According to Mama No Network, Lanko has approached her multiple times, asking that they rebuild their relationship, but she remains unmoved.
"He do say we should come back together, but I can't. I even told my family that even if I don't get married, I am very okay because there are so many reasons I can't go back to that marriage. Lanko is a chronic womaniser," she said.
How Mama No Network and Lanko's marriage fell apart
The actress described a turning point that left her with little choice but to walk away.
She said a third party approached her with information that Lanko had an entirely separate family she knew nothing about.
"In between everything, someone just told me, 'Do you know Lanko?' I said yes. Then the person told me he has a wife and even three kids with her, and he never told me about it, and that's how I just left the marriage," she explained.

Mama No Network speaks on career restriction and long absences
Beyond the hidden family, Mama No Network also raised concerns about how Lanko treated her ambitions as an actress.
She said that once they began living together, he attempted to put a stop to her career entirely.
Adding to that frustration was his prolonged and unexplained absence from their home.
"Even after some time, he told me I can't go into acting after we started living together. It got to a point where he wouldn't come home for two months, one month, and I got surprised that is it that hard in the movie industry?" she said.
The actress made it clear that her decision to remain single is a deliberate and peaceful one, insisting she is comfortable with her life as it stands rather than return to a marriage she said caused her significant pain.
