2019: Hiatus[edit]
Though in the same year, Bernardo said they wanted to do separate projects to advance their own careers independently but not where they would have a different on-screen partner than each other taking into consideration the sentiment of Kathniel fans.[9] They would mutually decide not take the same projects in both film and television for the following year.[10]

Dissolution[edit]
Around early November 2023, Ogie Diaz reportedly said that he received unconfirmed information that Bernardo and Padilla already broke up. The rumors was received badly by Kathniel fans calling Diaz a fake news peddler.[16]
Apparently dispelling the rumors, the two appeared together at an Omega event on November 14. They danced together.[17]
On November 30, Bernardo confirmed the end of her relationship with Padilla through her social media account. She said that they parted ways amicably.[18]
