Pearl Modiadei Talks About Moving On After Calling Off Her Engagement

Television and radio personality, Pearl Modiadie, refuses to sit back and feel sorry for herself after she confirmed that her whirlwind romance had ended, as she was spotted without her engagement ring.

Well, she was initially mum about the details of the break up from the businessman since she made an announcement on her Metro FM show, The Great Escape. But for the first time she exclusively opened up to DRUM about her failed relationship and how she found the strength to move on.

“Often people feel they need to be with someone, but Bali made me realise I can be alone – it helped me to find Pearl again and realise I’m a free spirit. For a long time I felt caged up. I’d closed myself off from a lot of things, but being there alone made me find my happiness,” she said talking about her recent solo vacation to Bali, Indonesia.

“My mother taught me to stand on my own feet and be an independent woman,” she recalls. “That alone time in Bali brought back memories of her (Pearl lost her mom at the age of 19). I’ve always paid attention to that advice. That’s why I work so hard because I hate asking people for stuff. I need my independence and I’ve been working at it from a very young age.
