Donita sa ex-husband: Pinatawad ko na ‘yung hayop na ‘yun! Joke!!!

HANDA na raw magka-boyfriend uli ang TV host-actress na si Donita Rose. Totally, naka-move on na raw siya sa paghihiwalay nila ng dati niyang asawang si Eric Villarama at ready na uli siyang magka-lovelife.

Ilang taon na ring single si Donita at binatilyo na rin ang anak nila ni Eric na si Joshua Paul or JP (14 years old) kaya feeling niya ito na ang tamang panahon para magkaroon uli ng bagong inspirasyon. Naghiwalay sila ni Eric noong 2016 pagkatapos ng 12 taong pagsasama.

Nakachikahan namin si Donita at ng iba pang miyembro ng entertainment press sa presscon ng kanyang cooking show sa GMA 7 na Heart Mate Kitchen Season 2 at dito nga naitanong sa kanya kung okay na uli ang status ng kanyang puso.

“Yes. Well, I would say that it’s difficult (mag-move on), but it’s also exciting at the same time. My entire life, I’ve been dedicated to serving my family; not just my immediate family, my siblings.

“Siyempre, when I came back to the Philippines, di ba, naghiwalay nga ako, it was really the first time I really focused on myself. Like, having my own place na, you know, going back to working out, and just focusing on my son. So it was hard at first, but I think I’m fully recovered na,” paliwanag ni Donita.

Nag-demand ba siya ng financial support kay Eric para kay JP? “No. I just don’t want to hold any grudges.

“But the dad, just this year, has offered to help a little bit more (sa tuition).” Friends na raw sila ng kanyang ex-husband at wala na ring kahit konting galit sa puso niya, “We’re friends na. Ang joke lang is, I always say na, ‘Pinatawad ko na yung hayop na iyan!’ Pero joke lang yun.”

After ng kanyang failed marriage, may criteria na ba siya sa pagpili niya ng bagong lalaking mamahalin niya? “Basta the most important thing to me is God-fearing. Kasi maraming puwedeng mapag-usapan if that person is so close to God.”

“Tsaka gusto ko yung mahilig kumain. Mahilig mag-exercise para balanse. Kailangan funny din. I love to have conversations with people. Sa bahay namin sobra namin daldal. Si ate, si JP, hindi ‘yan tumitigil. And I don’t want somebody who is quiet. I want somebody who can also, like you know…” sey pa ng TV host-actress.

Kung matatandaan, i-namin ni Donita na ang pa-ngangaliwa ni Eric ang naging rason ng paghihiwalay nila. Mismong Valentine’s day daw niya nahuli ang kanyang ex na may ibang babae sa Amerika. Nang muli raw silang magkausap after ng guesting niya sa isang talk show kung saan inilahad nga niya ang mga pinagdaanan niya noon, humingi sa kanya ng tawad si Eric.

“He told me, ‘You know, I just wanna say that I’m sorry.’

“It was the first time na nag-apologize siya. When he said sorry, siyempre medyo nakaraos na rin. And then he said, ‘Even though I have moved on in my life, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t regret hurting you.’

“So, naiyak naman ako nang kaunti. Nabola na naman ako. Ha-hahaha! But you know, these are things, whether sincere or not, those words that are spoken are powerful. And they do something, they bring healing to the heart,” aniya pa.
