Janella Salvador Reveals Why She Won’t Settle for Marriage Just for the Sake of a Child
JANELLA SALVADOR – Actress-singer Janella Salvador opens up about why she refuses to settle for marriage just for the sake of a child, emphasizing the importance of readiness and mutual commitment.
Janella Salvador is a well-known Filipina actress, recognized for her talent and charisma in both television and film. She gained significant fame for her role as Nikki Grace ‘Nik-Nik’ Lim in the popular TV series Be Careful With My Heart.
Janella has also portrayed the iconic character Valentina in ABS-CBN’s Mars Ravelo’s Darna series. Beyond her acting career, Janella is a proud mother to her son Jude, whom she shares with Markus Paterson.
Recently, Janella Salvador, along with fellow celebrity mom Elisse Joson, shared their thoughts on motherhood during a special episode of Modern Parenting’s Couch Talk on YouTube.
During the interview, Elisse posed the question to Janella about her views on marriage and its role in creating a nurturing family environment. Janella candidly expressed her thoughts, emphasizing that while marriage is ideal for children to grow up in a stable and loving family, it isn’t always necessary.
“It’s ideal to be married so that your kids grow up in a complete family, but it just doesn’t work out for some and that’s the reality of it,” Janella explained. She further clarified that marriage should be about two people choosing to spend their lives together, not merely because of a child.
Janella also shared her perspective on not rushing into marriage solely because of parenthood. “I don’t believe na just because you have a kid, you have to get married automatically, even if you’re not ready. There are many situations where people stay together just for the sake of the kid, and then they end up so unhappy. Constant fighting, and the child grows up in that environment. Don’t settle if you’re not ready,” she said, which resonated well with many viewers.
