The “Perfect” Family No One Knew

Long before they became individual icons in their respective fields, Jackielou and Ricky were known as one of the most admired couples in Philippine showbiz. With their stunning looks, undeniable chemistry, and growing family, they seemed like the very definition of a fairytale romance.

We had beautiful memories. Those years together with our children… I will always cherish them,” Jackielou said, her voice trembling with emotion. “We had Christmases, birthdays, quiet Sundays. We were a real family.”

Photos and videos of their time together—previously kept away from the public eye—have recently resurfaced online, showing candid moments of them laughing, traveling, and enjoying quiet family time. Netizens have been quick to comment:

“Grabe! I didn’t know they were this close!”
“They looked so happy… parang walang problema.”
“Why did they split if they had something this good?”

The TRUTH Behind the Split—And the Missing Annulment

While fans assumed that the two had long parted ways and finalized their separation through legal annulment, Jackielou stunned everyone when she clarified: “We never got annulled. Hindi kami na-annul ni Ricky.”

According to the actress, although they did go their separate ways, they never formally dissolved their marriage. “We didn’t need to go through that process. We chose to separate quietly and respectfully. There were no courtrooms, no drama.”

This shocking confession has now reignited discussions about their past relationship, with many wondering if there’s still a chance at reconciliation.

People think everything has to end in chaos or paperwork, but it’s possible to part ways peacefully,” Jackielou added. “We remained friends. We co-parented. We respected each other.”

A Love That Never Truly Ended?

While Jackielou didn’t explicitly mention any plans of rekindling their relationship, her words were full of warmth and nostalgia. The way she spoke about Ricky Davao showed a love that was never bitter, just transformed.

“He’s the father of my children. We’ve been through so much. I will always respect him.”

Ricky Davao, for his part, has yet to issue a formal statement, but insiders claim he was “touched” by Jackielou’s words and “appreciative” of the way she spoke about their shared past.
