Sandy Andolong and Christopher de Leon have been together for more than forty years, but there was a time when their relationship was put to a test.
On Tuesday’s episode of “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” the veteran actress opened up about her marriage with Christopher and revealed that she once left their home.
“There was a time I left him. We had two boys that time si Rafael and Miguel. I left the house kasi para ang chaotic. It was too much already. It was beginning to have a really bad effect on my two children at that time. So I left Christopher,” Sandy said.
“Nagulat si Christopher, pag-uwi niya, wala na ako,” she added.
After leaving their home, Sandy went to a convent and stayed there for a week, “praying and asking God for direction.” After their almost-fallout, Sandy said Christopher decided to “surrender” his life to Jesus.
“Nag-LSS (Life in the Spirit Seminar) kami together because he kept telling me, ‘No, I want this to work. I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to lose the boys. I want to have a complete family,’ kasi he comes from a broken family, I came from a broken family, I have an absentee father at that time. So ayun, nag-Oasis kami that’s when things settle down na,” she said.
Christopher and Sandy got married in 2001, but they have been in a relationship since 1980. They celebrated their 42nd anniversary in 2022.
In 2019, the couple renewed their vows in Halong Bay in Vietnam. They have five children Rafael, Miguel, Gabriel, Mariel, and Mica.
