SHOCKING sa amin ang rebelasyon ni Harlene Bautista tungkol sa relasyon niya sa mister na si Romnick Sarmenta. Hiwalay na sila ni Romnick, at inamin niyang mahigit isang taon nang unstable ang kanilang relasyon.

Nung Huwebes lang namin ito nakumpirma sa joint statement na ibinigay sa amin ng dalawa, kasabay ng apela ng dating mag-asawa ng pang-unawa mula sa publiko.

Iginiit din ng former actress at nag-iisang kapatid na babae ni Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista na walang third party sa kanilang hiwalayan. Mutual decision ito at wala nang iba pang dahilan.

Relasyon at Hiwalayan

Pagpapakasal dahil lang sa anak, 'di bet ni Janella Salvador

Sa loob ng 19 years, tatlong beses ikinasal sina Harlene at Romnick. Sa isang civil ceremony in 1999, sa church wedding sa UP noong 2000, at sa renewal of vows nung 2002 sa Las Vegas, Nevada. Biniyayan din sila ng limang anak: sina Abijah, Zeke, Bo, Nirel, at Uela.

Here’s the joint statement: “Romnick and I have five beautiful children, whom we love and treasure very much—we have spent many years together as best friends and partners in everything that we have done. Even more so in raising our family.

“We will always be great friends if not the best of friends. With the greatest respect and mutual love, wanting nothing but happiness for each other we have decided to part ways.

“We would like to appeal for privacy, for our children and for each other as well.”
