The confirmation came during a heartfelt interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, where Meirelles clarified that she is now officially single.
While the couple had faced public scrutiny for years, Meirelles revealed that she took the definitive step of filing for divorce in Brazil back in 2024.
She explained that as a foreign national, she exercised her legal right to seek a dissolution of marriage under Brazilian law, which has now been fully processed and granted.

"For me, the marriage is no longer valid. I don’t see myself sharing a life with that person anymore," Meirelles stated firmly.
She reflected on the 14 years she spent trying to save the union, admitting that she reached a breaking point where moving forward alone became the only viable path to peace.
The beauty queen-turned-actress shared that the decision was not impulsive but the result of years of emotional labor.
She noted that while she previously stated in 2025 that they were "legally married," she had already initiated the secret proceedings in Brazil to ensure she had factual evidence before making a public announcement.
Meirelles also touched upon Estrada's reaction to the news, noting that he was unhappy and questioned her decision.
She recounted her response to him: "I don’t think there’s a reason to stay married to you if I don’t see myself with you as my partner... I don’t see a future with you."
Despite the separation, she emphasized that they remain committed to co-parenting their daughter, Samantha Anechka, born in 2012.
Now residing in a state of personal peace, Meirelles expressed hope for the future, even hinting at her openness to finding a "godly man" who treats her as an equal.
Having returned to acting and launched her own podcast, Amigas, she is focused on her career and being a strong example for her daughter.
The couple, who wed in a romantic La Union ceremony in 2011, became a frequent topic of tabloid headlines in mid-2024 following a controversial social media exchange during Estrada’s vacation in Boracay.
While Estrada initially claimed they had "mutually agreed to take a break," Meirelles’ latest confirmation brings a definitive and legal close to one of the most talked-about marriages in Philippine show business.
Priscilla Meirelles is a multi-talented Brazilian personality distinguished as a model, television host, actress, and environmental advocate. She achieved international acclaim by winning the Miss Globe crown in 2003, followed by the Miss Earth title in 2004 during its coronation in the Philippines. Formerly married to actor John Estrada, she remains a prominent figure in global pageantry.
Recently, Priscilla hosted a heartwarming intimate dinner to celebrate her daughter Anechka’s 14th birthday, surrounded by close family and friends. Despite their legal separation, John Estrada and Priscilla reunited at the event, demonstrating a united front for their daughter’s special milestone. The beauty queen shared candid moments of the celebration online, featuring a custom birthday cake and the touching tradition of a family serenade. In a moving Instagram post, Meirelles described Anechka as one of her "greatest joys," promising to be her lifelong cheerleader as she enters her mid-teens.
A couple of months ago, Priscilla officially joined the Viva Artists Agency, signaling a major shift toward full-time acting and hosting projects in 2026. The actress expressed her gratitude to the Del Rosario family and veteran manager Aster Amoyo for their confidence in her "new chapter" as a professional artist. Embracing the mantra that "it’s never too late to begin again," Meirelles noted that she is now emotionally and linguistically prepared for more challenging roles. Following the signing, the industry has buzzed with anticipation for her upcoming cinematic and television appearances, which aim to showcase her versatility beyond the pageant stage.
