Filipino actress and comedian Rufa Mae Quinto has confirmed the sudden passing of her estranged husband, Trevor Magallanes. The news, shared publicly on July 31, 2025, brought heartbreak to fans and friends alike, as details about his death remain largely undisclosed.

Magallanes, who married Quinto in 2016, was a U.S.-based financial analyst and a former member of the U.S. Air Force. The couple welcomed their daughter Athena in 2017. Despite reports of separation in December 2024—with Trevor himself referring to their marriage as “a sh*t show”—they never filed for divorce and remained legally married at the time of his death.

In her emotionally charged Instagram post, Quinto wrote: “I’m deeply saddened by this development. Hope u give us time to mourn his loss, especially my daughter. Just pray for us that we will get thru this by the help of God!” She also appealed to the public to refrain from spreading rumors, stating the family is still gathering factual information about Trevor’s passing.

Earlier in 2024, Trevor had addressed speculation surrounding their relationship, expressing regret and emphasizing his priority to co-parent their daughter during their separation. Quinto, in later interviews, affirmed she accepted his decision despite still loving him and referring to him as “the last man she would love”.

At present, the cause of death remains unconfirmed. Authorities are reportedly investigating, and Quinto has asked media and fans to await official updates directly from her and her family, urging that unverified rumors be avoided.

Tributes have poured in from across Philippine entertainment circles, with many expressing condolences for Quinto and her young daughter. Despite their estranged status, fans have praised the couple’s respectful co-parenting and urged empathy during their time of loss.

The unexpected nature of Trevor Magallanes’s passing—just months after their separation—has left many questioning what truly happened. Until official details emerge, Quinto and her family are in mourning and requesting privacy. As they make plans to travel to the United States with their daughter, the public awaits a fuller picture of this tragic loss.
