Ruffa Gutierrez (NPPA Images)Kapatid television host-actress Ruffa Gutierrez is now single.
Her marriage to Yilmaz Bektas has been annulled by the Taguig Regional Trial Court.
“The petition for the declaration of the nullity of marriage which we filed on behalf of our client, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, against her husband, Yilmaz Bektas, has finally been granted by the Regional Trial Court of Taguig City, declaring the same to be null and void under Article 36 of the Family Code last January 17, 2011,” Ruffa’s legal counsel Howard Calleja and Connie Aquino of the Calleja Law Office said in a statement.
The custody of the un-couple’s two daughters, Lorin Gabriella and Venezia Loran, was awarded to Ruffa.
Ruffa and Yilmaz got married in 2003. In 2007, the host of TV5’s “Paparazzi: Showbiz Exposes” admitted she and the Turkish businessman separated.
In an earlier interview with Yahoo! Philippines OMG, Ruffa said she wants to prioritize her family and work over romantic relationships. Ruffa added that she is currently “the full provider (for) Lorin and Venice and I make the decisions for them.”
