Kris on James: We stopped loving each other a long time ago
MANILA, Philippines – Actress-television host Kris Aquino has ruled out any possibility of reconciliation between her and husband cager James Yap.
In her tell-all interview with “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda, which was aired Sunday, Aquino was bent on ending her 5-year marriage to Yap. She said she has yet to talk to her lawyers about the legal proceedings.
“Ang pinakamahalaga is alam niya at alam ko why this marriage ended. Alam din niya kung saan siya nagkulang kasi may mga tinext siya sa akin while I was abroad saying na he realizes where he went wrong. But I said it's really too late,” she said.
Aquino flew to the United States for a 3-week vacation with her 2 sons, Josh and Baby James. Josh is Aquino’s son from a previous relationship.
Aquino also disclosed that both she and Yap were already “miserable,” and that they “stopped loving each other a long time ago.”
She also said she was already tired of “pretending that everything was okay.”
“I acknowledged in my heart naubos talaga yong love, April 26 of this year. May nasabi siya sa anak ko, which I will forever keep between the 2 of us. May nasabi siya, sa galit namin sa isa't isa siguro, noong panahon na yon na nasaktan talaga ako. At nagpatunay talaga sa akin na this is not the man for me, this is not the man I want to stay with because dinadamay na niya ang 3 years old na bata na dapat protektahan nating dalawa,” she said.
Aquino also admitted Yap’s rumored illicit affair. She said she had been faithful during their marriage, but she did not think Yap can say the same thing.

She also confessed that they had not fully resolved an issue involving Hope Centeno. In 2007, they went through a rough patch after Yap was rumored to have had a romantic affair with Centeno, one of the receptionists at the Belo Medical Clinic.
When asked to comment on rumors that Yap got a girl pregnant, meantime, Aquino said she would be the last person to know if these were true.
“My Ate (Ballsy) mentioned na napapabalitaan he's dating somebody already and then I think my Ate was testing the waters with me. And I said, 'Good.' Yon talaga. Yon ang opinion ko kasi we don't live under one roof anymore so it's his right. And it will make much easier for the entire country to move on,” she said.
She also maintained that she no longer harbors any ill feeling toward him because of their son, 3-year-old Baby James. “Bali-baliktarin natin, balikan natin, kung isusuma tutal natin lahat ng iniyak ko, lahat ng iniyak niya, lahat ng pinag-awayan namin, ang suma tutal niyan is nagkaroon kami ng Bimbi (Baby James). At burado na lahat ng sama ng loob dahil kay Bimbi.”
Aquino said she had her closure before she went to the United States. She said she and Yap talked for 2 hours before she flew to the US. She, however, declined to divulge the details of their conversation.
She also said her 3 sisters and brother, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, support her decision.
In June, Aquino announced that she was giving up on her 5-year marriage to Yap. Aquino said it was not a “spur of the moment” decision.
Aquino, who already moved out of their home, refused to reveal the reason behind their separation. She said she was keeping quiet for the sake of Baby James, their 3-year-old son.
On June 16, Aquino first admitted in public through her Twitter page that she and Yap, B-Meg Derby Ace’s (formerly Purefoods) star player, had a “big misunderstanding.”
Stress and long hours spent during her brother's election campaign period took a toll on their relationship, said Aquino, the lead star of ABS-CBN primetime soap opera “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo."
Aquino, who is 11 years older than Yap, married the professional basketball player on July 10, 2005.

james and kris
remember james isn't king now at the hardcourt and kris is still the queen of all talks that is why she wnats jun jun binay now bcoz he is the king of makati and kris is makati as in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! getz nyo?8
Kris probably didn't knew it,
Kris probably didn't knew it, but James Yap is actually having the time of his life when she announced that they were splitting.
It's his time now. And what an opportunity! James has an opportunity to have a YOUNG and VIRGIN wife. A family of his own and the opportunity to be in control for the first time since he married Kris and to live a life with less reporters asking about Kris.
Why would James go back to his former life when today he is his own man.
There is HOPE for James. Get what I mean?
You still buy to Kris' BS after all
Nakakatawa naman kayo, masyado kayo nagpapa-apekto sa mga sinasabi ni Krissy! All of us commenting here and elsewhere, let's admit that it's a guilty pleasure to still listen to Kris no matter how annoying and self centered she may always sound. Kase, if you really don't give a shit about her then why would you still waste your time commenting on these issues that involve her? She's among the most popular in this country, the one that has the most number of endorsements simply because people listen to her! Whether you like it or you like it, she's always gonna take the limelight and just don't switch your TV to local channels if you don't wanna hear anymore of her crap.
antipatika

kris,pwede bang manahimik ka na lang
Kris, bakit ba gustung-gusto mo na yang private life mo ay pinag-uusapan ng bayan.Hindi ba pwedeng kung ano man ang problema mo sa buhay, i-share mo na lang sa mga kapatid at kaibigan mo at huwag mo ng ipangalandakan sa publiko.Ang tingin ko nagkakaroon ka ng kasiyahan at maligayang-maligaya ka kapag nakukuha mo ang atensyon ng media at ikaw ang topic at laman ng mga balita sa tv at newspapers.
over
sa mga panay sabi na sawa na daw sa kakapanuod kay kris at kakapakinig sa mga pinagsasabi nya eh over kayo! bakit panay comment kung sawa na noh! alam nyo mga people lahat tyo may mga mistakes buhay natin, di tyo perfect na tao. kaya sya may karapatan din magkamali. kung tlagang ayaw na nyo marinig si kris eh bakit updated kayo sa mga sinsabi nya.
Laughing Hyena Krissy
=The Sickest Kunt Fuk Head=
Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick! Sick! Sick!
And EEEWW!
enough already
ENOUGH ALREDAY of this Tupperware drama. Plus does the public really need to know or care about her menstrual cycles? HAY NAKU THIS IS SO SICK
I concur with aling Malin's comment
She is right, kasi noong funeral ng mom ni Kris a year ago, James seems malamig kasi si Kris hagolgol sa pagiyak pero hindi man lang niya inaakbayan yata noon. More advice sa iyo Kris, hwag padalos-dalos ng decision sa maging soul mate mo. Ask God for guidance or Mama Mary. Jesus suffering is more difficult than what we are experiencing here. Like what I said on my previous comment, find something to do to divert your lonliness like doing volunteer, go to church or pray, or help P-noy in uplifting our country, help him on his mission and vision. Ipagpatuloy mo ang pagtulong sa mga mahihirap and you will be fine. Concentrate your time with your kids or family. Malaki ang family mo na makakatulong sa kalungkutan mo or dedicate your life to God by doing his will. May God guide you and protect you. God bless.
