Ruffa Gutierrez (NPPA Images)"God is good!"Ruffa Gutierrez briefly shared her feelings about the annulment of her marriage to Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas with viewers of her weekly showbiz-oriented show, “Paparazzi: Showbiz Exposed.”
She also told viewers on Saturday, February 25, that it's an emotional time for her because the petition for the annulment was long overdue. She also couldn't contain her emotions when she saw the video of her and Yilmaz before she was interviewed by her “Paparazzi” colleagues.
Ruffa only has good words for Yilmaz. She said on "Paparazzi" that she has known him for more than 10 years and wishes him all the luck.
"Sana from this day forward we can grow, maging magkaibigan na lang kami and at peace in our hearts for our kids," she expressed.
Ruffa added that she already left her past behind.
"I want to remember Yilmaz for all the good things and kung bakit ako na-in love sa kanya in the first place, kung bakit kami may dalawang anak. I have let go, even if I am emotional sometimes about it is just because may pinagsamahan kami at naging asawa ko siya."
She had mixed reactions when she got the annulment papers.
"With me I couldn't read the resolutions. I had to wait talaga until I was on the plane till nabasa ko talaga ang resolution. Parang flashback of the things na nangyari. You know i can say that it was a bitter sweet journey," she shared.
Ruffa and Yilmaz have been apart for almost five years since they jointly announced their separation last May 8, 2007. The statement cited cultural differences–not “abuse”–which Ruffa openly talked about, as one of the reasons for the separation.
Ruffa has sole custody of the children, Lorin and Venice.
