In a shocking turn of events that has gripped both fans and media alike, former athlete and celebrity husband Gerald Sibayan reportedly collapsed due to extreme stress after his rumored green card — allegedly granted through his marriage to veteran comedienne Aiai Delas Alas — was revoked.

According to close sources and entertainment insiders, the 30-year-old Gerald, who had been building a quiet life in the United States with Aiai, suddenly found himself in emotional and legal turmoil. The tension reportedly culminated in a physical breakdown just days after the green card issue surfaced, with Sibayan allegedly rushed to a medical facility due to exhaustion and mental stress.

A Marriage Under Scrutiny

Gerald Sibayan and Aiai Delas Alas, whose significant age gap had long been a topic of public discussion, tied the knot in 2017. While the relationship was often questioned by critics, the couple had continuously defended their love, posting romantic updates and traveling together frequently. In recent months, however, rumors began to swirl that cracks were forming behind their picture-perfect social media posts.

The core of the current controversy lies in reports that Aiai may have initiated a petition to revoke the spousal support for Gerald’s green card, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Although no official statement has been released by either party or their legal representatives, entertainment insiders claim that the action may have been driven by a recent fallout in the relationship.

Health Scare Amid Immigration Troubles

Sources close to Sibayan said that the stress of potentially being deported, combined with the emotional strain of his failing marriage, proved too much for the former national badminton player. He was reportedly found unconscious in his apartment by a friend and taken to a nearby clinic, where he was treated for stress-induced fatigue and dehydration.

“He’s not doing well emotionally,” a friend who wished to remain anonymous told a local tabloid. “All of this — the relationship drama, the immigration pressure, the media attention — it’s too much for anyone, especially someone like Gerald who’s always tried to keep a low profile.”

Medical professionals who treated Gerald confirmed that while his condition has stabilized, he has been advised to take a complete break from public life and seek counseling for emotional recovery.

Silence from Aiai

As of this writing, Aiai Delas Alas has yet to comment publicly on the situation. Known for her strong personality and unfiltered opinions, Aiai’s silence has only fueled further speculation. Some netizens believe that she may soon issue a tell-all interview, while others argue that her silence suggests legal action may be in the works.

It’s worth noting that Aiai has been active on her social media accounts, posting cryptic quotes about “self-respect” and “letting go of toxic people,” which many interpret as indirect jabs at her husband.

Immigration Implications

If Gerald’s green card was indeed tied to his marriage with Aiai and if it is revoked, he may face deportation proceedings, depending on his current legal status. U.S. immigration law is complex, and if the marriage is found to have dissolved or to have been “entered in bad faith,” it can seriously affect a non-citizen spouse’s residency.

Immigration lawyer Ana Carreon explained, “If the petitioning spouse withdraws support and the marriage ends before the green card becomes unconditional, it opens the door for review and possible revocation, unless the immigrant can prove the marriage was entered in good faith.”

Public Reaction

Filipino netizens have taken to social media to express their mixed feelings about the controversy. Some sympathize with Gerald, describing the collapse as a tragic outcome of emotional abuse and manipulation. Others side with Aiai, citing long-standing rumors that Gerald may have taken advantage of her generosity and fame.

Regardless of public opinion, the unfolding drama between Gerald Sibayan and Aiai Delas Alas is a reminder of how personal relationships, when lived under the microscope of celebrity life, can turn volatile — and in this case, have severe emotional and legal consequences.

As fans await updates, one thing remains clear: the love story that once captured hearts has now become a cautionary tale of fame, marriage, and immigration gone wrong.

Ai-Ai delas Alas disclosed that the petition she filed for her estranged husband, Gerald Sibayan, to obtain a green card and be a permanent resident of the United States has been revoked.

The comedian, as per Philippine Entertainment Portal, filed the revocation of her petition to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), citing their separation and Sibayan’s alleged third party. The agency approved her request.

Delas Alas also appealed to the agency to revoke any issued work and travel permits to Sibayan. The actress’ lawyer stated as well that the pair’s divorce is already being processed.

Through her Facebook page on Sunday, March 30, Delas Alas affirmed the reports as she expressed her gratitude for the support she has been receiving.

“May mga nagtatanong pa din kung totoo ito. Opo, totoo ito,” she said, referring to the reports. “Salamat sa mga sumuporta.”

“Through the darkest moments, when I felt abandoned and alone, God has been my constant source of strength and comfort. His grace has helped me cope with the pain, giving me the courage to keep going, one day at a time,” she continued.

Delas Alas also thanked her “good son” as well as her friends for constantly being by her side. “God bless you all.”

Sibayan has yet to comment on the matter as of this writing.

Delas Alas earlier said that she regards her marriage to Sibayan, with whom she has a 30-year age gap, as a “wrong decision.” She also admitted that she wanted to show back then that age does not matter, although she said it was later proven otherwise in her case.
