It seems that Priscilla Meirelles doesn't plan on holding back when it comes to her relationship woes.
She knows just how to shock the Internet with her one-liner comments on social media. In a recent Facebook live today, July 15, 2024, Priscilla reacted to a fan asking her about her relationship with her husband, Batang Quiapo actor, John Estrada.
The Facebook user commented, "May new na naman ba si John [Estrada] napakaganda mo naman para maghanap pa ng iba." Priscilla read it out loud and shared a very candid response. She said, "Ay ano ba 'to. [laughs] Ay naku po, ganon talaga 'yung buhay. Eh wala naman eh..."
She also had comments on Instagram that were enough to stir controversy regarding her marriage. It all started when the actor posted his solo snaps while enjoying a vacation in Boracay. John wrote a simple caption stating, "What an awesome place." Then came a fan who jokingly asked John about his companion to Boracay. The question was clearly a reference to John's character in Batang Quiapo, Rigor.
The question read, "Sino kasama mo Rigor? Si Lena or si Maritess?" ICDYK, John's character in the mentioned teleserye isn't exactly...the most faithful, to say the least. To put it bluntly, Rigor cheated on Maritess with Lena.
Priscilla beat John into responding to the fan. She replied dropping an account, "Si @ Lily Hallman_ [laughing emoji]" One comment from Priscilla and it was enough for the Internet to speculate that the owner of the mentioned account is allegedly the new partner of John.
Priscilla's second comment further intensified the allegations, and supported her first comment, too! She was about to have a field day in John's comments section until John turned off the comments on his post. But before that, Priscilla was able to put out a somewhat sarcastic comment that read, "Looking very divorced Mr. Estrada @Lily Hallman_"
Almost at the same time as the comments, Priscilla also posted a cryptic post, seemingly alluding to her current situation with her husband. She shared an Instagram Reel on her Instagram Stories. The Reel's text reads, "When you are trying to move on but everything reminds you of him."
While John was having his own amazing time in Boracay, Priscilla has been traveling around the USA. She's currently in Brazil with her daughter with John, Anechka Estrada.

Priscilla and John tied the knot in 2011. Throughout the years, Priscilla took chances to spill some beans regarding her marriage with John. Although the beauty queen has never denied nor confirmed that there was a brewing separation between her and the actor, she's been pretty clear that she's someone who knows her worth.
Earlier in 2024, Priscilla opened up about her relationship in an interview with Boy Abunda. Priscilla strongly declared that there's only so much that a woman can take in a relationship. She divulged that she has reached the tipping point when it comes to handling their marriage woes.
"We're married pa rin...but I'm not gonna take it—anything of what I already [put] up [with]—up to this point. So, alam niyang nasa limit na ako. So, whatever [happens] from this point on, it's all on him. I've done my part," she declared during the talk show.
Without going into the specifics of their situation, she reflected on how she reached the edge, and how she learned how to prioritize her peace of mind.
"Darating ako sa panahon na lahat ng tao may limit, sa limit ko. So kailangan ko na sabihin sa kabilang side na tama na. And dumating 'yung panahon na 'yan. So 'yung nangyari naman, pwede kong ma-share na at the end of the day, 'yung pinakaimportanteng bagay sa buhay natin, peace of mind," she narrated.
Their marital problems became visible to the public when Priscilla began posting cryptic messages that led to speculations that John had cheated on her in 2023. In June 2023, though, the couple appeared to have sorted out their problems because Priscilla even threw a grand birthday party for John.
