Rufa Mae Quinto confirmed the death of her husband, Trevor Magallanes, in an emotional post. The 47-year-old actress addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding Magallane’s cause of passing and urged everyone to refrain from spreading rumors or false information.
Trevor Magallanes has passed away
Filipino TV entertainer Rufa Mae Quinto revealed that the cause of her husband Trevor Magallanes’ death is still being investigated. In an Instagram post on Thursday, July 30, she detailed that the authorities are still gathering accurate details about his death.
In the post, she wrote, “I’m deeply saddened by this development. Hope you give us time to mourn his loss, especially my daughter.” She added, “I am flying tomorrow to the US with my daughter, so please wait for the official announcement surrounding his death from me and his family only and not from any other source.”
Mae Quinto’s Instagram post included a carousel of pictures, which included snaps of the couple’s eight-year-old daughter, Athena. The US-based businessman and the actress reportedly got married in 2016.
However, the couple were reportedly seeking divorce in 2024. But Mae Quinto had explained during an interaction with Boy Abunda that despite her late husband being more vocal about getting a divorce, the duo did not file any paperwork, as divorce is not legal in the Philippines. (via ABC CBN).
She had also stated in an interview earlier this year that Magallanes is the “last man” she would “love.” The acclaimed actress had gushed, “At my age, I am no longer hoping to find someone new. He is the last man I’d love. But if he already made up his mind [about the separation], I need to accept it” (via Inquirer Net).
Meanwhile, social media has seen an outpouring of tributes as many mourn Magallanes’ passing and the actress’ loss. One fan posted on Reddit, “Let’s lift her and her daughter up in prayer. It is still difficult to deal with the loss of someone.”
Another talked about the actress’ sincerity for her late husband, as she had expressed her wish to reconcile her marriage just a few months back. The user wrote, “OMG. In her interview a few months back, she wanted to fix their marriage. It seems Rufa really loves Trev. I feel for Rufa. It’s so sad!”
