Filipina actress and comedian Rufa Mae Quinto is in mourning following the sudden death of her estranged husband, Trevor Magallanes, who passed away in the United States. The cause of his death has not been disclosed.

Despite their separation, Quinto took to Instagram on Thursday, July 31, to reflect on the life they once shared with their daughter Athena, posting a heartfelt tribute filled with grief, love, and unanswered questions.

“Hope You Give Us Time to Mourn”

In her emotional post, Quinto wrote, “I’m deeply saddened by this development. Hope you give us time to mourn his loss especially my daughter. Just pray for us that we will get through this by the help of God!”

She revealed that she and Magallanes’ family are still working to gather accurate information surrounding his death. “We kindly ask his friends or anyone to stop spreading fake news or mere speculations about his death,” she added.

Quinto also announced that she and Athena would be flying to the United States, requesting privacy and patience while they wait for official updates. “Please wait for the official announcement surrounding his death from me and his family only and not from any other source,” she emphasized.

A Final Goodbye

The actress ended her message by speaking directly to her late husband, “Hanggang sa huli…. Hanggang sa muli, Mahal kita Trev.” (Until the end. Until we meet again. I love you, Trev.)

Magallanes’ last public post was in May, featuring a clip of him visiting wind turbines in Oklahoma, where he appeared inside his black sedan, his hair longer than usual. He had remained mostly private since then.

Celebrities Send Condolences

Following her post, many of Quinto’s celebrity friends expressed their support and condolences. Stars like Jaya, Ogie Alcasid, Maxene Magalona, and Alessandra De Rossi were among those who left messages of love and prayers in the comments section.

A Complicated Love Story

Quinto and Magallanes married in 2016 and confirmed their separation in December 2024. While they did not publicly disclose the exact reason for their split, screenshots of alleged private messages between the two surfaced online last year. The messages revealed emotional conversations, with Quinto asking Magallanes to delete a “negative post” and pleading with him to support their daughter, Athena. Magallanes allegedly accused her of using their child against him.

Despite the drama, Quinto remained respectful in interviews. In January 2025, she told media that although their divorce was still being processed, she had no regrets about their marriage.

“He’s still the best,” she said at the time. “Some things are just not perfect. But I’m happy that he is still there for our child.”

She also noted that she wasn’t looking to fall in love again. “At my age, I am no longer hoping to find someone new. He is the last man I’d love.”

Now, with his passing, those words feel even more poignant.

Looking Ahead

As Rufa Mae Quinto travels to the U.S. with her daughter to deal with the loss, fans and friends continue to send their prayers. For now, the actress asks for space, respect, and support as she and Athena navigate this heartbreaking time.
