#GiaAndRyanAreReal#

#GiaAndRyanBreakUp#

#BreakupInterview#

Bloggers analyzed everything in detail. "When actors spend so much time apart, it's easy for them to grow distant.

"I'm guessing it's a personality clash. Both Gia and Ryan have short fuses. Weren't they even caught arguing in public last time? Two headstrong people can't last. It's no surprise they split."

In reality, they were all wrong. Ryan and I broke up because he cheated.

I saw Ryan and Shelly Barnes getting all cozy in the hallway with my own eyes.

Shelly, the second female lead of the show, started her career as a child star and had won several awards for her acting. But she had a problem—she loved flirting with men, especially the male leads. On set, she would follow Ryan around, saying, "Mr. Davenport, your acting is incredible. You really bring out the emotions. I just can't seem to nail it. Mr. Davenport, can you give me some pointers?

"Mr. Davenport, wait up. Let's have lunch together."

There was a scene where the general rescued the drowning second female lead, and it took a whopping seven takes to get it right, even though Shelly usually nailed her scenes in one take.

I even saw her knocking on Ryan's door in the middle of the night to rehearse lines with him.

Ryan always knew what kind of person Shelly was. He told me he didn't like her and that he would keep his distance from her.

But that day, after having dinner with my best friend, I went to find him. Outside his place, I saw Shelly and Ryan looking pretty cozy on his doorstep.

Later, Shelly texted me. In the picture, Ryan was resting his head on Shelly's shoulder, their hands tightly clasped together. It was clearly a provocation.

I broke up with him right away and blocked him.

Originally, this show wasn't supposed to air until next year, but thanks to the male lead's scandal on another series, our schedule got bumped up.

So, yeah, I had to do a promo with my ex-boyfriend. Let's just say I deserved a medal for not flipping out on him and that homewrecker.

With all the buzz, the show totally blew up, with millions of viewers eagerly waiting for the next episode.

Shippers fans said, "I knew they were dating! No wonder their chemistry was so sweet on screen!"

Beauty fans said, "Gia is the queen! We stan our gorgeous Gia."

The director stayed up several nights editing the series and finally released it for early access viewing.

I originally planned to fake being sick or say I had a scheduling conflict to avoid the early access premiere, but Bobby threatened me, saying, "Gia, do you want to lose money?" So, I had no choice but to attend.

After not seeing each other for half a month, Ryan looked a bit rough around the edges. Even a thick layer of foundation couldn't hide the bags under his eyes. Meanwhile, Shelly, hanging on Ryan's arm, was all smiles and sunshine.

"Jeez! Doesn't she know how to take a break? Not worried about burning out?" I thought.

Our enthusiastic director spotted me and dragged me front and center, right next to Ryan. He couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys are such a perfect match."

I plastered on a fake smile and edged away from Ryan, feeling irritated by his presence.

Ryan subtly closed the distance to Shelly, who beamed in response. Meanwhile, Bobby frantically signaled me from below, but I played dumb, staring down at my feet.

During the audience Q&A, the director decided to spice things up. "There's a scene in the show where the young general and the princess stand on a high tower, watching fireworks together. Fans loved it. Any real-life sparks fly while filming that scene?"
