other both personally and professionally. They collaborate on projects, with Rosales even taking on a role in a film produced by Jones. Their ability to maintain a healthy working relationship speaks volumes about their maturity and mutual respect.
Rosales’s upcoming film, “Eliseo,” serves as another testament to their enduring friendship, as it was co-written by Jones. Despite the end of their romantic involvement, their creative partnership remains strong, underscoring the depth of their connection beyond romantic feelings.
While some may view their breakup as a source of sadness, Rosales chooses to focus on the positive aspects of their separation. He views it as a success story, demonstrating that endings don’t always have to be accompanied by heartache and resentment. “I think the best part was that it was considered a ‘success’ when we felt that people understood and people saw that things like this can happen,” Rosales reflected.
Rumors surrounding their breakup had been circulating for some time, fueled by the absence of social media posts featuring each other. Despite the speculation, Rosales clarified that their decision to part ways was mutual and amicable. Their ability to navigate the complexities of their breakup with grace and maturity serves as an inspiration to others facing similar situations.
Rosales and Jones defy the norm by choosing friendship over animosity. Their story serves as a reminder that relationships don’t always follow a conventional path and that endings can pave the way for new beginnings, both personally and professionally. As they embark on separate journeys, Rosales and Jones stand as proof that love, in all its forms, endures.
