“Sabi ko, 'Is this a joke?' [Sabi ni Yilmaz], 'No, I want to invite you to be in a train with me' and mag-train daw kami all over Europe. So, sabi ko, 'Totoo ba 'to or baka he's planning my murder on the plane or train,” she quipped.

“At least, we've come to that decision and we can joke and be happy with one another,” Ruffa said.

The former couple got married in 2003 and separated in 2007. They have two daughters, Lorin and Venice.

In 2024, Ruffa confirmed she and Herbert Bautista are in a relationship.
