Former ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ (TNT) grand finalist Anton Antenorcruz opened up about his personal life, like his failed marriage during his teenage years.
In a one-on-one interview with Boy Abunda, the singer revealed that he had no regrets over his failed marriage because of his lessons.
“Malungkot ako na naungkat siya ulit pero thankful ako kasi nu’ng time na nangyari ‘yun, parang naprepare na ako sa controversy,” he told Abunda.
The interview was held at the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, where Antenorcruz is staying for the 11th edition of The Outstanding Filipinos in America Annual Awards.
The singer also revealed that he is not closing his doors for a new love.
“Hindi ko ikino-close yung doors ko pero kung i-ask ako, why not? Pero kung hindi, okay lang din.”
In 2012, Antenorcruz married his teenage boyfriend, Filipino-Australian John Carasig. He was 18 years old, and the singer admitted that his decision was rash and a mistake.
The singer then recalled how his parents still accepted him after his failed marriage, even if he was not on good terms with them before.
“Kinain ko yung pride ko tinawagan ko sila. Sumagot si Mommy, wala akong sinabi, humagulgol lang ako. Na-realize ko talagang wala kang matututunang tama kung hindi mo kasama yung pamilya mo, at kung di mo mahal yung sarili mo,” he said.
Anton Antenorcruz joined ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ Season 2 in 2017, but he did not win the competition. He only managed to enter the top 6 in the live finale. Janine Berdin was hailed as the grand champion back then.
