Personal life
editVillarroel was previously married to Rustom Padilla in 1994;[1] the two had no children, and Villarroel filed for annulment several years after, which was granted in 2002.[2]
Villarroel married her partner Zoren Legaspi on November 15, 2012;[3] the couple had twins on January 6, 2001, in the United States.[4] Legaspi planned a surprise proposal and civil wedding with the help of their families and the network.[5] The ceremony was later aired the following Saturday as the television special Zoren-Carmina: Always Forever, A Wedding Like No Other. The idea of a surprise proposal followed by a flashmob-style instant wedding was inspired by a remarkably similar episode of the U.S. television programme Mobbed, hosted by Howie Mandel.
