Kris Aquino admits lying about moving on

Kris Aquino admitted she lied when she said she has moved on from her past relationship with Quezon City mayor Herbert Bautista.

“Further truth, I lied when I said sa Buzz before the ice bucket challenge that I’ve moved on, I haven’t. May bubog pa sa puso… So I’ll repeat, all in God’s time,” Kris posted on Instagram on Thursday, September 18, along with her clarification about Philippine Star Entertainment Editor Ricky Lo’s column about her ‘ardent suitor.’

Ardent suitor

Lo wrote that Kris is happy these days because of the guy.

“I know the reason why Kris Aquino is on Cloud 9 and feeling magnanimous these days. No, it’s not her good friend Derek Ramsay who’s responsible for it but an ardent suitor who is the “ex” of a popular TV host. If ever Kris and the man (from an influential clan) do click, she will be (hopefully!) wearing an “L” pendant (goodbye, letter “B”!). The man can make Kris happy in many ways, including giving her the “moon” if she asks for it. There’s the clue.”

Kris admitted she had casual dinner dates with two men after her relationship with Herbert, but one of them was not with the ’ardent suitor’ mentioned in the column. The guy always sends flowers, which Kris always posts on her Instagram account. But she hasn’t met him in person yet.

“I will be PERFECTLY HONEST, I have casually had dinner “dates” w/ 2 people since my relationship w/ Mayor HB ended, neither of them is the man in this blind item… @ramsayderek11 is a dear friend & I know we will remain lifelong friends. The man in the articles has been thoughtful, to the point that my home could be a flower shop already, but I politely told him that even if I’m single, I am not interested & he should please stop sending flowers. I have never seen him face to face, we have never even spoken on the phone, hanggang text lang. Mali ako to have posted the flowers because it may have sent the wrong signal, wrong move on my part,” Kris posted.

Still looking for Mr. Right

Although the single mom still hopes to find Mr. Right, Kris knows this is impossible for now, given the demands of her job and its responsibilities.

“Of course I still pray to not grow old alone, to have a partner who will marry me in Church & who will be someone who is comfortable w/ my past, accepts my 2 sons, and who will want to build a good future together. But I realize w/ my job, my schedule, and my responsibilities at present, a lasting, loving relationship is not possible. Kaya bakit ko ipipilit ang alam kong hindi pa pwede?”

Kris addressed bashers who accuse her of not learning from her mistakes.

“Madalas yung bashers sinasabihan akong malandi ako, sabik sa lalaki at hindi na natuto… Well this time, MALING MALI kayo… I won’t tell you I’m perfectly happy because that would be a lie. But I am CONTENT, and I have surrendered my heart to God. He knows when the time will be right for love & in God’s perfect time He will bless me w/ the man who will be both my partner & my best friend.”

For now, Kris finds love and fulfillment from her family and career.

“My Mom used to always remind me that it’s impossible to have it all, that I should prioritize & be grateful for what I do have. Bongga ang career, happy & alagang alaga ang mga anak ko, close & loving kami ng mga kapatid ko. For now okay na yun. “
