Jean Garcia Reveals She’s Been Single for Over a Decade
JEAN GARCIA – Despite being single for more than a decade, Jean Garcia says she’s content and embracing life on her own terms.
Veteran actress Jean Garcia has been single by choice for over 11 years, and she’s made peace with it. In a recent appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on April 30, Jean shared her thoughts on being single, revealing that she has found happiness and fulfillment in this phase of her life.
Jean admitted that while many might view being single as a sad or undesirable state, she has come to appreciate it. “Parang iniisip ko na lang sa sarili ko na mag-aalaga na lang ako ng mga apo ko, ng mga anak ko. Kung hindi ko rin lang mahahanap ‘yung talagang para sa akin, or baka napalampas ko na kasi, Kuya Boy. Kaya ginawa na lang ng Panginoon na makuntento ka na lang na mag-isa,” she shared, expressing a sense of acceptance about her situation.
The actress emphasized that she no longer spends time searching for love, noting that her family and the support of her fans are enough for her. Beyond that, she revealed that her secret to happiness lies in not taking life too seriously. “Because I don’t take life too seriously. ‘Yung sa akin kasi, bakit mo i-i-stress-in ang sarili mo? Kapag may problema, solusyunan mo unti-unti. Matatapos din ‘yan, ‘This too, shall pass.’ sabi nga nila. Palagi lang happy, kuntento. Contentment siguro,” Jean explained, showcasing her positive and grounded approach to life.
Adding wisdom to her perspective, Boy Abunda commented, “’Pag ang problema walang solusyon, it’s not a problem.”
In a light-hearted moment, Boy asked Jean what she knows about men, given her long time of being single. Laughing, Jean playfully responded, “Mali ka yata ng tinanong, Kuya Boy, baka mawalan ako ng male viewers.” However, she went on to clarify that men, when serious, are generally kind and honest. According to Jean, any problems that arise in relationships are a matter of choice—not the woman’s fault. “Choice nila ‘yun. Magloko sila, magseryoso sila, choice nila ‘yun, hindi ‘yun kasalanan ng babae,” she said, acknowledging that how one reacts is also a personal choice.
Jean’s candid reflections on her single life show that contentment and peace can be found in embracing one’s own journey, regardless of romantic status.
