“Life truly is a precious gift. Waking up each morning in good health, finding comfort under a safe roof, surrounded by loved ones who offer unconditional support, and feeling the presence of a higher power guiding each step—these blessings are invaluable,” Meirelles wrote.
She also acknowledged that her life is far from flawless, writing, “It’s not because my life is perfect or because I possess everything I desire. In fact, my reality is quite the opposite, far from perfect, and I don’t have it all. Yet, I hold onto a life that is uniquely mine—a life I’ve built and cherish deeply.” By openly speaking about imperfections, Meirelles reminded her followers that contentment comes not from having everything but from embracing what one already has.
Looking ahead, she described turning 42 as a milestone, adding a playful note: “So, here’s to my 21st times 2 Birthday—what a milestone! I see it as just the beginning of new possibilities and opportunities. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, you know who you are.”
Beyond her personal reflections, Meirelles has also been open about her family life. She was married to actor John Estrada, with whom she shares a daughter. Though their relationship went through a very public split, Meirelles has continued to focus on raising their child and creating a stable and loving environment. Her social media posts often reflect her devotion as a mother, showing that her daughter remains one of her greatest sources of strength and joy.
Priscilla Meirelles, the estranged wife of John Estrada, is a Brazilian model, host, actress, environmentalist, and beauty queen. In 2004, she won the Miss Earth title, the pageant night being held in the Philippines. She also became Miss Globe in 2003.
John Estrada, on the other hand, is a seasoned Filipino actor and model. He became a staple in Philippine television and cinema, known for his versatility in both comedic and dramatic roles. In his personal life, John was first married to actress Janice de Belen, with whom he has four children: Inah, Moira, Kaila, and Yuan. Their marriage was eventually annulled in 2004. He later married Brazilian beauty queen Priscilla Meirelles in 2011, and they have a daughter named Sammanta Anechka.
During her contract signing with Viva, Priscilla confirmed her separation from husband John Estrada. She revealed she found peace two years ago, but only made the decision public after much reflection, in a video shared by ABS-CBN. Respect and setting a good example for her daughter were key reasons behind her decision. She criticized societal double standards, saying women shouldn’t have to stay silent just because men “pay the bills.”
In other news, Priscilla Meirelles shared a heartfelt message praising her daughter, Anechka, for her impressive achievements, emphasizing her intelligence, dedication, and budding talents at a young age. Meirelles highlighted her role as Anechka’s “biggest cheerleader,” expressing profound pride in her daughter's hard work and integrity, and confidently stating that dedication will lead to success. Online admirers lauded Anechka’s diverse qualities, noting her intelligence, natural talent, academic dedication, and mature, responsible character, as highlighted by friends and followers.
