Camille Prats's first husband, Anthony Linsangan's unfortunate passing has brought intense pain and sorrow to the actress. She had to be a single mom to their son, Nathan, who was only three at the time of Anthony's passing in 2011.
But it seems destiny has its own way of writing things.
Fast forward to 2017, Camille took her second chance at love when she married her childhood sweetheart, John Yambao.
"I'd like to believe he's my forever,” she said in a press conference for 2018 GMA series, 'Ang Forever Ko'y Ikaw,' where she played a single mother still attached to her past but is hoping to find a new love--a role that hit her close to home.
Right now, Camille is living a blissfull life with John together with their children.
The couple was blessed with two beautiful kids, Nala and Nolan, and is co-parenting Nathan and Ice, John's son from a previous relationship.
Camille's relationship timeline proves that love is not all about kilig and romance. Disappointments and hitting rock bottom--even loss--comes with the process, but these led her to find the right love at the right time and under the perfect circumstances.
