Ai-Ai delas Alas and Her Husband Gerald Sibayan Have Split
AI-AI DELAS ALAS – The comedian and actress has confirmed her separation from her husband, Gerald Sibayan, after nearly ten years together.
The couple, who married on December 12, 2017, at Christ the King Parish Church in Quezon City, had a significant age difference but were seen as happy and committed. However, recent rumors suggested a split, which Ai-Ai will address in an upcoming interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, set for November 11, 2024, her birthday.
Sources close to the couple, along with Boy Abunda himself, confirmed the separation. This interview will be Ai-Ai’s first opportunity to speak publicly about the end of her marriage, clarifying any questions her fans may have.
Signs of tension between Ai-Ai and Gerald surfaced in a previous interview on My Mother, My Story, a limited talk series with Boy Abunda that aired on October 27, 2024. Viewers noticed that Ai-Ai did not mention Gerald during the discussion, which sparked questions. When asked about her fears, Ai-Ai replied, “being alone,” hinting at a personal struggle. Her words, along with a heartfelt apology to herself for enduring pain in her life, stirred even more curiosity among her supporters. “Actually, yung totoo, yung mag-isa. Pero I think kapag dumating yun time na yon, kaya ko naman… kaya ko naman,” she said.
During the interview, Ai-Ai opened up about feeling regret for “Eileen”—her real name—expressing an apology to herself for tolerating emotional and physical hurt from others, despite being loving and loyal. She expressed a promise not to let this happen again, showing her strength and resolve to move on.
Ai-Ai’s interview on her birthday is expected to reveal more about the reasons for the separation and provide her an opportunity to share her perspective on this difficult decision.
