Ikinasal sina Priscilla at John sa Thunderbird Poro Point sa La Union noong Pebrero 26, 2011.
Nagbunga ng isang anak na babae, si Anechka, 14, ang kanilang pagsasama.
Noong 2024 ay napabalitang on the rocks ang pagsasama nila, hanggang sa tuluyan na nga silang maghiwalay.
Ayon kay Priscilla, may mga positibong epekto sa kanya ang pagpapawalang bisa ng kasal nila ni John.
Paliwanag ng Brazilian beauty queen: "I regained my peace of mind.
"Yung happiness ko is back and I’m so confident about so many things.
"And I really feel yung bagong taon, bagong buhay ko.”

PRISCILLA MEIRELLES AND JOHN ESTRADA ARE NOW DIVORCED
Tinanong ng host na si Boy Abunda si Priscilla ang estado ngayon ng relasyon nila ni John.
Pagsisiwalat ng Miss Earth 2004 titleholder: “We’re no longer married.
"Which means bilang isang foreigner, may karapatan ako to divorce my husband.
“So last year, I went to Brazil and I started the process of divorcing him...
"Actually not last year, 2024, bago actually mag-guest dito [in February 2025], I already went to Brazil.
"And I didn’t announce it anymore because ayoko na nga magsalita ng mga bagay na hindi pa napatunayan.
“I wanted to be ready that when I open my mouth, it’s a fact.
"So I went to Brazil, I processed the papers I need to process. I left a power of attorney to my lawyer to apply for divorce."
Bagamat sa Pilipinas ikinasal sina Priscilla at John, ipinarehistro raw ng beauty queen ang kanilang kasal sa Brazil.
Saad niya: “I got married in the Philippines but I registered my marriage in Brazil, which means that my marriage is both valid in the Philippines and in Brazil.
"Pero bilang isang foreigner, I am entitled, it’s my right to divorce. Because in my country, divorce is allowed.”

FROM ANNULMENT TO DIVORCE
Nabanggit ni Priscilla na ang unang plano niya ay maghain ng annulment sa Pilipinas. Pero hindi ito nangyari dahil sa COVID-19 pandemic noong 2020.
Ibig sabihin, matagal na ang kanyang planong hiwalayan si John bago pa man mapabalitang may pinagdadaanan ang kanilang pagsasama noong 2024.
“I’m actually contemplating annulment before and I did start the process of annulment, but I did not file kasi nangyari ang pandemic.
“And during the time, I couldn’t file for divorce because my marriage was still not registered in Brazil.
"But some things changed with the law and I was able to register by myself, the marriage.
"And once it was registered, I have the right to divorce.”
Bakit siya nagdesisyong mapawalang-bisa ang kasal nila ni John?
Sagot ni Priscilla: “Because the marriage is no longer valid. I don’t see myself sharing a life with that person.
"I fought for fourteen years and it got to a point na hindi ko na kaya.
“I realized after a lot of things had happened that the best thing for me is to really move forward mag-isa.”

JOHN ESTRADA’S REACTION
Inusisa rin ni Boy si Priscilla kung ano ang naging reaksiyon ni John nang sabihin sa aktor na gusto na niyang makipaghiwalay.
"He was not happy," pag-amin ni Priscilla.
"Actually, the first sentence he said, ‘Pri, bakit ginawa mo yan?’
“And then, sinasabi ko sa kanya, ‘Because I don’t see myself sharing a life with you anymore. And I don’t think that there is any reason to stay married to you if I don’t see myself with you as my partner, as my companion. I don’t see a future with you.’"
Pagpapatuloy niya: “A lot of things happened, our interests are not aligned anymore, our values are not aligned anymore. The things that we look forward to were not aligned anymore.
“We’re just sharing a home so it doesn’t make sense to me to be stuck in a relationship where you don’t have much to share with that person and you don’t see your future with that person.
“Na-explain ko sa kanya that I’ve done a lot of things in the sense that I’ve warned him many times.
"I tried so many ways. I tried to fight [for] him. I tried to be quiet.
"I tried so many things to save the marriage. I tried to go to the church...
"We went to a psychiatrist... I did a lot and it did not happen, unfortunately.
“My mindset was one and his mindset was different. I wanted to save my family and he was having fun."
Sabi pa ni Priscilla tungkol kay John: “He was very sad. He said, ‘I am so sad...’
“Siguro sa utak niya, na-realize niya, ‘O, totoo pala ito...’
“There’s a lot of things I’ve done that he didn’t expect yon.
"Nagulat siya sa lahat because I had been there for a while."

not just a third party
Nilinaw ni Priscilla ang impression sa kanya ng ibang tao na siya ay isang martir na asawa.
Saad niya: "A lot of people call me a martyr wife, which I am not.
"It’s just I’m fighting for my family and karapatan ko yon. I was fighting for myself and my daughter.
"But it came to a point that there is not much that you can give because naubos ka na.
“It got to a point that I realized that for my, one, well-being, I need to get out of this situation.
"Because it’s not doing any good and I don’t see getting any better.”
Natawa si Priscilla sa kasunod na tanong ni Boy: “Was there a third party?”
Sagot ni Priscilla: “Tito Boy, ang dami sila, e! Third, fourth, fifth, sixth... buong barangay yata!”
Ibinahagi rin ni Priscilla ang pag-uusap nila ni John bago sila nagpakasal noong Pebrero 26, 2011.
“We had a conversation, we promised each other certain things.
"Never siya nagtago yung past niya. But he promised me that he will be a different man for me because he loves me to a point na nagbago siya because that’s what he wants.
"Now, yung nangyari, parang hindi siya nagbago, e."
