Chameleone reveals how distance helped him heal from Daniella heartbreak

Jose Chameleone has revealed how his marriage breakdown with ex-wife Daniella Atim left him emotionally bruised, taking him four to five years to pick up the pieces.

The legendary singer, who married Daniella in a star-studded wedding in 2008, revealed that their separation was one of the toughest emotional battles he has ever faced. The couple have five children together.

Speaking during a live broadcast with Bruno K, Chameleone admitted that heartbreak is not the kind of injury you nurse over the weekend and return to work on Monday. Sometimes, it takes years to recover.

“God created love in its own form. Love knows no one, and I have been there. How do you think I felt when we separated from my wife? It was a huge struggle. Those who know real heartbreak know that it doesn't heal in a year. It can take you like four to five years to get better and forget that person,” he said.

But while time was doing its healing work, distance apparently played its own important role.

Following their separation, Daniella and the couple's children relocated to the United States, meaning Chameleone did not have to deal with the painful experience of constantly bumping into his former partner.

According to the singer, having his relationship troubles away from the public eye also helped him recover before the matter became a subject of public discussion.

“Heartbreak hurts so much when the person who dumped you is ever in your face or your issues are out there for people to taunt you. What helped me was that by the time my issues came out in the public, time had already gone. Like it had happened eight years ago. At this time, I had already healed,” he said.

In other words, by the time the public caught up with Chameleone's heartbreak, he had already left the emotional hospital and been discharged.
