They were the winning couple on Mediacorp reality dating show Wingman, but it looks like Thai actress Frayya, 23, and Filipino model and actor LA, 33, couldn't make their romance work in the real world.

The pair, who walked away with the S$20,000 (US$15,660) grand prize, continued dating after filming wrapped in March but called it quits a few months later.

Speaking to 8days.sg, LA shared that they had mutually agreed to go their separate ways.

"I'll be honest, it did take a while for me to move on, but I think things happen for a reason, and I'm thankful it ended the way it did and when it did."

According to LA, the couple found themselves on different paths after returning to their everyday lives.

"Though being at the show did help us imagine an ideal future in long distance dating, being in the 'reality' of the real world differs from that of the show," he explained.

"Different settings, distance, and environment do affect one's emotional state and feelings."

Their busy careers also made it difficult to stay connected, with the pair sometimes only finding time to talk late at night or even the following day.

Still, LA believes long-distance relationships can work "as long as both parties are committed and ready".

For those who followed their romance on Wingman, the split might come as a surprise.

The couple appeared genuinely smitten with each other on the show, with LA repeatedly describing Frayya as his "home".

After filming ended, LA, who is based in Manila, even made plans to visit Frayya in Bangkok at least once a month.

He also got to know her family and joined them on a trip out of town.

When they were apart, LA made an effort to keep the romance alive.

He downloaded a messaging app popular in Thailand so they could stay in touch and regularly surprised Frayya with deliveries of cakes, snacks, flowers and her favourite iced matcha, whether she was at work or at home.

Despite their efforts, however, the distance and their hectic schedules eventually took a toll on the relationship.

LA shared that he and Frayya are no longer in contact, though he wishes her well.

“I think we will always hold a special place in each other’s lives no matter what happens. We did go through something together so the bond will definitely still be there.”

As for his love life, LA is currently single and focusing on his acting career.

"If the moment comes, it would be great to build a genuine connection with someone," he said.

"'Til then, I'll be in my little corner working and building."

8days.sg also reached out to Frayya for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

菲律宾演员 LA 表示，他曾努力定期去曼谷探望泰国女演员 Frayya，但由于两人工作繁忙，很难保持联系。

这段音频是由人工智能工具生成的。

他们是新传媒真人约会节目《僚机》的获胜情侣，但看起来23岁的泰国女演员弗蕾雅和33岁的菲律宾模特兼演员LA在现实生活中无法让他们的恋情开花结果。

这对情侣赢得了 20,000 新元（15,660 美元）的大奖，在 3 月份拍摄结束后继续交往，但几个月后就分手了。

LA在接受8days.sg采访时表示，他们双方已达成共识，决定分道扬镳。

“说实话，我确实花了一段时间才走出来，但我认为事出必有因，我很庆幸事情最终以这种方式、在那个时候结束了。”

据洛杉矶报道，这对夫妇回到日常生活后，发现自己走上了不同的道路。

“虽然参加这个节目确实帮助我们想象了异地恋的理想未来，但现实世界的‘现实’与节目中的现实有所不同，”他解释道。

“不同的环境、距离和氛围确实会影响一个人的情绪状态和感受。”

他们繁忙的事业也让他们很难保持联系，两人有时只能在深夜甚至第二天才能抽出时间交谈。

不过，洛杉矶认为，只要双方都投入且做好准备，异地恋就能成功。

对于那些在真人秀节目《僚机》中关注他们恋情的人来说，他们的分手可能会让他们感到惊讶。

这对情侣在节目中看起来真的非常相爱，LA 还多次称 Frayya 为他的“家”。

拍摄结束后，居住在马尼拉的 LA 甚至计划每月至少去曼谷探望 Frayya 一次。

他还结识了她的家人，并和他们一起去了外地旅行。

在他们分开的这段时间里，洛杉矶努力维系着这段恋情。

他下载了一款在泰国流行的即时通讯应用，以便他们保持联系，并经常给弗拉雅送去蛋糕、零食、鲜花和她最喜欢的冰抹茶，无论她是在上班还是在家，都会给她带来惊喜。

然而，尽管他们努力维系这段感情，但距离和繁忙的日程最终还是给他们的关系带来了影响。

LA透露他和Frayya已经不再联系，但他祝她一切顺利。

“我认为无论发生什么，我们彼此的生命中都会永远占据一个特殊的位置。我们一起经历过很多事，所以这份情谊肯定会一直都在。”

至于他的感情生活，LA目前单身，专注于他的演艺事业。

“如果时机成熟，能与某人建立真正的联系就太好了，”他说。

“在那之前，我会在我的小角落里工作和建设。”

8days.sg 也联系了 Frayya 征求意见，但截至发稿时尚未收到回复。
