The hearts of fans everywhere skipped a beat when Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez, one of the most beloved couples in the Philippine entertainment industry, revealed the truth behind their reconciliation. After months of speculation and rumors about the status of their relationship, the couple finally shared the full details of how they found their way back to each other — a journey that’s nothing short of a fairy tale.

In an exclusive interview with a popular entertainment show, Carla and Tom candidly discussed the difficult times they faced, the struggles that led to their separation, and the emotional journey that ultimately brought them back together.

The Separation That Shook Everyone

The couple’s relationship had long been admired by fans, especially for their apparent chemistry and commitment to one another. But in a shocking turn of events, they announced their separation, leaving the public wondering what went wrong. Speculation ran rampant as rumors of infidelity, misunderstandings, and personal challenges filled the headlines. Fans were devastated, unable to understand how such a strong and seemingly perfect relationship could fall apart.

In their interview, Carla and Tom didn’t shy away from addressing the painful truth. “It wasn’t easy,” Carla confessed, her voice trembling slightly. “We had our share of misunderstandings, but we knew deep down that we still loved each other. It just took some time for us to figure things out.”

Tom added, “We’re both very private people, and the pressure of being in the public eye added to the stress. But through it all, we never lost respect for each other.”

A Heartfelt Journey of Self-Discovery

What truly set their reconciliation apart was the growth they both experienced during their time apart. Rather than rushing to get back together, they each took time to reflect on themselves and the relationship they had built. Tom and Carla spoke about the importance of healing individually before reuniting as a couple.

“We had to learn to love ourselves again,” Tom explained. “In the process, we realized that our love for each other never truly went away. It was always there, we just needed to find a way back to it.”

Carla echoed his sentiments, sharing, “Sometimes, we’re so focused on the relationship that we forget to focus on ourselves. During our time apart, we both grew in ways we never thought possible. That’s when we realized we weren’t just partners, but also individuals who needed to nurture our own happiness.”

The Moment of Reconciliation

The pivotal moment in their journey came when they both found the courage to have a deep, honest conversation about their feelings. “It was a very raw moment,” Carla admitted. “We were both vulnerable, and we spoke from the heart. It wasn’t about what went wrong in the past, but about what we wanted for the future.”

Tom, looking at Carla with affection, added, “I think we both knew, in that moment, that we were ready to move forward. It wasn’t about erasing the past, but about making a new beginning.”

After that conversation, they took things slow, allowing the trust and love to rebuild. The couple emphasized that their reconciliation wasn’t about just picking up where they left off, but about creating something even stronger.

Their Love is Stronger Than Ever

Now, with their relationship stronger than ever, Carla and Tom have a renewed sense of commitment and appreciation for each other. They’re more in love than ever, and they are excited to continue this new chapter of their journey together.

“We’ve learned to communicate better, to understand each other’s needs,” Tom said, his eyes locking with Carla’s. “Our love is now more solid, more grounded.”

Carla added, “We’re both happier, not just as a couple but also as individuals. That’s what makes our relationship even stronger.”

A Message of Hope for Others

As their story continues to inspire millions of fans, Carla and Tom shared a final message of hope and resilience. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned from all of this,” Carla said, “it’s that love isn’t perfect. There are challenges, but if you’re willing to fight for it, anything is possible.”

Tom concluded, “No matter what happens, as long as you have love and respect for each other, there’s always a way back. We’re living proof of that.”

Carla Abellana breaks silence on split with Tom Rodriguez
Carla Abellana: “I fought for her for over 7 years.”
For the first time, Carla Abellana has spoken out about her split from husband Tom Rodriguez.

On her YouTube account, Carla responded to netizens who questioned her about why she liked Ai-Ai delas Alas’ “cheating” post on Instagram yesterday, June 15.

A netizen criticized Carla for allegedly deleting her comment on the actress’s YouTube vlog yesterday.

The netizen said: “And my comment was removed hahaha. Why? You’re afraid of being read as a hypocrite. Don’t be so harsh because you’re not nice [angry emoji]”

Carla responded: “I just don’t want negativity.”

Another netizen chimed in.

This came back to Carla: “You don’t want negativity, I hope you didn’t like the negative comments on Tom, I hope you didn’t post on IGS asking for help when you had a problem?

