Maxene Magalona opened up about her divorce from husband Rob Mananquil, saying it was mutually agreed upon.

Magalona revealed in an interview the exact moment she realized her marriage was over.

“I had that moment na parang naisip ko, enough is enough. I didn’t feel like I was myself anymore. I could also see him experiencing that. Both of us were struggling na,”  she admitted to Toni Gonzaga.

“I was the one who decided na parang hindi na talaga match. Nasabi ko naman yun lahat sa kanya at naintindihan niya. It was more of a mutual decision really,” she added.

Despite their divorce, Magalona knew she had done everything she could to keep their marriage together.

“Of course, that’s why I can move forward now with clarity. Kasi I know me, I know that I give my all and I exhaust all options. At the end of the day, if it’s just not a match anymore, you will have to just accept that,”  she said.

“A separation is painful. You have to grieve that. It’s a loss, a heartbreak, a failure. You have to come to terms with that. But at the same time, no matter how painful, you will have to accept that everything does happen for a reason.”

Instead of dwelling on why this happened in their marriage, Magalona stated that she would rather invest her energy in working on herself.

Meanwhile, Magalona has openly discussed the possibility of falling in love again.

“I will be honest that I have been speaking and forming connections and I want to really connect. I am turning 36 in a few days and I don’t want to let pain stop me from living my life the way I want to.”

Magalona explained what kind of love she is looking for right now: “A conscious love. I want him to be self-aware, conscious, spiritual, connected to God, knows what he wants. I want an artist, someone who can create and just be passionate. I want someone who loves life as much as I do.”

In the same interview, the actress addressed rumors that she is a third party in the marriage of an unidentified known couple.

“[I am not bothered by the rumors] at all. I live with integrity. I speak my truth fearlessly because I know I am a woman of my word.”
