Ai-Ai delas Alas finally confirmed that she was already separated from her husband, Gerald Sibayan.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Ai-Ai said that Gerald only informed her about his decision to end their relationship via text message, saying that he wanted to build his own family and have a child, which the comedian couldn’t provide due to her age.
“Oo, hiwalay na kami. Sinabi niya na gusto niya magkaanak, hindi na siya happy,” said Ai-Ai.
Ai-Ai tried to build a family with Gerald via in vitro fertilization (IVF), but their attempts failed several times, which made the latter disappointed.
When asked if it was possible that Gerald met another woman in America, Ai-Ai only said that she was unsure about it.
“Aahhh, bilang asawa, di ba ang mga asawa malalakas ang [pakiramdam]? Ako, ramdam ko meron. Ramdam ko. Gut feel,” said Ai-Ai. “Pero it doesn’t matter kung meron o wala. Kasi nung sinabi niya na firm na siya sa decision, wala na naman akong ilalaban, di ba?”
“Kapag lumaban pa kasi ako, kunyari nag-stay ako, alam ko naman ang magiging ending. Yung dignity at self-worth ko, mawawala na yon. Nagtira naman ako kasi alam ko na mangyayari uli yon. Kasi nung 2019, nag-cheat na rin siya noon,” she added.
According to her, she already had trust issues with Gerald after what happened in 2019.
As of writing, Gerald, whose social media pages were already deleted, has yet to give any response to Ai-Ai’s statement.
Ai-Ai introduced Gerald, who was 30 years younger than her, in 2014.
