Carla Abellana is happy with where she is now as she has completely closed a chapter of her life and moved on from her ex-husband, actor Tom Rodriguez.
According to a Sept. 27 report by GMA’s Unang Balita, the actress said she has “definitely” put their past relationship behind her for good when asked about the state of her heart.
“Oo naman po, definitely po. Nabanggit ko po kanina, nahanap ko na po ‘yung aking peace,” she said.
“Talagang nasara ko na po ‘yung chapter na ‘yun ng aking buhay. Lagpas-lagpas pa po ako sa pagmu-move on, ‘yung ganun,” she added.
The local star shared she’s “very happy” with where she stands in her life at the moment. “Masayang-masaya po ako, definitely, masaya po ako kung nasaan ako ngayon sa buhay ko,” she mused.
Tom and Carla got married in October 2021.
They sparked divorce rumors after Carla was spotted without her wedding ring in early 2022. Tom also deactivated his Instagram account a few days after social media users noticed that Carla was no longer in his following and follower list.
Tom, who is an American citizen, announced their divorce in June without getting into much detail about their split. “I left the Philippines for the US last March 13, with the realization that despite all my efforts, Carla had already given up on our marriage,” he said in a statement posted by his manager Popoy Caritavito. “It was not a perfect relationship, but we both know how much we loved each other,” he said.
In her February 2023 guesting on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Carla said she has forgiven Tom after everything that happened between them. “For you to be able to forgive kailangan po ako, Tito Boy, ang lagi kong sinasabi, I have to forgive myself first. So yes, I have. Wala man po sa hitsura, but I have,” she said at the time.
