Despite welcoming the single life this 2024 after breaking things off with her longtime boyfriend Xian Lim, Kim Chiu still celebrated Valentine's Day through some much-needed me-time.
"The most important relationship in your life is with yourself. Nourish your mind, body and soul, and learn to love yourself this love month just like me!" Kim wrote in a post.
"How I spent Valentine’s this year: I woke up early and did a fasted cardio, hustled at work, and then spent some much needed me time at home. I stayed away from social media and unnecessary noise, just embracing the peace and quiet by myself," she continued.
The actress also received flowers with a heartfelt letter from Direk Lauren Dyogi.
"Dearest Kimmy, I know your heart went thru a lot of aches these past few months. Wishing your heart a good rest and may you soon find the joy and love that is truly yours! For now, kami muna ang Valentine mo. Happy Valentine's Day!." the director said.
