Fajardo emphasized her desire to keep personal matters private, stating, “Even when things regarding my relationship started to unravel publicly, I never felt I needed to release any statement. After all, I never regarded myself as some sort of a public figure, much less a celebrity.”

She candidly conveyed the depth of her pain, noting, “I am deeply hurt. I ended a long-term relationship with the man I was ready to spend the rest of my life with. To say it has been heartbreaking is an understatement.” Despite the heartbreak, Fajardo demonstrated resilience, stating her intention to move forward: “But I am now making the conscious decision to move forward with my life.”

Fajardo also addressed the unintended consequences of the public discourse surrounding the breakup. She apologized to those who may have been inadvertently affected, clarifying, “I understand that other people may have been dragged into this, but it was never my intention to hurt or harm anyone. I’m sorry if there have been things thrown in someone’s way.” She further urged the public to refrain from actions that might exacerbate the situation, appealing, “If you genuinely care for me, please refrain from doing things that would further inflame the situation.”

In the years following this tumultuous period, Pau Fajardo found love again. In January 2025, she married PJ Reblora in an intimate ceremony in Los Angeles, California. Sharing the joyous news on Instagram, Fajardo posted a video of the couple at the “Urban Light” installation at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, captioning it, “A forever kind of love. From Ms. Fajardo to Mrs. Reblora.”

Pau Fajardo’s journey from heartbreak to finding new love serves as a testament to her strength and resilience. Her story highlights the importance of personal growth, the support of loved ones, and the ability to move forward despite life’s unexpected challenges.
