"I'm exactly where I'm meant to be... Thank you Jesus. Only good vibes, love & light..." Tricia Centenera (Photos from Instagram) This is how Tricia Centenera feels more than a year since she and former husband Gab Valenciano parted ways. Tricia posted a photo of their wedding on her Instagram account early this week when it would have been their third wedding anniversary. In a blog post linked to her Instagram, Tricia shared how messages and memories reminded her of their wedding. “My phone has lit up like a Christmas tree of messages & memories of what was a fantastic wedding celebration but the matter of the fact is that even though the wedding/weddings were magical, the marriage was not,” Tricia shared. Tricia and Gab first had a civil wedding in the US on October 2014 followed by two more weddings in the Philippines— in Tagaytay on March 27 and Boracy on March 31. While some former couples can’t even see each other face to face, all is well now between Tricia and Gab. She shared that she even saw him on March 26. “I actually saw my ex-husband last night – we didn’t even realise it was the eve of our, what would have been anniversary. We had a friendly embrace & were surrounded by family, it was nice,” she said. Despite the end of their marriage, Tricia still defended Gab from bashers. She advised everyone to give him a chance as he is trying to better himself. “My ex-husband I believe is a good man who has just made some bad choices, but are any of you completely perfect? I can say I’ve made some pretty poor life choices too but I believe it’s how we bounce back & get back up that’s what’s more important,” she said. From being a married couple to ex-couple and now friends, Tricia said prayer and forgiveness brought her to where she is now. While Gab “broke” her, she managed to stay strong and forgiving. “Yes this man broke me however I didn’t let it ruin me forever. Through sincere prayer, petition & forgiveness, I can now call him a friend even though the expectation is that as his ex-wife I should hate him, I honestly don’t. Yet a friend who I’m sure will p*#s me off at times but none the less a friend…or maybe we’re more like siblings now haha he’s like the sibling who doesn’t give the best love advice,” she said. Tricia with Gab Valenciano Tricia added, “I took my time healing, stumbling many times. I spent time with Jesus. I dated myself. I allowed my family, friends & dogs to help me & love on me. And I fought for my career. There were times when I was alone but I was blessed that I never felt lonely especially thanks to my Church.” She also revealed being in a new relationship now and Gab approves of it. “He’s respectful that I’m in a relationship with a man I love whole heartedly & he’s sincerely happy for us. He asks love & healing advice & is trying for himself." Tricia thanked and informed her supporters that she feels “empowered.” “Even though I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy, I feel I really just did what other women around the world have done many times before me but mine was public so it was just noticed more. As I said I feel I just did what I had to do to better my situation & protect my body, mind, soul & most importantly my spirit,” she said. Lastly, Tricia encouraged the brokenhearted ones to love themselves, know their worth, and keep their faith in God. “Always having faith that God has a plan that’s even more magical than your wildest dreams. The right person will cross your path when you are ready.. when you are busy loving yourself right. You just have to believe in your heart of hearts that God is good."
