The former actress disclosed that the divorce became irreversible last year.

“To be perfectly clear that chapter is fully, finally, and irreversibly closed since October last year and finalised December the same year,” she wrote.

Padilla also clarified that the dissolution of her marriage was not through talaq, but through faskh, an Islamic judicial dissolution of marriage.

“To be more specific it is not a talaq divorce it is divorce by faskh with a condition that makes it impossible to remarry the ex-husband,” she explained.

Padilla then underscored that she no longer dwells on the past and is now focused on her faith and future.

“My energy belongs entirely to what lies ahead, my faith, my growth, and the quiet blessings of a heart that has let go completely,” she said, while asking followers to keep her in their prayers.

Queenie, who’s the daughter of Sen. Robin Padilla and sister of actress Kylie Padilla, emphasized that she was not encouraging divorce.

“I am not promoting divorce or encouraging it. It is a solution and THE LAST RESORT for couples who are incapable of giving each other mawaddah or rahmah,” she explained.

Queenie first announced her separation from Mir in May 2024, saying they had decided to part ways due to “irreconcilable incompatibility.”

Despite the separation, Padilla expressed gratitude and respect for her former husband.

“Although life has taken us on different paths right now, I will forever cherish the 11 years we’ve had together,” she expressed.
