In February, Gillian was filming a web drama in Malaysia and Michael visited her on set and apparently the couple were left on a good note. The couple knew that because of the Covid-19 pandemic, they would be separated for quite some times again. When he received Gillian’s request for divorce, Michael was shocked that their marriage has come to an end, but he nevertheless agreed and signed separation papers on Mar 1.
He revealed that immediately after their wedding in 2018, Gillian already regretted getting married. Gillian told him, she doesn’t truly love him and she think marriage doesn’t suit her. However, after a long discussion the couple decided to work out their problems.
“In March of this year, you called me and said: “I’m sorry, I thought I would fall in love with you slowly after marriage, but i really couldn’t do it and think of separation” At first, I though you were just joking, until I received your signed separation agreement, my feelings went from sadness to anger to loss, and finally to acceptance of reality. I think life is like this. Although I still can’t believe it, but thank you for telling me your true feelings so that we can walk towards our separate future,” Micheal wrote.
Despite this, Michael does not regret getting married with Gillian, “I would still have proposed to you and gotten married.”
