“The Blind Side” star Quinton Aaron has finally shed light on finding out that his “wife,” Margarita, was still married to her ex-husband.
In a new interview, he revealed that he would have never spoken to her if he knew she was a “married woman,” claiming that he’s happy their own union was “voided.”
Quinton Aaron also spoke about his healing journey, stressing that he knows he will walk again after his stroke incident left him paralyzed.
During a chat with Us Weekly, Aaron candidly talked about his split from Margarita, noting how he was in a bad place during his health ordeal, which was worsened when he found out his wife was legally married to her supposed ex-husband.
According to the actor, Margarita assured him she was completely divorced from her ex, hence why he agreed to date her.
“We would’ve never spoken if I knew she was married,” he stated. “I’m not the type of person that messes with married women. She kept telling me she was divorced for 10-plus years.”
The actor then noted that their marriage was “supposed to be a legal” one; however, it was “voided,” adding, “I didn’t need to annul it because we weren’t legally married. I dodged a bullet there.”
‘The Blind Side’ Star Has Not Spoken To His Ex Since He Last Saw Her In The Hospital
Aaron confirmed that he has not seen Margarita since he was hospitalized and that they are no longer in contact, after the exposure of her true marital status, which was done by his family members during his stroke ordeal.
“There were times I remember seeing her in the room, but I was in and out of consciousness, and I didn’t speak to her because I was intubated. I don’t need to speak to her ever again,” he added.
Now, Aaron says he is going to leave God “in charge of the love department” in his life, noting that he is done seeking out partners on Bumble, Tinder, Facebook and TikTok, where he met Margarita.
“God has blessed me with a second chance to do it the right way,” he said.
Quinton Aaron Claims He Had Already Checked Out Of Their ‘Marriage’ Before He Suffered A Stroke
Speaking more about his sham marriage with Margarita, the actor admitted that their relationship had been toxic for a long time due to endless fighting, mutual accusations, and dishonesty.
He said he felt completely trapped in the situation and had actually been praying for a spiritual intervention to remove Margarita from his life, having emotionally checked out of the romance long before the scandal broke.
For him, discovering her secret past was simply the absolute final breaking point that forced them apart, and he was entirely at peace with that outcome.
“I’d been praying for God to remove her from my life because I felt like I was stuck,” Aaron stated. “I was done a long time ago. So I feel like if this was the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, the thing that had to happen in order to finally separate us, I was OK with it.”
Despite currently being confined to a seat and restricted in his movement, he expressed deep gratitude just to be alive, maintaining optimism that he will fully regain his ability to walk again.
‘The Blind Side’ Actor Has Forgiven His Ex And Hopes She Gets The ‘Help She Needs’
Speaking more about healing, Aaron discussed how his Christian faith helped him get through the marriage discovery, saying, “It’s definitely been a challenge dealing with that and the recovery.”
He noted, “[Earlier on], a lot of things aggravated me easily, which spiked my blood pressure. When I was intubated, I was dealing with depression and anger and all these different emotions. So I got to this point where I had to completely shut all of that out.”
“In order for me to move forward, I needed to completely remove [Margarita] from my life,” Aaron continued. “So that’s what I did. As a Christian, I forgave her a long time ago because I didn’t want to hold on to the anger and have it slow down my process of healing.”
“I really do wish her well. I hope she gets the help she needs,” the actor added.
Quinton Aaron‘s Ex Slammed His Claim That She Tried To Kill Him
Prior to his recent confession, Aaron claimed in a statement to TMZ that Margarita is “satanic” and wanted to kill him.
However, she has since pushed back against his allegations, insisting she is not “satanic” and never attempted to harm the actor because she deeply loves him.
To defend her name, she highlighted her past efforts to help him adopt healthier habits, pointing to his extensive history of medical issues, which includes diabetes, congestive heart failure, and past episodes of coughing up blood.
Noting that their very first meeting took place while he was hospitalized, she argued that his current physical struggles are entirely unrelated to her.
Margarita further maintained that she is a deeply religious woman, declaring, “If anything came from ‘spirits’ or ‘satanic’ it’s from Quinton’s side of the family.”
