Kris Aquino’s Candid Revelation Leaves Fans Concerned: “My Heart Was Broken, But I’m Still Fighting”

June 20, 2025

Metro Manila — Philippine television icon and former talk show queen Kris Aquino has once again opened her heart to the public—this time revealing a deeply personal truth that brought tears to many of her followers. The emotional message, which centered on her health and love life, sparked a wave of support from netizens and fellow celebrities alike.

A Painful Confession About Love

In a recent social media post, Kris revealed that she and her former partner—an American doctor—had ended their relationship. She quoted a painful line he said before they parted ways:

“I left you because you are difficult to love, and it feels suffocating.”

This confession deeply resonated with her followers, many of whom shared their sadness and admiration for her honesty. The statement gave fans a rare and painful glimpse into the emotional weight Kris has been quietly carrying, even as she continues to battle multiple life-threatening autoimmune conditions.

Health Battles That Continue

Kris also gave an update on her health, confirming that her weight had dropped to just 80 pounds (36 kg) and that walking had become extremely difficult due to the combination of autoimmune disorders she has been diagnosed with, including lupus, fibromyalgia, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

“Each step is painful. I’m not as strong as I used to be,” she said in one of her updates.

She has been receiving ongoing treatment in the United States for the past two years and continues to be under the care of a dedicated medical team. Despite her condition, Kris emphasized that her son Bimby remains her greatest motivation:

“When you are unconditionally loved… you will not give up.”

Fans React with Sympathy and Encouragement

Kris’s post drew thousands of heartfelt comments from her followers and fellow celebrities. Words like “Stay strong,” “We love you,” and “You’ve been through so much” filled her comment section within hours. Many also praised Bimby, who has been seen supporting his mother physically and emotionally throughout her journey.

Photos and videos that surfaced earlier this year showed Kris walking slowly while being supported by her son, a moment that touched many hearts across the nation.

Public But Private

Despite her fame, Kris has managed to maintain a level of grace and privacy, choosing when and how to share her struggles. This openness has made her not only a media figure, but a relatable woman for many Filipinos—particularly those dealing with invisible illnesses, heartbreak, and the challenges of raising children alone.

In her most recent post, Kris mentioned that although her health limits her ability to return to television or film, she remains grateful for life and for every message of encouragement she receives.

A Journey Marked by Courage

Over the years, Kris has been known for her resilience through political controversies, family issues, public heartbreaks, and now, chronic illness. But through it all, she continues to be transparent with her fans.

Her ability to stay vulnerable, yet strong, has inspired many to speak openly about their own struggles and to seek support when needed.
