AI-AI DELAS ALAS CONFIRMS SPLIT WITH HUSBAND GERALD SIBAYAN

ACTRESS and comedian Ai-Ai delas Alas on Monday confirmed that she and her husband Gerald Sibayan have parted ways.

In a “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” interview, delas Alas — who is celebrating her 60th birthday on Monday, November 11 — was emotional as she confirmed that the split happened last October.

“Hiwalay na kami. Last month pa. Basta hindi ko makakalimutan. October 14, nag-chat siya, ta’s madaling araw sa Pilipinas. ‘Yun nga. Sinabi niya na gusto niya magkaanak at hindi na siya happy,” delas Alas told Abunda.

“So medyo confused ako and shocked, and bakit ngayon? Bakit ngayong oras na ‘to? Sana hinintay mo man lang ako makauwi sa Amerika,” she added.

Delas Alas said that they have tried in vitro fertilization (IVF) to have a baby but failed multiple times.

“Sabi ko sa kanya, kapag nagkapera kami, isu-surprise ko sana siya na ilalagay ko ‘yung baby para magkaroon kami ng baby. Siguro ‘yun ‘yung nag-trigger sa kaniya na ayaw niya ng surprise na bibigyan ko siya ng baby,” she said.

Delas Alas explained that they had no significant argument before they called it quits.

“Sa buong pagsasama namin, bilang sa daliri ang discussion nga hindi ang away, so parang nagulat lang ako na why ngayon,” she added.

Delas Alas expressed belief that there was a third party on the part of Sibayan.

 “It doesn’t matter na meron o wala na kasi nung sinabi niya na firm na siya sa desisyon, wala naman na akong ilalaban di ba? ‘Pag lumaban pa kasi ako kunyari nag-stay ako, parang alam ko naman iyong magiging ending eh,” she said.

The actress comedian wished her husband well, adding that she’s still in the moment of processing things.
