Daniel Matsunaga is pleading for privacy after admitting relationship troubles with his girlfriend.

Daniel Matsunaga has asked for privacy amid relationship troubles with girlfriend and leading lady Erich Gonzales. He also denied that a third party has been causing the drama in their romance.

“Whatever is happening between me and Erich right now should be between the two of us please," he told one of his followers on Intsagaram. "We have nothing against each other and my love for her will always be there. So sa lahat ng mga haters, I just hope you guys respect her. Tama na please. Grabe kayo."

When one asked whether one of them is having an affair, he wrote: "There is no third party."

The couple's troubles began to surface early this week after some eagle-eyed fans noticed that Gonzales removed photos of her with her boyfriend from her Instagram account. Matsunaga has since admitted that they were "going through some personal things."

The two first met when Matsunaga joined the cast of primetime series "Two Wives" in January 2015, which Gonzales topbilled. They then admitted to being a couple in June 2015.

Gonzales and Matsunaga starred in the noontime series “Be My Lady," which ran for nine months as part of ABS-CBN's morning offerings.
