"The petition for the declaration of the nullity of marriage which we filed on behalf of our client, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, against her husband, Yilmaz Bektas, has finally been granted by the Regional Trial Court of Taguig City, declaring the same to be null and void under Article 36 of the Family Code last January 17, 2011," lawyers Howard Calleja and Connie Aquino of the Calleja Law Office, who served as Gutierrez' legal counsel, said in a statement sent to ABS-CBN News.
The custody of their two children, Lorin and Venice, was also awarded to Gutierrez.
In a taped episode of "Kris TV" aired on Friday, Gutierrez' mother Annabelle Rama said she is happy that her daughter is not in a romantic relationship right now.
"Career muna at sa mga bata. Ngayon, stop muna. Wala siyang boyfriend ngayon," Rama said. "Happy ako kasi mayroon siyang more time for her two children."
It was in 2007 when Gutierrez admitted that she and Bektas have parted ways. Rama said, however, that Lorin and Venice are still in contact with their father.
After Bektas, Gutierrez was romantically linked to actor John Lloyd Cruz, who is currently in a relationship with Shaina Magdayao.
