Raymart Santiago admits that it’s difficult for his children with Claudine Barretto. Growing up with separated parents has no doubt had an effect on Raymart and Claudine’s children. The two celebs have been separated since 2013.
The 38-year-old actress admitted that their marriage ended because it started off on the wrong foot. The “Etiquette for Mistresses” was in a long-term relationship with the late Rico Yan. Unfortunately, Rico passed away because of cardiac arrest caused by acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis on March 29, 2002.
“I was so sad. I was heartbroken. Namatayan ako tapos there was somebody who was there na parang knight in shining armor. Parang I played safe.” Claudine admitted in an interview on “Kris TV.”
Despite being separated, Raymart and Claudine are doing the best they can for their two children, Santino and Sabina. In fact, they even halted their annulment plans for the sake of their two offspring.
“Hindi pa single at hindi pa rin kami nag-start sa annulment. So stop muna kami sa annulment,” the actress said.
“Napagusapan muna namin na i-stop muna lahat-lahat ng mga kaso and mag co-parenting na lang kami sa pagpapalaki sa mga anak namin.”
Raymart Santiago also opened up about his relationship with his two kids, both of whom are staying with Claudine. Fortunately, Claudine lets Raymart come and visit Santino and Sabina often. He says he hopes that his kids grow up well-adjusted even though they have an “unconventional family setup.”
“Very close ako sa mga anak ko dati. Yun lang, the sad thing is nadadamay talaga yung mga bata pag naghihiwalay ang parents,” the 44-year-old Kapuso star said.
When asked by Philippine Entertainment Portal how he handles his kidsgrowing up, he was honest in saying: “Hindi ko alam gagawin ko kung papaano… Hindi ko alam talaga kung papaano. Hopefully, maging okey sila paglaki.”
Despite being clueless about his children’s upbringing, Raymart Santiago is sure of one thing – he wants to celebrate the holidays with his beloved children.
“Last year kasama ko yung mga anak ko din. So, hopefully this year, ganun pa din.”
