In a shocking revelation that has taken the entertainment industry by storm, Regine Velasquez has publicly admitted to having been involved in an affair. The admission, which was made in an emotional social media post, has sent shockwaves across the Philippine showbiz world, particularly when it was revealed that the affair led to the breakup of her close friends Ogie Alcasid and Michelle Van Eimeren.

The Unexpected Confession

Known for her iconic status as the “Songbird” and her generally private personal life, Regine’s confession has left both her fans and the public in complete disbelief. The singer, who has been married to Ogie Alcasid for several years, bravely acknowledged her past mistakes, revealing that she had been involved with another man while still in a relationship with her husband.

“I deeply regret my actions, and I have to be honest with everyone. There was a time when I made a wrong choice, and I caused a lot of hurt to the people I love. I am not proud of it, and I carry the weight of my actions every day,” Regine shared in her emotional post.

The singer’s bravery in admitting her affair has been met with a mixture of sympathy and shock, with many of her followers expressing disbelief over the unexpected confession.

The Fallout: Ogie and Michelle’s Heartbreaking Breakup

What shocked the public even more was the revelation that Regine’s affair had a profound impact on her friendship with Michelle Van Eimeren, the former wife of Ogie Alcasid. According to reports, Michelle and Ogie’s relationship had already been strained due to personal differences, but it was Regine’s involvement with Ogie that ultimately led to their separation.

The affair between Regine and Ogie began during their time as co-workers in the entertainment industry, and it is said to have caused considerable emotional turmoil for Michelle, who was still in the process of moving on from her marriage. The breakup has shocked not only those close to the couple but also their vast fan base, many of whom had admired Ogie and Michelle’s amicable relationship.

“I never imagined that something like this would happen. Ogie and Michelle were one of the most stable couples in showbiz. To hear that Regine was part of their separation is heartbreaking,” one fan commented.

A Shocking Revelation for Netizens

Regine’s admission took everyone by surprise, as it is rare for celebrities of her caliber to openly discuss such intimate and controversial aspects of their personal lives. While the affair took place some time ago, the singer’s decision to speak up now has sparked an outpouring of support and sympathy from her fans, as well as widespread condemnation from some sections of the public.

“It takes a lot of courage to admit your wrongdoings, and I admire Regine for coming forward,” said one of Regine’s followers. “But this is still very shocking, especially knowing how close she was to Ogie and Michelle.”

On the other hand, many netizens expressed their disappointment and betrayal, claiming that the affair tarnished Regine’s once impeccable public image.

“Regine has always been someone we looked up to, but now, everything feels tainted. How could she do this to Ogie and Michelle?” one user tweeted.

Ogie and Michelle’s Reaction

As of now, Ogie Alcasid and Michelle Van Eimeren have remained silent about Regine’s confession. However, sources close to the former couple suggest that the revelation has only deepened the wounds caused by their separation. While they have both moved on with their lives, the heartbreak of their split, especially the role Regine played in it, is said to have left lasting emotional scars.

“It’s a difficult situation, and it’s going to take time for both Ogie and Michelle to process everything. This is not just a betrayal between friends; it’s a betrayal of a family,” said a source close to the situation.

Despite the emotional aftermath, Ogie and Michelle have both remained professional in the public eye, focusing on their respective careers and maintaining a semblance of normalcy. However, it is clear that Regine’s affair will continue to linger in the background of their personal lives.

Regine’s Apology and Reflection

Following her candid post, Regine offered an apology to both Ogie and Michelle, expressing deep regret for the pain she caused them. She stated that she had learned valuable lessons from her mistakes and was committed to healing the broken relationships in her life.

“I can’t undo what I’ve done, but I can work on making things right and being a better person,” Regine said. “I hope to gain back the trust I’ve lost over time. To Ogie and Michelle, I am truly sorry.”

In the wake of the controversy, Regine’s fans have remained supportive, with many encouraging her to take responsibility for her actions and move forward.

