Pokwang opened up about their divorce from long-term partner, American actor Lee O’Brian, for the first time.

Pokwang and Lee was already split since November 20, 2021, according to entertainment columnist Ogie Diaz’s vlog on July 8, 2022.

Pokwang revealed in an Instagram post on Sunday, July 10, that they have been separated from Lee for seven months.

Pokwang also stated that they continue to co-parent their 4-year-old daughter Malia.

“Yes its been seven months since tapusin namin ni papang ang lahat, pero maayos at mapayapa, at bilang magkaibigan na lamang mas nagagampanan namin ang mga tungkulin bilang magulang ni Malia,” Pokwang said in the caption (published as is).

“Natapos man ito sa di inaasahang panahon hindi dito hihinto ang pagiging nanay ko sa mga anak ko. at mas lalo kong minahal ang mga biyayang sakin ay binigay ng panginoon”

She then expressed gratitude to her late mother, Gloria, for serving as an inspiration to her despite her circumstances.

“Ikaw aking nanay Gloria ang aking inspirasyon sa pagiging matatag at matibay na nanay,” Pokwang continued, “salamat sa iyo at alam kong lagi kang nakagabay sa amin ng mga apo mo kaya ni minsan at kailan man di ka mawawaglit saking mga dasal.”

Eventually, Pokwang has a message for other single parents.

“Sa mga single parent na kagaya ko hindi karma ang natapos na pagmamahalan kundi mas pinapatatag ka at pinaghahanda ka sa mas magaganda at mas maraming biyaya

“Hindi karma ang mabiyayaan ka ng mga anak na nagpapasaya at nagpapangiti sayo araw araw at dahilan ng pagsisikap mo sa buhay #Wagmapagodparasamgaanak”

Pokwang shared photos of herself with Malia, her eldest daughter Mae, and her mother Gloria on Instagram. The last part of Pokwang’s post appears to have something to do with the basher who responded that her and Lee’s divorce was karma. Pokwang refused to reveal the reason for Lee’s separation.

Pokwang refused to reveal the reason for Lee’s divorce.

“Sa totoo lang masalimuot, pero ang sinabi lang ni Pokwang, ‘Ang importante ay hindi kami magkagalit nung maghiwalay kami ni Papang [Lee],” Ogie said in his vlog.

Pokwang and Lee met in 2015 while filming the film Edsa Woolworth in America.

Their union came true, and Lee chose to live in the Philippines with Pokwang.
