Actress and lifestyle influencer Max Collins confirmed her divorce from actor Pancho Magno, marking the end of their nearly seven-year marriage. In an exclusive interview with 24 Oras, Collins shared that their separation had been finalized in the United States, where she filed for divorce last month, taking advantage of her U.S. citizenship.
Moving Forward with Co-Parenting
Despite the separation, Collins and Magno maintain an amicable relationship, focusing on co-parenting their three-year-old son, Skye Anakin. Collins emphasized their commitment to a healthy and cooperative dynamic: “We want to show people that you can be like us. It’s possible.” The couple aims to set a positive example, proving that a respectful, supportive co-parenting relationship is achievable post-divorce.
Collins and Magno, who married in December 2017, were first linked in 2016. They eventually became one of local showbiz’s well-loved couples. Though ultimately short-lived, their marriage was filled with shared milestones, including the birth of their son in 2020.
Embracing Career Growth
Now, as Collins embarks on a new chapter, she remains focused on her flourishing career. Recently, she joined forces with actress Michelle Dee in a wellness venture and is set to open an Airbnb property in Boracay. Additionally, Collins recently partnered with Ruru Madrid as the face of the international watch brand Titan. “It’s so nice to juggle all of these different hats,” Collins shared. “I’m growing more as a woman through these different challenges.”
With no animosity, Collins and Magno have chosen a path of mutual respect, dedicated to providing a loving environment for their son. The actress’s message of resilience and optimism resonates with fans, who have shown support as she gracefully navigates her journey beyond marriage.
