In 2021, Elisse opened up about the ~wildest~ moment she had with McCoy in PBB. She said they already considered themselves to be dating when she re-entered the house: "Kasi 'di ba there were cameras everywhere, and we didn't plan. Basta nag-swimming kami, and then sa pool, sabi namin, 'Ah, walang camera.' When we swam there, nagkaroon ng one kiss under the swimming pool...Hindi ko alam kung nakita 'yon ng staff!"
October 2016: McCoy speaks about courting Elisse.
In a joint interview on Tonight With Boy Abunda, McCoy said he and Elisse were perfectly fine being friends in the meantime. "Wala pa sa isip namin talaga. Nako-kontento kami ngayon. 'Pag may panahon siguro, hindi rin natin masasabi...Ako kasi 'pag nanliligaw ako, hindi ko sinasabi, 'Puwede bang manligaw?' Basta ipinaparamdam ko lang." Elisse then joked, "Ayaw ko naman po mag-assume. Para po sa akin, kailangan ko pong malaman, especially kasi si McCoy friendly po siya sa mga babae."
March 2018: Elisse reveals they're having problems.
During a Magandang Buhay guesting, Elisse said: "Ngayon po, we are learning to communicate [with] each other more. Parang may mahirap na pinagdadaanan pero kahit matagal 'yung proseso, ngayon pa lang po namin natutunan na maging mature sa mga bagay-bagay, na may mga priorities and along the way, we will be okay. 'Yung communication sobrang importante."
August 2018: Elisse says McCoy unfollowed her on social media.
During an interview, Elisse admitted that McCoy unfollowed her on Instagram, adding: "'Yon nga rin, hindi ko rin naiintindihan actually yung nangyaring 'yon. Hindi ko masabi kung bakit kaya nagtaka din ako. Ako, hindi ako nag-unfollow, the fans know about it, sila ang nakakita at nakaalam. Ako, hindi talaga ako aware." McCoy later followed her again. According to Elisse, she didn't ask why he unfollowed her in the first place. "Hindi ko na tinanong kung bakit, hindi ko na rin inalam kung bakit."
October 2018: McCoy confirms the *break up*.
McCoy said they were not on speaking terms and that he hadn't talked to Elisse since the last time they were together at the 2018 ABS-CBN Ball: "Nag-umpisa po yon [tampuhan] nung Wansapanataym niya. Parang doon nag-start lahat. 'Di ko na po alam kung ano talaga yung naging rason ng lahat."
He added: "Gusto ko sanang kausapin para maging maayos, maging maayos yung samahan namin. Kaso 'yon nga, hindi na po nasundan after nung Ball...Humingi siya ng time, ganyan, oras. Siguro hindi raw muna ngayon, balang araw daw, ganyan. So 'yon po, naintindihan ko naman po, binigay ko po sa kanya 'yon."
January 2019: Their latest movie, Sakaling Maging Tayo, is shown in cinemas.
In a promotional video for the film, they talked about their last moments together before their breakup, and things got *super emotional*. Netizens deduced that...
- They cared for each other deeply to continue supporting one another.
- McCoy sacrificed the relationship for his family.
- But he loved her. A lot.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, the two got emotional again when they opened up about the separation. They took turns apologizing to each other. Elisse said sorry for being "too needy, too pushy, na you felt like you weren't doing enough," and McCoy said, "Sorry kasi I had to—not give up but give way. Kinailangan kong gawin 'yon para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Sorry kung hindi na ako ang lalaking 'yon. Maniwala ka man o hindi, sobrang binigay ko ang lahat sa'yo. I did my part naman talaga. Siguro ang timing lang natin, hindi pa talaga puwede…Salamat sa love."
