Ogie: 'I love Regine, I'm over with wife Michelle'


The long wait is over. Ogie Alcasid finally made his much talked about announcement in YES! magazine's June issue. In fact, he made two. Ogie's announcement, for some, may seem like a confirmation of what has been speculated since his wife, former Miss Australia Michelle van Eimeren, and kids, Leila and Sarah, migrated to Australia. "I'm separated. Michelle and I are separated, and we have been... for a long time," Ogie finally dropped the bomb. YES! editors Jo-Ann Maglipon and Anna Pingol wrote: "Like everyone else, we've been thinking this, but when we actually hear it, it renders us silent somehow." Ogie proceeds to talk about being separated from his family, about his in-laws, and about the rumored annulment being filed. Two hours into the interview, the name that all have been waiting for, Regine Velasquez, hasn't come up yet. The question—Is there love between the songbird and the songwriter?—has not been answered. "I think what I'd like to say with regards to Regine... I... I'm in love with her... very much," Ogie finally said. There goes the second announcement. The songwriter talked about his muse with much admiration. He answered several rumors that have been reported about them—Regine's non-showbiz boyfriend, Ogie's supposed jealous fit over the Regine-Robin tandem, Regine's alleged jealous fit over Miriam Quiambao, Regine reportedly saddened by Ogie's absence in her 20th anniversary concert, Ogie and Regine rumored to be living together, Regine being rumored to reason for Ogie's break-up with Michelle, and Ogie and Regine's supposed plan to get married soon. The 16-page article on Ogie's personal life will most likely put Ogie and Regine under much public scrutiny. "E, ngayon pa lang marami nang sinasabi, e... So at the end of the day when you're happy, if you're okay, then you're okay. It doesn't matter what people say, you have to do what you have to do with your life. You've got to be true to yourself," Ogie admitted. Catch Ogie's detailed interview, only in YES!, now available at your local bookstores and newsstands. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
