October 9 ------ Nathalie Hart returns to Philippine showbiz following a year-long hiatus which brought many challenges and changes in her life, sadly including her separation from her Australian husband, Brad Robert. The 32-year-old actress is now balancing life as a single mother to her six-year-old daughter while restarting her career, now as the newest talent under Viva Artist Agency.
In a press conference, Hart opened up about her separation from Robert just a year and two months after their wedding in Australia. According to her, the breakup made her decide to return to the Philippines. "I got separated. That's why I suddenly disappeared. Unfortunately, we didn't work out. That's why I was gone last year. Then I thought, since things didn't work out, I might as well return to the Philippines and do something new. And that's why I'm back," Hart revealed. "I'm also doing a lot of work right now. Then, I got an offer from Viva. They were interested in signing me. So, I'm super happy that I got this opportunity to work with them and that they're interested in me. So, yeah, I'm just excited," she added.
Hart furthered that they are now in the process of divorce but are "moving forward." "It's embarrassing. I mean, it's not something you just talk about or share with everyone. The paperwork is starting and all that. He's there, and I've been here for a couple of months now so I thought, it's okay to talk about it now. But when it first happened, I wasn't interested [to talk about it] at all. Now, both of us are moving forward. I just wish we could find happiness for ourselves," she said.
When asked about the judgment that often comes with a public separation, Hart was honest in saying, "At first, you feel ashamed, worried that people will judge you. They'll say you failed the first time, and now you've failed again. But then, I realized, who cares? It's my life. As long as I'm happy and doing something meaningful, that's all that matters." Now, being a mother has shifted Hart's perspective on life and work. "Motherhood really changed me. Before, I didn't care much about anything, but now I plan everything ahead. I used to stay out until four or five in the morning. Now, if I go out, I need to be home by midnight because I have to wake up at 7 a.m. the next day to take care of my daughter. Life has completely changed. You can do whatever you want when you're single, but once you become a mom, your priorities shift," she pointed out.
