Maxene Magalona on being ‘single and childless’: ‘Life is all about perspective’

Maxene Magalona got real about the “perks of being single and childless” as she appeared to confirm her separation from her husband, musician Rob Mananquil. 

In a recent Instagram post, the actress shared how she’s able to maintain a positive perspective in life without a date and a child. “No date? No problem!” she began. 

“Perks of being single and childless: You have full control of your schedule. You can literally do anything you want on any day at whatever time,” Maxene wrote. 

She added that she’s now able to focus on herself better as she dedicates more moments to “me time.” 

“I watch movies in the cinemas alone, take myself out on dates, and go on long solo drives especially when my vibration is low,” she explained. “One time, I even felt the sudden urge to buy crystals for extra protection and I was able to do it easily because I have no one else to think of but myself." 

After all, Maxene pointed out, life is all about perspective. “Do you see your glass empty or half full? I see mine overflowing,” she said.

Maxene and Rob tied the knot in January 2018. Breakup speculations started circulating in January 2022, when they unfollowed each other on Instagram and Maxene dropped Rob’s surname from her IG profile.
