Kristoffer Martin admits to being a father

In a tearful admission,  Kristoffer Martin revealed he is a father to a four-year-old girl. 

According to the Kapuso actor, sharing this specific part of his life is definitely a big leap, as he's alway maintained a balance in his personal and professional life.

Kristoffer’s four year old daughter, Precious Christine or Prè, for short happens to be an “open secret” among his peers in showbiz.

“My friends know. ‘Daming (sic) nakakaalam. Ninong pa nga si Alden. Ninang si Bea, si Rodjun, si Thea, marami pa, as in marami pang nakaalam. Tapos yung iba na ['di] nakakaalam, nagtatanong kasi nga may haka-haka. Sinasabi ko talaga,” Kristoffer said. 

“Hindi naman kasi ako malabas ng personal eh. If you’re going to search dun sa mga account ko, talaga sobrang konti lang makikita mo sa personal life ko. That’s me. Alam ko kasi i-balance yung work ko sa personal life eh. Sabi ko nga, I want to give Prè yung privacy na deserve niya,” the 26-year-old actor added.

Kristoffer asserts he was never an absentee father. In fact, these past few weeks have been difficult for him, as it is the first time Prey has been away from him.

“I have Prè  and I love my daughter. I really love my daughter. I miss her every day. When I call her, I always tell her, 'daddy misses you every day. Daddy loves you so much',” said Kristoffer.

“Si Prè nasa mommy niya. Ako kasi nasa Olongapo. Nasa ano siya sa pangangalaga siya ng mommy niya ngayon.”

The Kapuso actor clarified his relationship status with the kid’s mom, saying, “Things didn’t work out."

"We talked about this and nag-usap talaga. I won’t go into details kasi hindi naman na dapat sabihin," he said.

The two decided to co-parent and set apart their breakup from how would they take care of their daughter.

“Hinding hindi ko papabayaan si Prè. Hindi niya mararamdaman na nawalan siya ng tatay, na wala ako dun.”

Kristoffer considers this revelation as "a big chunk off his chest." Its effect on his showbiz career, positive or otherwise, are the least of his concern for now. What’s important for him now is the fact that he was able to finally acknowledge, publicly, the biggest blessing in his life.

“Actually, I’m happy.  Itong kay Prè ha, sobrang tagal ko nang gustong ilabas. As in sobra, sabi ko, ‘Lord, pengeng sign. Isang tao lang. Talaga may isang …ano lang. Proud ako na nagawa ko ito kasi she deserves this. She really deserves this.” —LA/MGP, GMA News
