MANILA - Actress Sunshine Cruz finally bought her dream house after separating from her husband, actor Cesar Montano.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, the actress said she has been working extra hard to buy new furniture and appliances for the house.
"I just bought a house two days ago. Praise God nabili ko na, though kailangan tayo ay magtrabaho nang triple time. I know na hindi tayo papabayaan ng Diyos," said Cruz, who is a single mother to three daughters.
Cruz also reacted to the issue that Montano has already found a new love.
"Good for him, I am happy for him. Kasi kung anuman ang magpapasaya sa kanya, of course he needs an inspiration," she said.
In a previous interview, Montano said he is ready to love again after his separation from Cruz.
"Lagi pong bukas ang puso ko. Pangit pong sinasara ang puso, sapagkat narito po ang puso natin, dinesign ng Diyos 'yan para i-share ang ating pagmamahal," he said.
He even laughed when asked for his reaction to Cruz's statement, supposedly saying she now prefers to be in a relationship with someone who is not "moreno" like Montano.
"Masaya ako kung saan siya masaya," the actor said about Cruz moving on, possibly with a new man. "Masaya ako para sa kanya, sapagkat siya'y magulang ng aking mga anak."
Cruz and Montano separated in January this year over his alleged affair with model-actress Krista Miller.
In August, the couple's spat was taken to court, with Cruz accusing her husband of marital rape. This was denied by Montano, saying the incident in question was consensual.
The actress also accused Montano of keeping her from seeing their three daughters who, according to the actor's camp, chose to stay with him following the couple's separation.
