Kris Aquino responded to a post by her ex-boyfriend’s son last month and extended her apologies to the latter’s family.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, April 2, the Queen of All Media clarified that when she publicly revealed her breakup, she was still an “angry ex-girlfriend” who did not feel like a priority and felt unimportant amid her health challenges.
She also acknowledged her failure to state that Doc Mike Padlan had flown to Los Angeles around four more times alone. She did not ask him to check up on her, but he did so willingly and on his own accord.
“Those visits weren’t paid for, nag abono pa nga siya. Doc Mike, I APOLOGIZE for NOT STATING THIS IN MY EARLIER POST,” she clarified.
Their friendship began in April 2024, and had a long-distance courtship through an online messaging app. When they began dating, their families became close, with Dr Padlan’s young relatives calling her “Mama Kris.”
“What really went wrong–many things. I honestly believed that finally–I was going to have my HAPPILY EVER AFTER. I expected too much…as my autoimmune diseases multiplied, the more he retreated,” she wrote.
After a stressful time, she mentioned that she fought hard for the relationship to work. But because of all the challenges like caring for a sick partner, it got too difficult. Despite this, Kris highlighted that nobody should be blamed for the breakup, adding that she is not ashamed to admit that she was the one who “loved and needed more.”
“For anybody–even a doctor, a very sick partner requires much sacrifice and understanding,” she said.
The former actress also clarified that she can only speak for herself and addressed the statement made by the doctor’s son.
“I took the time to respond to your statements directly. Umasa pa rin ako that you didn’t know everything. So your statement came from not having seen the entire picture. I have receipts, BUT why will I, in proving your allegations wrong, make people see who really is telling the truth,” she emphasized.
“I did promise to be mama Kris come what may,” she added.

Meanwhile, the former actress revealed that she now has nine autoimmune disorders. Her fevers are expected to come frequently as she is also diagnosed with Progressive Sclerosis or Scleroderma, Lupus, Polymyositis, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MTCD).
In her previous post, Kris shared her pain and struggle as she was experiencing a lupus flare-up.
