This is what Elisse Joson shared about her previous relationship.
Actress-model Elisse Joson reflected on her failed relationship with actor McCoy de Leon and their co-parenting setup.
Last year, celebrities Elisse and McCoy de Leon announced the end of their relationship through a joint statement. They share a daughter, and it broke their fans’ hearts to see their once-happy family fall apart.
They tried hard to save their relationship, but there came a point when their relationship had to end, and they had to let go of the dream. They stated, “We both held on for as long as we could. But now, we’re learning to let go. Letting go of that dream… so we can finally allow a new kind of peace, growth, and healing to enter.”
Months after this, Elisse spoke about the matter and shared that they disagreed on many things, which ultimately led to their split. She has no plans to reconcile with him, and their only focus now is their daughter, Felize. They are also focused on keeping the peace and harmony between them as they co-parent.
“Actually, when we separated kasi hindi din naging okay. I mean, it was mutual, but mahirap yung nangyari,” says the actress in the YouTube video of life coach Pia Acevedo. It came to a point that no matter how hard they try to fix the differences, it just won’t work.
She added, “Kasi may mga times po na, wala… kahit anong i-try niyo to fix your differences, hindi po nagwo-work. So let’s leave it like that, and focus on what matters.”
Currently, they do their best to be there for Felize. They still talk, but only about their daughter. It all started when Felize’s school called to inform them about changes in her behavior after their separation.
While she initially thought Felize was unaffected, things were different outside their home. The young child began avoiding other kids and preferred to be around adults. This became the turning point for them as parents—they decided to set aside their differences and focus on doing what’s best for Felize, giving her everything she needs, no matter what it takes.
“So there are days na we will still go eat together as a family, play with her, spend time with her. So we really make an effort to be there for her, the both of us, with her… But at the same time, also regularly explaining to her, telling her na, ‘Mommy and Daddy are just friends now,’” she shared.
