Nadine Lustre unfollows James Reid, Issa Pressman on Instagram
IG mutuals no more.
Nadine Lustre is no longer following James Reid and Issa Pressman on Instagram.
The three made the rounds online on Friday, Sept. 27 after eagle-eyed social media users pointed out that the new couple can't be found on Nadine’s following list on the social media platform anymore. Issa and James, however, are still following her as of writing.
This comes over a year after Issa and James sparked dating rumors when they shared photos of each other during Harry Styles' Love on Tour concert in Manila. The photos posted in in March 2023 included a mirror selfie as they held each other's hands.
Their "soft launch" got mixed reactions, as Issa had been accused of being a third party during James's relationship with Nadine. James and Nadine announced their breakup in January 2020, but said it actually happened in November 2019.
Days later, James took to Twitter and Instagram Story to address criticisms against Issa, saying past rumors about them "are just that, rumors."
James said he felt the need to speak up because "this is the start of something beautiful,” which he said he won't let anyone take away from him.
“All you need to know from me," he said, "is that [I’m] the happiest I’ve ever been," he said.
Issa, in September 2023, looked back on the bashing she and James experienced when they became Instagram official. “Honestly, I think every single couple who goes through challenges, that’s a good test to know how you’re gonna be there for each other,” Issa said. "I think that moment really proved to me how much of a supportive boyfriend I have."
“I really felt like, I wouldn’t have gone through that situation if it wasn’t for him. He really made me feel comfortable, strong, safe, very much protected. And he always made me see the positive in every single negative, you know, and that brought up the positivity in me. But I’m happy. We’re happy,” she added.
Nadine is currently in a relationship with French businessman Christophe Bariou.