A Lesson in Redemption

Regine’s shocking admission serves as a reminder that even the most beloved celebrities are not immune to making mistakes. It also highlights the importance of accountability and honesty, especially when dealing with complicated personal relationships.

While the affair between Regine, Ogie, and Michelle has undoubtedly caused pain and heartbreak, it is clear that Regine’s journey to redemption will involve not only rebuilding her relationships but also facing the consequences of her actions with humility and grace.

Regine on being the ‘third party’ in Ogie and Michelle’s breakup: I didn’t mean to…if I could just take it back
Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez broke down in tears while talking about being the “third party” in the breakup of former couple Ogie Alcasid and Michelle van Eimeren.

The singer-actress and TV host couldn’t help but get emotional when talking about the ordeal she went through when she decided to love and be in a relationship with Ogie a few years ago.

On this morning’s episode of “Magandang Buhay,” Songbird opened up about how she faced and coped with being the “third party” in the breakup of Ogie and his ex-wife Michelle.

Regine mentioned that even though she knew she didn’t want what happened to her and Ogie, she also felt remorse because she knew they hurt someone. My husband and I started that way, but that’s just because, we were good friends. I didn’t mean to. Because that could really happen, eh.

“You don’t choose the people you love, eh. Like, do I want to do that on purpose, do I want someone to get hurt? There are smart people who don’t think that’s what they’re thinking. It’s just that, sometimes it happens,” Regine began her story.

She continued, “There’s something I don’t know about what was going on in their marriage at that time. I don’t know because I wasn’t involved in it.

“But it happened. But I just have to say, it was so difficult. And if I can bring back the time?

“I love my husband, but if I could bring back the time, I would probably prefer that none of us were hurt. That there weren’t two children who suffered because we wanted to be together,” Songbird added.

The children Regine was referring to were Ogie and Michelle’s two children, Leila and Sarah.

Regine also admitted that even though Michelle forgave her and they made up, she still feels guilty about what happened.

“For a while, I have to say, I had to live with that guilt. Like I was living in that guilt and my husband would say, ‘It was not about you. It was about me and Michelle.’

“But even then, I was there. I was part of it. I was the ‘third party.’ And for a time, Michelle forgave me, people forgave me, except me. I wasn’t forgiving myself. And I’m still working on it,” the singer said.

After that, the singer-actress started to get emotional, “I kept crying…you know, every now and then, I would remember what happened to us and I’d still be guilty. So it’s also hard to be in that situation where you didn’t mean to love someone.

“And I’m a decent person and I do not want to hurt anyone. That’s the last thing that I would want in my life. But it happens,” she shared.

“I think I’d already forgiven myself, because I’m not so guilty anymore. But once in a while I would remember, or when something happens to the two girls.

“But I just think, that’s not the situation anymore, eh. I’m his wife. I’m not outside anymore, I’m his family now. So I’m trying to accept myself there.

“But again, it’s very difficult because the kind of person that I am… I remember things. I don’t like anyone… because I’m very sensitive, that I’m the one who hurts, rather than hurting you,” Regine shared.

He also gave advice to those who are not expected to be the third party in a relationship, “For those who are the third party, of course we know what’s right and what’s wrong.

“But sometimes, when you’re in that situation, you choose not to look at the wrong. Just choose what’s in your heart. And it’s very difficult to decide not to be in that situation anymore because you’re happy there, eh.

“But you need to give importance to yourself. You need to love yourself. You always have to choose yourself. Think that you’re choosing yourself, that’s why you’re in that situation. But actually no, you’re not choosing yourself when you’re in that situation. Before you really make yourself involved with this person, first think about yourself if you can stand it. Because it’s really very, very difficult to be in that situation,” Ogie’s wifey chika pa.

Regine and Ogie have been married for over a decade and are blessed with a son, Nate, who is now 10 years old.

Michelle is also happily married to her husband Mark Morrow. They got married in Australia in 2009.
