WIRE — Content creator and comedienne Jelai Andres opened up about finding peace after the end of her marriage to ex-husband Jon Gutierrez a.k.a. King Badger. On July 20 episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, host Boy Abunda asked Jelai if she had already forgiven Jon and herself. Jelai said, Nagpatawad ako kasi kailangan." She admitted that although she had previously claimed in interviews that she had already forgiven her former husband, she later realized "hindi pala." Jelai shared that her healing journey included attending Christian and Catholic seminars, where she reflected on her past and prayed for forgiveness. Kailangan patawarin ko sarili ko. Nag-repent ako. Tito Boy, uma-attend ako ng mga seminar pang Christians and Catholics, she recalled. Dun ko ni-repent na patawarin Mo ako Lord kasi ginanto ko 'yung sarili ko. According to Jelai, she knew she had truly moved on when the anger and pain she once carried disappeared. Doon ko naramdaman na nakapagpatawad na kasi hindi na 'ko galit, Tito Boy, nawala na lang siya bigla. Nawala na 'yung galit, 'yung pain. Tanggap ko na. Na-accept ko na na ito 'yung nangyari. Okay na. Buti na lang naghiwalay kami," she said. Related gallery: Jelai Andres, napatawad na si King Badger 'kasi kailangan.' Jelai also revealed that she was unhappy during her marriage but has since found happiness living on her own. She described the approval of the annulment of their marriage as the beginning of a new chapter in her life. Parang second life ko na po 'to, Tito Boy. Kasi napagdaanan ko na po 'yung depression, 'yung anxiety, she said, becoming emotional during the interview. She also expressed hope that no young woman would have to experience what she went through. Kasi sobrang hirap, baka hindi niya kayanin, Tito Boy, Jelai said. Alam mo 'yung parang buhay ka pero namatay ka na ulit. Ganun po kahirap. Yung pure na pure ka, tapos parang lahat ng bumabalik, hindi mo deserve. Jelai recalled that the annulment process lasted five years and cost her about PhP1 million. While the legal proceedings were ongoing, she and Jon remained civil but were no longer friends. Hindi kami magkaaway kasi hindi kami nag-aaway. Hindi rin kami bati, Tito Boy, she said. Hindi na 'ko galit. She also cited Jon's alleged repeated infidelity as one of the main reasons their marriage came to an end. Earlier this month, Jelai announced through her YouTube vlog that their annulment had officially been granted after years of waiting. Masaya ako kasi, finally, nawala na sa mundo 'yung kasal, she said in the vlog. 'Yung annulment, kasama sa prayers ko. Jelai and Jon began dating in 2015 and tied the knot in 2018.
