Sa wakas, ipinagtapat na ni Priscilla Meirelles na hiwalay na sila ni John Estrada, at tumanggi siya sa kagustuhan ng mister na makipagbalikan sa kanya.  


“The book is closed,” ani Priscilla kay Karen Davila sa panayam nito sa kanya sa YouTube (YT) vlog nito last April 10, 2025.


May isa silang anak ni John na si Anechka Estrada at dito na lang daw niya ipo-focus ang kanyang atensiyon at buhay.


Nilinaw din ni Priscilla na ikinasal sila ni John nu'ng February 2011 at never silang nagpa-annul, kaya masasabing mag-asawa pa rin sila at nais niyang manatili siyang asawa ni John sa mata ng Diyos at sa batas.


Hindi raw naging madali kay Priscilla ang magdesisyong hiwalayan si John kahit paulit-ulit na ang ginagawa nito sa kanya.


“That behavior was not the first time that happened. It’s been happening for many years. I endured a lot. People have no idea. What I can say is that if I step out, I said something and we are where we are right now.”


Naihanda niya raw nang husto ang sarili sa hiwalayan nila at ipinagpapasalamat daw

niyang responsableng ama naman si John sa kanilang anak.  


Pahayag pa niya, “I’ll say that I’m very prepared. Emotionally, first one. Financially, number two. But thank God and thank John, he’s a good provider. So far, he’s been providing regardless of what the situation ends up to be. 


“He does love his daughter so greatly and he is a good father. Maybe not a perfect father, but I think he’s the best father that he can be. The way that he was taught [growing] up to learn to be. He’s a good provider. So, I can give that to him.”


Inamin din ni Priscilla na masakit ang kinahantungan nila ng asawa.


Twenty-seven years old pa lamang daw si Priscilla noong ikinasal sila ni John. Marami pa raw sanang opportunities na maaari niyang naranasan bilang crowned Miss Earth 2004 na puwedeng humantong at umpisahan ang showbiz career niya sa Pilipinas. Pero, hindi na raw niya ito nagawa dahil nag-asawa na nga siya.  


Sa kabila nito, hindi naman daw niya pinagsisihan na pinakasalan niya si John.

Aniya, “I have no regrets. We had a wonderful life despite all the roller coasters. I do have high regard for him. I do respect him as the father of my daughter. And I’m grateful that he’s a good provider. 


“He always says that he loves me so much. And I believe he does in his own way.”

Pero nauubos din daw ang kanyang pasensiya.


“The issue is, Karen, he doesn’t love me the way I deserve to be loved. And that’s the issue. So I do believe that he tries his best. The problem is his best is not what I need.”


Sabi pa ni Priscilla, “So, I really cherish all the moments. And I'm here to support him. I pray and hope that he continues to be a good father. That his actions do not reflect whatever is happening in our relationship.”


Kinlaro rin ni Priscilla na tapos na talaga sila ni John, “Whatever happens between the two of us, we’re not ending up together. I always have high, you know, high appreciation for him being the father of Anechka.  


“I know that he has high hopes that maybe one day, the way I feel changes. I don’t think so. Because I’m the type of person that when I step out of the room, I’m gone. So I fight until the last minute, until my last breath. But once I decide no more, it’s no more.”


At hindi na raw ito magbabago. 

Biro pa niya, “And I actually joke with him and a lot of my friends, I say, well, if he becomes a pastor.”

This empowered them to enjoy the movie at their own pace and comfort level.
