Gerald Sibayan Breaks Down After Ai-Ai Delas Alas Revokes Green Card Petition: Emotional Fallout Rocks Showbiz World

Manila, Philippines – The entertainment world was rocked by an emotional and controversial revelation this week as sources close to the family confirmed that Gerald Sibayan, former husband of Comedy Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas, is currently grappling with the effects of extreme stress after Ai-Ai officially withdrew her sponsorship for his U.S. Green Card. The shocking move may reportedly lead to Gerald’s removal from the United States, igniting a firestorm of speculation about what truly went wrong between the once-admired couple.

Reports indicate that Gerald recently collapsed in a Makati office due to what witnesses described as “emotional and mental overload.” He was rushed to a private hospital for further evaluation, sparking public concern over his condition and well-being.

While netizens have long suspected cracks in their relationship, especially after the couple ceased posting affectionate photos online, no one foresaw the extent of the rift. A family friend—who asked to remain anonymous—disclosed that Ai-Ai’s decision to revoke her petition stemmed from a combination of deep emotional fatigue and a series of unresolved conflicts that had escalated over time.

“This wasn’t a rash decision,” the source said. “Ai-Ai was hurt. But she also knew she had to protect herself.”

The gravity of the situation was confirmed when Ai-Ai’s request to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to cancel Gerald’s petition for permanent residency was approved. In an emotional statement, Ai-Ai said she cried upon receiving the USCIS confirmation on March 28, 2025, calling it a bittersweet moment. “That’s when I felt what it truly means to have a bleeding heart,” she said. “But God never sleeps.”

In a heartfelt interview with Cabinet Files, Ai-Ai expressed that the painful experience taught her the importance of self-love and truthfulness, especially when dealing with U.S. Immigration. “My priority is honesty,” she said. “I cannot lie about what’s happening in my marriage.”

Adding to the emotional weight of the matter, Ai-Ai confirmed that she filed for divorce and clarified that once Gerald ceased to be her husband, he was no longer entitled to immigration benefits meant for spouses. The withdrawal also included the cancellation of Gerald’s work and travel permits in the United States.

But perhaps the most dramatic revelation of all came when Ai-Ai accused Gerald of being involved with a third party. She claimed that Gerald was the one who ended the relationship and even left their home without warning, sending his belongings to his family’s residence in the Philippines. According to Ai-Ai, the final breakup came via a Viber message on October 14, 2024.

“I didn’t let him go. He left me,” she declared, visibly heartbroken.

To date, Gerald Sibayan has not issued any public statement addressing Ai-Ai’s claims, the Green Card revocation, or his current status. Despite the silence, netizens have taken sides, with some sympathizing with Ai-Ai’s pain and others voicing support for Gerald amid his health crisis.

Meanwhile, Ai-Ai’s camp has requested the public to respect their privacy as both parties navigate the emotional and legal implications of their separation. “This isn’t easy for anyone involved. Let them heal without judgment,” the statement said.

As the drama unfolds and the legal process continues, fans and observers alike are left to wonder: Will there be closure, or is this just the beginning of a deeper rift between Ai-Ai and Gerald?
