JOHN ESTRADA, PRISCILLA MEIRELLES MARITAL PROBLEM
In recent weeks, the marriage of John and his wife Priscilla Meirelles has been in the limelight.

Most netizens suspected that the couple had separated.

This stemmed from the actor’s post while on vacation in Boracay.

John’s post on July 14, 2024, shows a photo of him showing the view of the hotel he was staying at.

It is captioned “What an awesome place.”

In the comments section, a netizen jokingly asked who among Lena (Mercedes Cabral) and Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) is Rigor’s (John’s character) partner in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.

In teleserye, Marites is Rigor’s wife, while Rigor is dating Lena.

Priscilla’s answer surprised many.

Instead of joining in on the netizens’ joke, Priscilla said that Lena and Marites were not with John in Boracay.

A woman named “Lily Hallman” was the one Priscilla seemed to sarcastically tease.

Priscilla had an additional tease that intrigued netizens even more.

She said, “Looking very divorced Mr. Estrada.”

IG user Lily Hallman was tagged here again.PRISCILLA MEIRELLES FACEBOOK LIVE
Priscilla followed up her spicy comments on her husband’s post with a Facebook Live.

This further added to netizens’ suspicion that the two were going through something.

Especially since Priscilla left the country without John.

On July 15, 2024, Priscilla posted a photo of herself on an airplane and at the airport with her son and John on her Instagram account.

Priscilla captioned it, “What’s next?! [Brazil flag and airplane emoji].”

The hashtags included Brazil and the city of Manaus in Brazil.

The hashtags also included #familyvacay and #vacay2024.

This followed her Facebook live to express her thoughts on her misunderstanding with John.

Priscilla admitted that she went to Brazil to think things through.

In the middle of Priscilla’s live, a netizen directly asked if there was a third party in her marital issues.

The netizen said, “Idol, is John new again? That’s awesome, you’re too beautiful to look for someone else.”

Priscilla quickly reacted, “Oh, what’s this? I’m sorry, that’s how life is.”

It seemed like her insult slipped, “There’s no, there’s no, er… there’s no divorce in the Philippines yet, right?”

She also immediately retracted, “Just kidding, guys. All I want to say is that a little respect.”

Priscilla did not mention in the livestream her sarcastic insult in the comments section that there was another woman with John.

But it can be inferred that what was being discussed in her livestream was related to her marital problems.

Her insult was serious, as if “divorce” had crossed her mind, even though she said she had withdrawn it.

Priscilla was right, she is patient and forgiving to people who deserve to be given a second chance.

But she says it really gets to the point where she gets too carried away.

She said: “I’m a very patient [person]. I’m very kind. I’m a very forgiving person.

“But until the limit. When I get to my limit, I’m sorry.

“I don’t think I’m the best person for you to fight.

“Because, you know, the nicest people, they turn to be the most dangerous people.

“Because when we give our best and we get to the limit of the abuse of certain people, we know we just throw, we don’t care anymore.”

Priscilla also stressed that there are mistakes that cannot be simply overlooked.

He said, “I think when you do things, you need to be very careful about the consequences of the things that you do in life.

“We’re all grown-ups, right? We’re grown-up. We’re all adults.

“Everything that you do, there is a consequence. And I refuse to let it pass anything from this point onwards.

“So, that’s basically who I am.”

Priscilla knows she might be criticized for revealing something private about her life.

But she says she sees it as the right thing to do.

The Brazilian beauty queen said, “Sometimes you just want to just tell, to help with everything, you know…

“I had enough.

“Maybe I’m in my time that I said, I need to say, I had enough. Right?

“I have a voice. I had enoughJOHN ESTRADA ISSUES STATEMENT

“Priscilla and I have mutually agreed to take a break for quite some time now. There’s more to the story but the last thing I want to do is hurt the people I love.

“I want to make it clear that I am not in a relationship with Lily Hallman or any woman for that matter. I just met her in Boracay.

“I had a short break from work and felt the need for a breather.

“This is a private family matter that’s why I ask for privacy as we deal with this. Thank you!PRISCILLA MEIRELLESS CONTRADICTS HUSBAND
Priscilla also contradicted her husband John’s statement that they had a “mutual agreement” regarding their separation.

According to her, she was very surprised and disappointed after reading the actor’s statement.

Here is Priscilla’s full statement:

“To clarify, there was never any mutual agreement regarding our separation. We were married when I left the Philippines, and we remain married as of this time.

“While there is indeed more to this story, it is not the appropriate time to delve into those details. Regardless of what those may be, however, it won’t change the course of faith.

“I appreciate your constant support, kindness, and love during this difficult time. I trust that, in due course, all will be resolved appropriately.

“Thank you for your understanding.
