In a recent appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, the King of Talk asked which failed relationship she found most difficult to move on from.
"I think my second boyfriend. 'Yung kay Lee Robin Salazar, I think. Oo, kasi 6-year relationship 'yun," Rachel revealed.
She also shared the reason behind her struggle to put that particular relationship behind her.
"The length of time, and maybe the intensity of it," she said.
Aside from Lee, Rachel also revealed that she had a hard time moving on from her relationship with fellow singer-actor Dingdong Avanzado.
Thankfully, she learned a lot about love and heartbreak from her father, legendary OPM singer Hajji Alejandro.
According to Rachel, her father had a "been there, done that" mentality.
"'I've been at my worst,' sabi niya. 'Nawala sa'kin ang taong pinakamahal ko sa buhay, and I lived,'" she recalled what her father told her.
Rachel has been married to Spanish journalist Carlos Santamaria since 2011.
