James Blanco admits hurt after son Iñigo reveals separation from wife
MANILA, Philippines — Actor James Blanco admitted that he was hurt when his son Iñigo Jose publicly revealed his separation from his wife Tania Creighton.
Iñigo was one of the housemates of the reality show “Pinoy Big Brother Collab Celebrity Edition 2.0,” where he revealed that his parents’ separation had an impact on him.
James' son was asked about the hardest challenge he had ever gone through and his answer was his parents' separation.
“Nakita ko na parang in a way, perfect ‘yung family namin and then ayun ‘yung nangyari. Mas naging madali para sa akin na imbes na harapin. Kasi 'pag hinaharap ko, ang hirap eh. And then pagka-ilet go ko naman, parang it feels like walang problema,” Iñigo said.
Iñigo's admission was brought up during James' guesting on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," where he was asked by Boy about his separation from his wife.
James said he believes that no one is to blame for the separation.
He did not even try to explain the incident to his children because he did not want them to hear anything bad about their mother.
Following this, Boy mentioned his son's confession on the reality show.
James said this was painful for him because he had long protected their family's privacy and had strictly reminded his son of it, which made it difficult for him to accept Iñigo's revelation.
“Nasaktan ako. Kasi Tito Boy alam mo naman ‘yung buhay ko, nasa showbiz ako pero hindi ko inilalantad ‘yung buhay ko sa industriya so siyempre nasaktan ako na kabilin-bilinan ko sa kaniya na ‘yung personal life natin hiwalay ‘yun," James said.
“And siyempre maraming mga tao na hindi naiintindihan ‘yung situation, so masakit. Masakit para sa akin,” he added.
James and Tania got married in 2002 and have three children: Iñigo, Natalia, and Sebastian.
