My purpose moving forward is to take advantage of the second chance I\u2019ve been given.<\/p>\n<p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited to still be here, and to tell my story&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                      \t\t\t<!-- Dailymotion player (contact: Kutay.vardar@dailymotion.com) --><\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Whether it\u2019s in a chair or on my feet, I\u2019ll be on the screen again. I\u2019m writing a script, and I\u2019ll be directing in the future. I also plan on doing speaking tours to tell my story [and] to talk about the journey, the mental toughness, the emotional toughness, the feeling like you want to break but not doing it. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Everything that I\u2019m experiencing, I feel like it wasn\u2019t just for me. It was for everyone else who\u2019s experiencing something similar. A lot of people give up, and I want to encourage them to do the opposite. I have to keep going. God didn\u2019t bring me back for nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the weeks after his medical emergency, Quinton&#8217;s family discovered Margarita DeLeon, who he had married in December 2024, was still legally wed to her previous husband, and the actor hasn&#8217;t spoken to her since then, which added a further &#8220;challenge&#8221; to his recovery, though he insisted he has forgiven her.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;It\u2019s definitely been a challenge dealing with that and the recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;[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. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;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 her from my life. So that\u2019s what I did. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;As a Christian, I forgave her a long time ago because I didn\u2019t 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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We would\u2019ve never spoken if I knew she was married. I\u2019m not the type of person that messes with married women. She kept telling me she was divorced for 10-plus years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nQuinton believes he has &#8220;dodged a bullet&#8221; after their marriage was &#8220;voided&#8221; and he&#8217;ll be more cautious when looking for love in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;It was supposed to be a legal marriage. Thankfully, the marriage was voided. I didn\u2019t need to annul it because we weren\u2019t legally married. I dodged a bullet there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if he&#8217;s ready to move on, he replied: &#8220;Absolutely. God has blessed me with a second chance to do it the right way. I\u2019m gonna leave him in charge of the love department. I got too much else to focus on. I was on Tinder. I was on Bumble. I was on Facebook dating. And I found her on TikTok. I\u2019m not doing that anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/quinton-aaron-feeling-optimistic-walk-1449330.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19 August 2026 Quinton Aaron is &#8220;very optimistic&#8221; he will walk again.