“I hope you talked, not that you didn’t talk and now there’s news that you’re handling an annulment.

“Tom admits he made a mistake but I don’t think it’s right that you put up with him not talking.

“I hope you let him explain, that’s why a lot of people got involved, like when one of your bffs posted on IGS about being a narcissist, then Tom had fans saying you’re a narcissist.

“I hope you at least talk to your husband properly, that’s why Tom posted because he’s tired of waiting for you to talk to him.

“You won’t have peace of mind if you don’t talk as a couple.

“If you want to be happy when you and your husband talk, tell him all the things you’re upset about, not the things you’re mad at.”CARLA FINALLY SPEAKS UP
This is where Carla seemed to explode, so she explained herself and released the anger she had been harboring in her heart for a long time.

Carla began, “Yes, I liked you, but that’s all I did. I didn’t do it again.

“I liked you, but I didn’t do it repeatedly and for a long time.

“A person who is deeply hurt is hard to stop from venting their anger in any way.”

She meaningfully added: “I was disrespected. I was betrayed. I was lied to. I was used. I was shamed. I was made to look so stupid.

“If only it were that long, I could get up someday.”

What angered Carla the most was the sympathy she felt for her family in their marital issues.

She said, “But to do more evil and betrayal to me and my family in the days, weeks and months that followed, the pain and the crushing of my heart and character was too much.”

Carla also insisted that she did not do anything bad to Tom, but rather she did everything for her husband.

The actress said: “I gave Tom nothing but true love, respect, care, nurturing, understanding, patience, endless forgiveness, endless patience, belief, trust, caring, protection, everything.”

DID TOM PHYSICALLY HURT CARLA?

In Carla’s next statement, she indicated that there were times when Tom “hurt” her.

The actress said: “I gave my whole life to him. For 7 years, I was not allowed to be angry, sullen, hurt, disappointed, sad, or disappointed because it was not allowed.

“I would feel it even if I tried to explain to him that he was hurting me and that what he was doing was wrong.

“I kept reminding him that I was not his enemy and that my intentions and intentions were good.

“I have been storing all of that inside me for 7 years. Whether I wanted to or needed to let it out, it was absolutely terrifying.”

She said she advised Tom to see a specialist to treat his unspecified condition. But her husband did not do so.

Despite this, she still married Tom and accepted him wholeheartedly.

She said, “I encouraged him several times to get checked out, get treatment, and get better because that is what worked for me. But nothing happened.

“I still accepted him without any doubt even though there was no change. I faced him at the altar. I am wholeheartedly determined to cherish our marriage and love, and uphold the vows we made before God.”

Carla added, “With all the things I gave to Tom, I have nothing left.

“My anger, pride, and ego took it from me, and I let him take it too. I fought him for over 7 years.

“Even though those few comments are nothing compared to what he did to me and all of us, and everything else he did and is doing.”

Even though Tom caused her a lot of resentment, she said she never thought of retaliating.

“With the intensity of the pain, the insults, the deception, the crushing, the destruction, the use, and the betrayal, the things he hid, it was very easy to get back at him in the form of revenge.

“But I’m not like that. I’m not stupid. I won’t fight back even if I’m trampled on. I’m not shallow.

“I’m not a bad person. What you see, hear and read online is just a fraction of what you don’t see, hear and read when there’s no camera recording.”

Carla also insisted that she is not the villain in the story of her husband and daughter, who separated after just three months of marriage.

She said, “When the door to our house is closed and no one else sees.

“I am not a bad person like you say, feel, hear and see online, on TV, etc…

“My mother and grandmother raised me to respect, understand, love, forgive, be grateful, be humble, and above all, fear God.” Carla did not respond to any other comments.

THE BREAKUP
Carla and Tom have been in the news for months due to their sudden separation in January 2022, just three months since they got married in October 2021.

The two’s separation was rooted in Tom’s alleged infidelity.

This is according to Carla’s father, Rey “PJ” Abellana, where Tom himself told the story of how he tempted her once and got into a one-night stand situation. According to Rey, Carla could not accept this so she divorced her husband.

The latest news is that Carla is reportedly preparing papers for the annulment of marriage which she can file with the court to have her marriage to Tom annulled.

But Tom is said to be unable to speak about his side of the story due to the gag order that Carla’s camp requested from the court.
