Kris Aquino tells Mark Leviste: 'Thank you for keeping in touch but I'd really prefer if you don't'

Kris Aquino revealed that she told ex-partner and Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste to no longer keep in touch with her.

In a series of Instagram Stories that the actress and host called “My truth,” she shared screenshots of a lengthy message to Mark.

She asked him, “Aren't you tired of the unanswered messages?”

“It took me 2 weeks & a half to feel that [I] no longer really feel the need to keep communication lines open with you," she added.

Kris also said that she no longer wants to know about what’s happening in Mark’s life, or to keep him informed about hers.

She added that she has not “been influenced by anyone,” but that she had fallen back into her hobbies of reading books, magazines, and The New York Times, as well as “coping with the hardships my body must endure.”

"[I] want to remain polite but this is really what happens when we are so far from each other—people really do grow apart," she said. "Thank you for keeping in touch BUT [I'd] really prefer if you don't.”

“It's really a lot more peaceful now. And that's always been my prayer. Serenity & Peace,” she added.

In Mark’s reply, he said, “I don’t know exactly how to respond to your message,” but the rest has been cut off.

The screenshots were followed by a note from Kris. She wrote, “Was I asking for too much when I asked for our relationship to stay private?”

“[I] never posted details... ang problema, nagising ako sa katotohanan na kung talagang minahal ako, at alam na sumuko na ko sa LDR, bakit hindi kinayang ibigay yung katahimikan na kailangan ko for my emotional wellness, lessened anxiety, and my chance for a peaceful healing journey?” Kris said. “Mahirap ang pinagdadaanan ko—[I] don't wish this on anybody...”

She also gave a health update following the increased dosage of her chemotherapy medication.

“[I’ve] barely slept since [the dosage] because SOBRANG SAKIT ng buong katawan hanggang sa buto na mismo. [I] try not to cry in front of kuya & [Bimb] BUT [I] couldn't stop my tears,” Kris said.

She also honored those who are also undergoing chemotherapy. “[Bilib] na bilib ako sa tapang nyo. Sa mga naka-graduate and okay na ngayon, YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION.”

Kris and Mark revealed their relationship early this year. The actress said that she found both love and friendship in Mark.

In July, Kris asked Mark for a “pause” in their relationship, and said that they “just weren’t meant for each other.”

Kris, as well as her sons Josh and Bimby, are currently in the US for the treatment of her autoimmune conditions.
