For the past years, actor Maxene Magalona has been sharing her healing journey on her socials, including issues on relationships, advocating mental health awareness, and her passions in life.

On 20 October, Thursday, Maxene opened up to Iza Calzado's She Talks Asia via Instagram Live about her separation from husband Rob Manangquil, a fashion model and visual artist.

In January, rumors about their separation began when netizens noticed that Maxene unfollowed Rob on Instagram.

On 14 October, Maxene posted a photo of herself in a coffee shop. She commented: "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 (woman shrugging emoji)"

Then on 17 October, Maxene posted a photo of the wedding gown she wore in her.

As caption, Maxene wrote: "7 ways to move on after a breakup."

In Iza's show, Maxene said, "I speak openly about it because I'm not ashamed.

She also declared:

"I'm human. I went through that, I stumbled. I fell. And that's how I picked myself back up,"

"You always have to align yourself. You always have to keep yourself in check. So, fully healed? For me, it'd a continuous journey. Its a never-ending process offsetting to know yourself," Maxene said.

"You have to become your own best friend."
