After years of silence, actress Sunshine Cruz has finally opened up about the real reason behind her controversial separation from actor Cesar Montano, a breakup that once rocked Philippine showbiz and left the public speculating for years.

In a recent interview that stunned fans, Sunshine bravely spoke about the emotional toll she endured in her marriage and why she ultimately made the painful decision to walk away. “I kept quiet for a long time because I didn’t want to ruin anyone’s image, especially for the sake of my children,” she said. “But I believe it’s time to speak my truth.”

Sunshine disclosed that what looked like a glamorous marriage from the outside was, in reality, filled with heartbreak, betrayal, and emotional turmoil. Without going into graphic detail, she hinted at repeated betrayals of trust, controlling behavior, and a deep emotional void that ultimately led to the breakdown of their relationship.

“There were days I would cry alone. I tried to hold on, for the sake of family. But in the end, I realized that I needed to choose myself — for my daughters,” Sunshine admitted.

Their split, which became official in 2013 after a highly publicized legal battle, left fans divided. Many admired Sunshine for standing her ground, while others remained curious about the real story — a story she chose to keep to herself until now.

She revealed that the process of moving on was excruciating but empowering, as it allowed her to rediscover her strength as a woman and as a mother. Today, she beams with pride over her three daughters, whom she raised on her own, and embraces a new chapter in her life with dignity.

Meanwhile, Cesar Montano has remained relatively mum on Sunshine’s latest revelations, but netizens are already reacting with mixed emotions — some offering sympathy to Sunshine, while others demand accountability from the former action star.

“She deserves peace. I’m glad she finally spoke her truth,” one fan commented online.

Sunshine Cruz’s honesty has sparked conversations about the silent struggles many women face behind closed doors, especially in high-profile relationships. As her story continues to trend, fans are applauding her courage and resilience in choosing truth over silence — and self-respect over suffering.

‘Why is someone congratulating me?’ Sunshine Cruz, denies fake news, says she is pregnant with Cesar Montano
If a netizen recently intrigued her about actor-dancer Rayver Cruz, her cousin, hugging her, actress Sunshine Cruz has now fallen victim to fake news, after allegedly telling a showbiz vlog that she is pregnant, and the alleged father is estranged husband Cesar Montano.

According to her latest Facebook post this Monday, October 24, she said she was surprised why some friends and fans were congratulating her.

“FAKE NEWS! I’ve been sent a few videos about this fake news spreading and I’m surprised that there are people wishing and congratulating me.😂🤭.”

Out of respect for her ex-husband’s current partner, she clarified that there is no longer anything between her and Buboy.

“Since there is still some truth to it and out of respect for Cesar’s partner and new family, I would like to say that there is no truth to the fact that I am pregnant and will marry my ex-husband.”
