After rumors and allegations, actor Romnick Sarmenta confirmed that his separation from ex-wife, Harlene Bautista had no third party involved.
With his confirmation, he also announced that he is romantically involved again.
On his Facebook account, the actor made a lengthy post through an ‘Open Letter’ addressed to both his fans and critics.
“I have decided to create this open letter, in a desire to address supporters, fans, and people who feel the urge to read about my private life and comment, sometimes carelessly, about my posts or my personal life.”
“Much had been said about both of us, and I guess to a certain degree, more about me and my character, by people who do not know me personally. But to set things straight, there was no third party when it happened. I wanted that clear.”
Despite their separation, Sarmenta said he respects his ex-wife and loves his family so much.
“I respect the mother of my children very much. Her privacy and her happiness are still valuable to me. And I want her to be able to live freely from all these. Above all that, I want to protect my children from careless comments and accusations thrown at their parents.”

Ending his post, the actor hopes that if people want to know about his life more it would be much better that it will come from him.
“To end, if people are so curious as to what is going on in my private life, then allow me to be the one to post it. Not some rumor, nor gossip – or a lengthy debate between people hiding behind their gadgets and opinions.”
