Kris Aquino
Philippine 'Queen of All Media' Kris Aquino opened up about her failed relationship with a doctor, as she faces her 'greatest battle' in her life after being diagnosed with multiple autoimmune diseases.
In her Instagram post, the youngest daughter of democracy icons Ninoy Aquino and Cory Aquino talked about her heartbreak.
Kris wrote on Instagram, “Time has passed: DR. M did not love me. He chose to leave when my autoimmune conditions were multiplying. In my defense the MD received the correct professional fees- even when we were a couple.”
She added, “'INIWAN KITA, masikip ang paligid'”- my prayer now is that we leave others out of our failure. I did cling & asked for too much because YOU RESTORED MY HOPE, WHEN IN YOUR ARMS I DID FEEL SAFE. i don't regret loving you completely. Sanay akong mabigo.”
Kris children
Despite her health struggle, Kris finds comfort in knowing that her son Bimby will always be there for her no matter what.
The TV host posted, “Life is difficult for all of us- but faith in God and REAL love proven by ACTION give ALL the needed willpower to persevere. Thank you God, thank you TO ALL for your continued prayers for my healing, and to MY “northern star” - Bimb for being much more than your mama deserves.”
Mike Padlan
With Kris sharing her story about her heartbreak, the son of her ex-boyfriend Dr. Mike Padlan, Miguel Lorenzo decided to defend his father on Facebook.
Miguel wanted to clarify, "The truth is simple, yes, my father and Mama Kris separated because the spark between them was gone. However, that does not mean my father never loved her. He truly did. Their relationship was real, and he cared deeply for her. But love alone is not always enough to make a relationship last forever. Sometimes, two people are simply not meant to be together in the long run, no matter how much they once loved each other.”

Is love sweeter the second time around? The ex-husband of former beauty queen Ruffa Gutierrez, Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas confirmed via Instagram Stories the rumors that he again proposed to Ruffa.
He confirmed, "I would like to say, Yes, these news are true. I will be visiting the Philippines soon,"
