“With how difficult endings are and how much they cost me. I have to turn on the TV or see versions on the networks that are not real. But I accept it because it is part of what is bad, of who I am. I decided to separate but we will not stop being family with Mauro.

“Trying a thousand times more when there is love was not a mistake either. I don't regret anything, I gave that couple the best years of my life, but today I have to remain alone.

“There are no culprits or third parties, ours was always stronger than what was external. My priority was always my children and today more than ever. Thanks for the respect”
