Jodi Sta. Maria's marriage to Pampi Lacson annulled after 13 years
Jodi Sta. Maria's marriage to Pampi Lacson has been annulled.
The actress shared the news on Instagram, accompanied with a long reflecting post.
"Finally after 13 years of waiting, my petition for nullity of marriage has been granted by the Supreme Court," she said.
"The time I spent in His waiting room was never easy nor was it comfortable. It was frustrating, discouraging, and even heartbreaking. I cried, prayed, questioned and complained. I made 'tampo,' asked for forgiveness, prayed some more. I wanted to give up but He never let go of me," she added.
She then looked back on her journey, saying it was "God's grace" that sustained and carried her.
"He had a purpose for the waiting. And that was made clear to me by the Lord," Jodi said.
"God is never in a hurry. He is never too late. Never too early. Believe He is able to do something about your situation. Trust He has a plan for you and that plan is even better than the one you have for yourself," she added. "And when God finally calls you out of the waiting room, don't forget to thank Him and give Him all the glory."
She went on to thank the people who were with her on her journey, as well as her lawyer who did not give up on her case.
"Now I can finally say…case closed," Jodi ended.
On Instagram, fellow celebrities sent in their love for the actress.
"Jodi! Congratulations! Your long wait is over! Big, big hug, anak! God's timing is always so perfect! Love you," veteran actress Coney Reyes said.
Jodi and Pampi got married in 2005 and separated in 2011. Their son Thirdy was born in 2005.
