Richard and Sarah tied the knot back in 2020 after being together for several years already. It was in 2024 when the actress then confirmed that they have decided to part ways with one another.

The former couple share two children––Zion and Kai. In the interview, Richard revealed that they are co-parenting their children and are “all trying to move forward.”

The Kapamilya leading man maintained that he doesn’t want to talk about the details about why they decided to separate but assured people that they are making their children’s welfare a priority.

“Siguro yung tungkol sa amin ni Sarah, ayoko na rin pagusapan. Yung mga nangyaring detalye kasi we’re actually going through an annulment now. Both parties want to move forward. Actually, at this point, nakamove forward na yung both parties,” he shared.

“May equal time kami with our kids. Parang nag cocoparenting kami and ang priority namin is to make sure that the kids live a good life, a happy life. Of course, kung happy siya sa buhay niya at happy ako sa buhay ko, makikita ng mga bata yun. Ang importante sa amin ay ang mga bata,” he added.

For Richard, he wants to start the new year on a lighter note as he wants to leave everything in the past.

“Kung ano man yung dahilan, matagal na panahon na yun. Nakamove on na kami pareho. 2025 na, gusto ko magsimula yung taon na maganda, peaceful, at happy… Let’s leave that past in the past and we’re all trying to move forward,” he maintained.

When asked by Ogie what his wish is for his ex-wife, Richard had nothing but kind words for her.

“Basta ako ang wish ko lang ay sana maging masaya siya sa lahat ng nangyayari or decision niya kasi ako moving forward, happy din ako. Yun din ang importante samin kasi kapag happy siya, makikita ng kids yun. Maapektuhan yung kids nun,” he said.
