Kris After Rising from Heartbreak: ‘I’m Already Done with Romantic Illusions’
“Life seldom turns out the way we plan it. Sometimes events lead us to consider choices we thought we would never make. And one can only hope that whatever path is taken will bring about joy and fulfillment.”
In the latest issue of K (Kris Aquino) Magazine, Philippine showbiz’ ‘Queen of all Media’ Kris Aquino opens her heart to her readers in an exclusive tell-all personal account titled, “Endings & Beginnings.”
Here, Kris reflects on some of her life’s most difficult decisions from issues of duty, career and love. She reveals what gave her the courage to make these hard choices; rise above pain, loss and disillusionment; and move forward—stronger, better and wiser.
“I choose to look forward…I have learned many lessons in the past five years of marriage and the most important one is that my silence will give my sons and I have a greater chance of moving forward in a less damaging way,” says Kris. “I don’t need to expound on what has become of my marriage. I will maintain the dignity of my silence because I owe it to Bimby, Josh, my sisters and my brother to keep quiet. Apart from James and me, they are the only people in my life directly affected by my decisions.”
Since the breakup, nasty rumors and malicious speculations have been circulating about a possibility of a new love. But Kris clears the issue by saying, “I won’t enter into any new relationship while my marriage is still legally binding. It’s only when I’m legally free that I will ever think of dating again and even if you ask me now, I believe I’m already done with any romantic illusions. Lasting love and a committed relationship just don’t seem to be part of my fate.”
Kris further shares about her firm resolution amid many changes and challenges. “I have grown up and I will continue to mature…My life is far from perfect, but I’m not complaining. I choose to be excited about my now empty glass, because I look forward to what will be pouring in…I look forward to continue becoming a better me.”
Also in this issue of K Magazine are exclusive stories on Kris emotional farewell on The Buzz and about Aquino family’s desire to inspire others to serve.
