Naiintindihan ni Max Collins ang damdamin ng kapwa Kapuso actress na si Carla Abellana nang magbitaw ito ng salitang tila hindi na niya nakikita ang sariling magpapakasal muli.
Tulad ni Carla, si Max ay hiwalay rin sa asawa.
Ikinasal si Max sa Kapuso actor na si Pancho Magno noong December 11, 2017, pero pagkalipas ng apat na taon ay nagdesisyon silang tuldukan ang pagsasama nila bilang mag-asawa.
Mayroon silang isang anak, si Skye Anakin, 3.
“I think ganun talaga, that’s what you’re gonna feel, because if you have a failed marriage, you don’t wanna have a failed marriage again.
“Yeah, I feel the same way—that I don’t want to get married again,” pahayag ni Max sa eksklusibong panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
Sabay sabi rin niya, “But I don’t wanna eat my words, so I don’t know, only time can tell.”
Sa ngayon ay single daw si Max.
Aniya, “No, I am not [in a relationship] at the moment. I think I am just really focusing on my career and on our child right now. Dun muna, yes.”
BEST FRIENDS WITH PANCHO
Tinanong din namin ang Kapuso actress kung tanggap ba niya kung saka-sakaling magkaroon ng bagong girlfriend ang estranged husband.
Sagot ni Max, “Yeah, I will always be here to support him. He’s my best friend, and I want him to be happy. That’s what I really want.”
Wala na silang negatibong nararamdaman dahil sa breakup nila?
Sagot ni Max, “No, I think we’re past that. I think we just have good energy, good vibes with each other for our family.”
Paniniguro ng aktres, bukas ang komunikasyon sa pagitan nila ni Pancho.
“We talk every day, we talk about our son, our plans for our son, ganyan.
“Okay talaga kami, in the time that has passed, best friend na kami. And whatever pain is in the past was left in the past.
“We’re okay now.”
Kuwento ni Max, maganda ang co-parenting set-up nila ni Pancho.
“We’re happy, we’re great. Our dynamics is great as parents.
“Our son is happy and healthy and that makes us happy, so we’re in good place now.”
LESSONS ON MARRIAGE
Sa huli ay binahagi rin ni Max ang mga aral na natutunan niya sa naging pagsasama nila ni Pancho.
Si Max ay 31 years old, habang si Pancho ay 37.
“Patience, I guess. Kailangan din masunod ang mga pangarap mo sa buhay. Like, whatever you are doing, you have to do it.
“After that, you can really commit to that person.
“Kasi at the end of the day, marriage and having a family is another career, it’s a big commitment.
“You have to be sure that you’re right for each other. Importante compatible kayo sa lahat ng bagay.”
