Bea Alonzo opened up anew about her separation from her former fiance, Dominic Roque, revealing that it was a mutual decision and they tried to make things work but realized they “didn’t want to get married anymore.”

In an interview with Tatler Asia, the Kapuso actress revealed that she and Roque broke off their engagement in January although they confirmed it only in mid-February, adding that the separation did not happen “overnight.”

“I saw myself marrying this man. But sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. Sometimes God’s plan is better, and I have learned to embrace that,” she said.

“Before we announced it, we had been trying to work things out for months. It’s not like it happened overnight; it was a process for both of us,” continued the actress, adding that it’s fine if some relationships fail.

The 36-year-old actress remarked that she is grateful to Roque for “acknowledging” that their relationship was no longer working out.

“I guess I also have to thank him because, had he not been courageous enough actually to acknowledge that there was something wrong in our relationship, I may have continued to be carried away by the pressures of society,” she expressed.

Alonzo affirmed that no one is to blame for the failure of their relationship as there was no third party involved. However, it affected her because she got condemned just because she’s a woman.

“Even when there’s no cheating involved and the relationship does not work, women still get criticism,” she said. “The two people in the relationship are the only ones who know the truth. In my case with Dom, we didn’t want to get married anymore.”

The “Widows War” actress underscored that the false information regarding their separation also took a toll on her mental health, forcing her to do a social media detox at the time.

In June, Alonzo revealed in her interview with “24 Oras” that she did not initiate the breakup with Roque.

The two got engaged in July 2023 and confirmed their separation in February of this year through a joint statement on Instagram after almost four years of dating.
