Martin Nievera, the famous OPM singer, recently revealed that he considered ending his life after his breakup with former wife, Concert Queen Pops Fernandez. This heartfelt admission came during an interview on "TicTalk With Aster Amoyo" on YouTube.

In the interview, Martin shared that he first thought about suicide when his parents separated. However, the breakup with Pops was even harder because it was very public. "The separation of my mom and dad happened without the world knowing. But the separation of Pops and Martin was so public. That was the one that was hard," he said.

Martin felt like the villain in their story, which was a new and painful experience for him. "Siyempre it's the guy who messed around. It's the girl ang bida. I am the kontrabida. I am not used to being kontrabida. I thought I was everybody's friend," he explained. The pressure of dealing with the public’s perception added to his distress.

The singer also mentioned that the separation with Pops affected him more deeply than his parents' divorce. "When Pops and I separated, mas grabe. I had to do it all in front of you," he stated. Martin thought his career was over and felt completely lost. "I didn't care what I did. My hair was red. I looked like Ronald McDonald. Nagalit ako sa mundo because hindi nila nakita ang side ko. I wasn't important," he added.

Martin and Pops were married in 1986 and eventually annulled their marriage in 2000. They have two children. Despite the challenges, Martin's openness about his struggles highlights the emotional toll of public breakups and the importance of mental health.
