Ruffa Gutierrez revealed that she was not surprised at all about the news that her estranged husband, Yilmaz Bektas is seeing Zuleyka Rivera, former Ms. Puerto Rico and 2006 Miss Universe. “Naihanda ko na ang sarili ko,” she shared.

“Yilmaz is young, he’s very attractive, kahit sino pwede niyang maging girlfriend. Hindi ako nakaramdam ng selos or sakit man lang because I was already expecting that.”

The host of The Buzz said that she learned about it when a friend in Istanbul, where she lived during her marriage with the business tycoon, sent her a copy of the story in a Turkish newspaper and the article’s translation. Ruffa shared that Yilmaz used to mention Zuleyka to her but she didn’t take it to heart.

In her interview on The Buzz, Ruffa said that Yilmaz did not confirm that he and Zuleyka are dating. “Pero may pasundot-sundot siya na, ‘Now I’m happy’ so nakikita ko yung between the lines,” she revealed.          

Despite claiming that she has moved on and has prepared herself for times like this, Ruffa got emotional and failed to hold back tears. “I’m emotional kasi every marriage that breaks (up)…nakakalungkot. Siyempre may mga anak kami,” she said, thinking of her two daughters with Yilmaz, Lorine and Venice. “Hindi ako umiiyak kasi nami-miss ko siya o gusto kong magkabalikan kami, o nasasaktan ako, it’s just that sinabi na ni Yilmaz, ‘Ruffa, there’s nothing to go back to.’ Wala na. tinuldukan na naming pareho. Nakakalungkot lang kasi may dalawa kaming anak.”

Yilmaz arrived in the country last April 4, Friday, which Ruffa said, could be his last visit to his daughters and to the Philippines. Nonetheless, she said that he is always welcome to visit their kids. “Gusto ko lang mangyari sa amin ni Yilmaz that makapag-move on kami in a very peaceful way, maging magkaibigan kami and I think what is very important is the future of our kids.”
